Students explore the geometric relationship between secant lines and tangent lines using average rates of change over shrinking intervals. The lesson focuses on the transition from secant slopes to the instantaneous slope at a point.
A high-intensity, 120-minute math simulation. Students act as lead consultants, completing a high-speed skill warmup before selecting a professional sector (Music, Urban Planning, Rocket Science, or Sports Analytics) to solve a series of complex work orders.
Scaffolded practice activities ('Skill Missions') that review key concepts: linear equations, systems, sequences, lines of best fit, and factoring. These activities ensure students have the foundational skills needed for their final project.
A comprehensive, high-density single-page reference guide that displays all core mathematical models (Systems, Binomial Box Method, Trinomial Factoring, Sequences, Quadratics, and Scatter plots) to support consultants during the Career Summit.
A comprehensive review suite for the New York State Mathematics Regents exams, including Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2, featuring mastery blueprints, calculator strategies, and exam-taking tips.
A high-intensity, 2-hour math simulation where students act as lead consultants. They complete a scaffolded Skill Warmup before choosing one of four career paths (Music, Urban, Rocket, or Sports) to solve real-world "Work Orders" and delivering an Executive Pitch.
A comprehensive 6-page career simulation readiness packet covering systems of equations, polynomial multiplication (Box Method), factoring trinomials, arithmetic/geometric sequence telemetry, rocket trajectory vertices, and scatter plots. Scaffolded with clean workspaces, high-contrast visual grids, and certification sign-offs to prepare student consultants for the Career Summit.
