Project Directions: You and a partner are going to survey students in your school. You are going to pick a question of your choice, maybe you want to know what type of music they listen to, or what their favorite food is. You are going to conduct your survey and present to the class.

Students get a chance to practice solving for surface area and volume while creating a delicious gingerbread house. The basic supplies needed are 6 graham cracker halves (or 3 whole) and icing per house, additional candy to decorate, paper plates to build on, and empty milk cartoons will make construction easier.

This project was created for a consumer math class. It has the students selecting 3 stocks, and buying different amounts based on their budget (I chose budgets and had them draw from a hat). Students will then track the 3 stocks for a month (I have them back track dates on Yahoo! Finance's History tab), and then graphing their gains or losses. Students will then finish by summarizing their month.

Culminating Project that asks students to use a town using parallel lines with traversals; rotations, reflections, and dilations; the area of trapezoids, circles, and rectangles; and the sum of the interior angles of polygons. Includes the requirements, a rubric, and the worksheets to work through the problems.

This was created for a Consumer Math Course. It has students research, and create a budget for a Big Life Event (a wedding, a baby, or two vacations for a family of 4). It provides a list of essential items for each option, and leaves a few blank for students to add their own items. It also has them look at the different qualities for items, and budget in different situations.

Students will use fractions, decimals, and percents to scale 3 recipes, combine ingredients used multiple times, shop for groceries, and find the total cost after applying a coupon and sales tax.

In this project, students will use rates to decide on the best way to travel to a family reunion in St. Louis. Students will look at traveling by plane, car, or train to see which will take the longest as well as which will cost the most to decide on the best method of travel for their "family."

A choice board that allows students to demonstrate their knowledge of graphing equations in their an analytical, practical, or creative way.

This task asks students to use their knowledge of volume in surface area to solve for one variable before applying that variable to another situation.

Cards you can use to make math stations where students can practice comparing and ordering fractions, decimals, and percents in isolation or mixed together.

This activity will help students have fun while practicing converting fraction, decimals, and percents. This includes fractions (not mixed numbers) and repeating decimals.

In order for students to gain back partial credit on a quiz or test, they have to use this document to redo the problems they missed.
