Angle of Elevation and Angle of Rotation
In these two playdough mats, students use playdough to practice their Angle of Rotation and Angle of Elevation skills. Because the use of playdough is “big and bold”, the teacher can easily and formatively assess student understanding.
The Angle of Rotation mat has students start with color coding the initial side and terminal side of an angle. It then moves students through creating both positive and negative angles of rotation, as well as angles a
Students struggle with proofs for many reasons. Often, when given information, they do not know where start. Students need to think that if they are proving triangles are congruent, “how can I use SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS”. If they are showing lines are parallel on a graph, “how can I use slope”, etc.
This resource can be used a variety of ways to help students determine where to go with the given information. Pages 3 & 4 can be given to students as a handout. Pages 5-8 are designed to be used
The games of “Guess What” is modeled after the classic games of Guess Who and Hedbanz. It is a 2 player game (that can be modified for 3 players) where players take turns asking yes and no questions to isolate a graph. The first player to guess the other player’s graph wins! Game Setup:Each player takes their game board and places it in a dry erase sheet protector. Each player chooses a graph for which the other player will guess. Choose who goes first. That person will ask a yes or no questi

**Ready to go! No prep required! Turkey Math for Upper Levels** Are your students antsy before Thanksgiving break? Then this is the perfect activity to fill up to 2 days and still have them talking about math!! In the article A definitive ranking of Thanksgiving sides, Alex Abad-Santos, discusses various attributes of common Thanksgiving sides. He presents a variety of graphs (bar graph, circle graph, line graphs, and scatterplot) to demonstrate the comparisons. In this activity, students ar
In this technology based activity, students will use Desmos.com to gain understanding of writing equations of lines in Point Slope Form and finding Domain and Range. Students are given a link to a Desmos shooting star design which has been made with tables. They are asked to find the equation of each line used to make the design. Students are open to write equations in slope intercept form or point slope form, however, point slope form is easier for this activity. Students are also asked to
Students get thrown into a real life problem with this project! The scenario the students work through is a concrete company that has suddenly lost a vital employee. The company is in need of providing a quote to a customer ASAP for a basement, driveway, and garage floor. Students are provided with dimensions and price points for different thicknesses of concrete. Based on this information, they are to come up with a proposed price for the customer.
The work doesn’t stop there! The company
Students usually catch on to factoring trinomials when the a = 1, but they have a harder time when the a does not equal 1. This factoring mat will help students organize their ideas for pairs of factors.
Since factoring trinomials is often a trial and error process, it can be frustrating for students. Therefore, this mat is intended to be used as dry erase marker activity. The printed sheets can be placed in sheet protectors, or you can use more durable protectors such as these. It is als
Often students are asked to participate in fundraising to support their school and/or organizations, but how do those organizations set goals for selling? In this activity, students will use their knowledge of graphing systems of inequalities (or linear programming) to propose fundraising goals. The scenario the students work through is a real life scenario that occurred in my school. In the introduction, students brainstorm possible solutions to this problem, then the activity walks them thr
In this activity, students will analyze calories and fat fast food sandwiches. They will collect data, create a scatterplot, and generate a line of best fit. Then they will use this information to create equations in Slope Intercept Form and Point Slope Form. The equations will be used for making predictions and inferences. Students are encouraged to work in groups to collect the data to help “divide and conquer” the work. This activity can be used as an introduction to PSF and SIF or as a su
In this envelope activity, students practice matching parallel and perpendicular slopes. Download the preview to view the various forms of questions.
Envelope activities are a great way for students to get practice without having the feel of a drill and practice worksheet. Students can work in groups or individually. The teacher can have students pass the envelopes after a given amount of time while students stay in their seats, students can rotate between stations set up each with an envelo
Great fall activity! In this STEAM activity, Band students and Geometry students will collaborate to learn how transformation geometry applies to marching band.
Marching bands use transformations to map out their show on the field. The coordinates that are used are similar to those that are studied in Geometry, and the football field is similar to the coordinate plane. In this interdisciplinary activity, marching band students are paired up with Geometry students in order to learn from each o
Students love to talk about their birthdays! This activity has students collect classmate birthday data and uses that data to apply to basic probability. This product includes teacher notes, a data recording sheet for students, and 9 questions to relate the data to probability. Questions include: What is the probability of having a birthday on an ODD numbered day? What is the probability of having a birthday during a month containing the letter “Y”? The activity could be used as practice or a
This is not your ordinary matching practice worksheet for factor and FOIL! Yes, included in this product is a 10 question practice matching factor/FOIL worksheet. However, it also comes with cards for a variety of activities to assess understanding!
After completing the worksheet, students pick a card. (Cards are on pages 5-7 and need to be PRECUT by the teacher.) Once everyone (or the majority – use teacher discretion) in the class is finished and has a card, the teacher should have stude
For this inquiry activity, students create their own design on a coordinate plane and use this design to explore properties of dilation. They will be asked to shrink and expand their design by a given scale factor, compare the coordinates of each design, and finally be given an opportunity to prove the properties of similarity and dilation on a coordinate plane. Students will use the distance formula to demonstrate corresponding sides are proportional and a protractor to demonstrate correspondi
In this activity, students are given various clues such as the standard form of the equation of a line, point slope form, slope, x intercept, y intercept, and 2 random points. They are to use the given information to find the remaining missing information. This activity is a great way for students to demonstrate understanding and connections between these different components of a linear function. The activity can be used as an enrichment for a lower grade level Algebra class, practice for an
This Anytime Activity is designed to complement the classic musical composition “Dot and a Line: A Romance of Lower Mathematics” that was created in 1965. Questions keep students accountable to paying attention the the narration. At the end there are questions such as “Relate the romantic story of the dot and line to another romance you have seen in a story, poem, book, or movie. Explain why you chose this particular romance” to help students tie this piece together with some of the literary
In this activity, students and teachers are directed to a website that has a wide variety of movie clips that reference math. For this particular activity, students watch a clip and answer the questions provided. This has been a really fun activity for my secondary math classes as a “rainy day” activity, math emergency sub plan, or a stress release during state/standardized testing! You can spend as little or as much time on this activity as you and your students would like. Let’s hear it for Ho
In this inquiry activity, students will use clip art to discover the properties of similar figures (corresponding sides proportional and corresponding angles equal). Have students pick out a clip art that represents them. It is preferable to choose clip art that has some straight lines and definite angles to measure. (For example, a baseball would not be easy to gather the necessary data, but a baseball bat or baseball player would be suitable.) Students should then make the clip art 2 dist
