Both Kathryn and Erin were selected as Golden Apple Scholars in their preservice years of teaching. As Golden Apple Scholars, Kathryn and Erin spent their summer teaching in inner-city Chicago schools while obtaining 180 hours of professional development each summer. They are both getting ready to begin their fourth year of teaching high school mathematics and business. Kathryn recently obtained her masters in Secondary Mathematics with hopes to teach both college and high school math. Erin recently obtained her masters in Business Administration in order to obtain a second certificate in business. This allows her to teach both math and business at the high school level and business level college level.

Triangle Proportionality Theorem Relay Race
Pair students into groups of four. Each person will start with a paper and complete the first problem. After completing the first problem, they will pass their paper to the left and complete the second problem using information from the first problem. This process will repeat until all four problems on the four different papers are completed. Students should check the work on their partners to ensure correct answers at the end of the activity.

Rotations CSI
The following activity is similar to the game Clue. Students will receive ten clues by answering ten problems correctly. At the end of the packet, the students should know who, with what, and where the crime happened. These are editable so that you can make it school specific. There are 7 teachers and the name of your school that will need to be entered. There are instructions for doing this quickly at the bottom of the document. The kids LOVE these!

Parallel, Perpendicular, or Neither Cart Sort with Word Scramble
Students will be given a set of cards with linear equations on them. Students will have to sort them based on whether the two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Some of the lines need to be solved for y. Once the are sorted, students will flip them over and do the word scramble. Each group represents one word. After unscrambling the words, they will fill in the blanks to a quote.

Central and Inscribed Angles Partner Worksheet
This worksheet covers central and inscribed angles in/on a circle. It is editable. Partner students up in groups of two. One student will work on the first column and the other will work on the second column. Each student will solve the problems in their column. While their problems are different, their solutions will be the same. This allows them to check their own understanding and work through mistakes together.

Solving Absolute Value Equations Partner Worksheet
Each partner will solve the absolute value equation located in their column. When each partner has found their solutions, place the solutions in the middle three columns of table. If solved correctly, there will be one "shared" solution - to be placed in the middle section of the table.

Right Triangle Trigonometry Partner Worksheet
Partner students up in groups of two. We usually provide two worksheets so that each person has a separate worksheet to write on. Partner A will work on the problems in the left-hand column. Partner B will work on the problems in the right-hand problem. Each column has different problems but the same solutions. This allows for students to check whether they have the correct answer. If not, they have to work with their partner to find the mistake.

Odd-One-Out: Slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept
With this worksheet, the students will compare three different pieces of information (ex: graph, slope, equation, points, intercepts, etc). After analyzing the information, they will determine the criteria to make one of the problems the odd one out. For each problem multiple criteria can be used.

Volume and Surface Area Around the Room
Different problems will be hung around the room. The answer to the problem the students choose to solve will be in the upper left hand corner of another problem. Students will then do the problem that is on the card with their answer to the previous problem. They will continue around the room until they end up back in the same spot they started. This around the room is lengthy so you may want to plan for 2 class periods or just assign them a portion of the problems. Key is attached. When checkin

Classifying Parallelograms Wheel
Students will be paired into groups of two. Each pair will have a set of clothespins and a legend that correspond to the wheel. (The legend tells you what to write on the clothespins) The students will solve the different problems by determining whether or not the figure is a parallelogram and the reason. Students will then match the correct clothespin by placing it on the wheel. Check with the key that is included.

Slopes of Parallel & Perpendicular Lines (Writing Equations) Stickers
Students are given a worksheet with problems on it. Each problem has the students write an equation parallel and an equation perpendicular to to the problem described. The students then solve for the equation. Once students have calculated the equations, the students will stick the labels in the corresponding box. There are two versions. ID: 2 is a little more challenging than ID: 1.

Symmetry Wheel Activity
•Students will be paired into groups of two. •Each pair will have a set of clothespins and a legend that correspond to the wheel. (The legend tells you what to write on the clothespins) •The students will solve the different problems by determining whether or not the figure has rotational/line symmetry and find the number of lines of symmetry/angle of rotation. Students will then match the correct clothespin by placing it on the wheel.

Dilation Stickers
Students are given a worksheet with ten problems on it. Each problem has the students dilate a triangle based off of specific point values and a scale factor. The students then find the new points of the dilation. Once students have calculated the new points, the students will stick the labels in the corresponding box. There is something about the "stickers" (labels) that the students do really enjoy!

Reflections Partner Worksheet
This worksheet covers reflections over the x-axis, y-axis, and over the line y=x. It is editable. Partner students up in groups of two. One student will be partner A and the other will be partner B. Each will reflect the given points across the given line of reflection. Partner A and partner B should share one common point. Write the common point in the middle column.

Teaching style
Both Erin and Kathryn believe in the "I do, we do, you do" style of teaching. On a typical day, their lessons include a warm up, lecture, pair/group activity, check for understanding, and a short homework assignment will be given. Kathryn teaches block schedule (85 minute periods) while Erin teaches traditional schedule (50 minute periods).
