You can ask Siri on an iPhone “What planes are flying over me?” and she will tell you exactly that. But exactly how far out of a radius does Siri report planes? This activity will help you and your students use trigonometry and angles of elevation and depression find out! Applications include the use of tangent AND cosine!
There are several versions of this activity all in one download! The first version is a printable activity where the data is provided and a map is provided. The second a
For years I struggled with 3 things regarding managing assessments: streamlining the look, keeping track of answer keys, and pulling old questions/answers to include on a cumulative assessment. This template solves ALL of those problems!
For this template, I have created a table where the question number, question, and answer all have their own column. Each question has its own row. If I need more or less questions, I just add or delete rows as necessary (right click in a cell and insert/del
In this investigation, students will use raw spaghetti and mini marshmallows to discover how the surface area and volume of a prism relate to the surface area and volume of the respective oblique prism. Students will be asked to create a rectangular prism using marshmallows to connect the vertices. Using a ruler, they will measure the dimensions of the prism, calculate and record the surface area and volume. Then they will make their prism into an OBLIQUE prism by giving it a slight push to t

This activity helps students and parents understand what resources are available when they log into the Holt Algebra 1, Geometry, & Algebra 2 Textbook Online book 2008 version. This activity should be given after the teacher assigns username and passwords to students. A parent signature line is also included to encourage a conversation between parent and student as to the resources available. After completing this activity, students have a much greater understanding of what tools
Students create a flip book using Power Point to discover and/or apply properties of geometric transformations. The student handout provides detailed instructions on how to create the flip book which includes using the “duplicate slide” feature in Power Point. Students are required* to create a minimum of 10 slides with 4 different movements. Students are given the opportunity to choose what type of movements they use within given parameters. This choice provides the opportunity for great di
Give students a transparent tool to help them label triangles!
Students often have trouble labeling parts (such as x, 2x, a, b, c, opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse, etc) of triangles for Special Triangles, Pythagorean Theorem, and Trigonometry. To help my students do this correctly, I give each student a labeled triangle printed on transparency film.
Then when students are working on one of these types of problems, they line up their transparency with the problem on their paper. They line up
This card game is based on the traditional game "I have... Who has..." Topics included in this 20 card set are add, subtract, multiply, divide and order integers as well as 1-step equations. Teacher notes and extension activities are provided.
How to play:
Hand out a card to each student. Some students may need to have 2 depending upon how many in a set. It is important to use all the cards in a set.
Choose a student to go first, and have her read her problem on the “who has” part of the car
Help your students get organized for their semester exams with this is a “3 for 1” deal! In this document you get 3 different types of study guide templates for students to use. These have been very effective in my own high school classroom, but they can be applied to any classroom that has a cumulative test or exam. In my own classroom I present all 3 templates to students, then I allow them to choose which one(s) they would like to use. Students enjoy the opportunity to personalize and they
Each day is represented by its own text box, so it is really easy to switch days around. Making days movable is extremely helpful in response to needed adjustments due to snow days, assemblies, unexpected absence, students needing an extra day, etc. By typing lesson plans into this template, you are able to copy/paste and adjust from last year. You can also keep easier track of helpful links by putting the hyperlink directly into the “materials” section.

We have heard the question so many times in our teaching career: “Why do I have to learn this stuff? I’m never going to use it in my life.” This thought provoking PowerPoint gives students the opportunity to think about some possible situations where they may use math in their lives and answer this ever common question.

Help students figure out what to do next when solving area problems. This graphic organizer gives students a step by step process for solving area and it gives them space within the organizer to solve these problems. This document is set up as a template so teachers can have students fill in with whatever problems relate to the specific classroom. Students should write each step of their process next in the space provided next to the step description.

This inquiry activity is a fun way to discover the various properties of rotations and reflections. Students and or the teacher will take reflection pictures of students using an iOS device and the Photo Booth App. (This app usually comes standard on iOS devices.) Students will then import these photos into the provided PowerPoint and onto slides with a coordinate plane. It is through these slides, that students will begin to discover the effect transformations have on a set of coordinates. I
I have been teaching HS math since 2001. I have a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Math Ed and a Master's Degree in Technology in the Classroom.
Teaching style
My philosophy of teaching is to find different ways for students to learn. I believe it is important to show students that math does apply to the "real world" and that yes, indeed, math can be fun.
