Super Math

Students will need a mirror and tape measure to find the indirect measurement using similarity and proportions of heights outside of the school. A great end of the year activity to get students questioning and finding measurements themselves.

I have used this project for a few years now. The writing activity is scaffolded for use with all students and anyone can write. For students who are ready, the example problem can be removed, or try using it in a Google Doc for a class group project to edit and comment about the paragraph proof.

Using processes to write and evaluate linear inequalities, this problem uses a serious truancy problem to solve and find a student's progress in paying a fine. For use with any student's teaching about what can happen when you have a change in your attitude.
