This activity is sort of like a lab for younger students in math class. In this activity students collaborate to measure large, circular and square shaped objects around them and determine the approximate values of pi and the square root of 2. It gives them meaningful practice in making measurements, reporting and recording numbers, and using calculators.

This is a handout which can be given to student as a step by step "manual" for factoring quadratics with the decomposition method. I usually give it to them with the step by step example on one side of the page and the factoring flow chart on the back of the page. My students have really appreciated having this in front of the them when they are first learning how to factor quadratic polynomials.

This is a fun way to introduce or review fractions. It describes the steps for the fundamental operations of fractions including common denominators, multiplicationa dn division, reducing fractions, converting fractions into decimals and vice versa, and changing between improper and mixed fraction form. Dress up like a wizard to enhance the experience.
