LONG TERM SAVINGS focuses on exponential patterns as they represent real world situations about passive investment in an index fund as a vehicle for long term savings. This is an extended problem solving activity for use in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 or Algebra 2. I use this with students in small groups working collaboratively through the activity. I wrote problems like this because some of the things we were using in class were so dated, talking about keeping a paper checkbook or video game arcade

PURCHASE DECISIONS focuses on linear systems as they represent real world situations about choosing a temporary phone plan after college. This is an extended problem solving activity for use in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 or Algebra 2. I use this with students in small groups working collaboratively through the activity. I wrote problems like this because some of the things we were using in class were so dated, talking about keeping a paper checkbook or video game arcades at the mall... This problem

WANING VACCINE EFFECTIVENESS focuses on exponential patterns as they represent real world situations about the COVID-19 vaccines and boosters (includes links to the the studies I used for quantitative data about vaccine effectiveness). This is an extended problem solving activity for use in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 or Algebra 2. I use this with students in small groups working collaboratively through the activity. I wrote problems like this because some of the things we were using in class were so

OUTBREAK POTENTIAL focuses on exponential patterns as they represent real world situations about a hypothetical COVID-19 outbreak in March of 2020. This is an extended problem solving activity for use in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 or Algebra 2. I use this with students in small groups working collaboratively through the activity.
