A comprehensive series of activities where students learn to identify, model, and solve systems of linear equations to find the 'better deal' in real-world scenarios.

Students practice translating real-world scenarios into linear equations, tables, and graphs using positive whole numbers. This lesson reinforces the relationship between initial fees (y-intercept) and rates of change (slope).

A lesson focused on adding and subtracting polynomials with a specific emphasis on the distributive property when handling subtraction and negative signs. Students will practice horizontal and vertical methods to combine like terms.

A geometry lesson exploring the mathematical challenges of representing a 3D sphere on a 2D plane through map projections, featuring a hands-on orange-peeling activity to demonstrate surface area distortion.

A geometry-focused exploration of map projections, exploring how surface area and spherical geometry lead to unavoidable distortion when flattening a 3D world into 2D maps. Students use the 'orange peel' method to visualize Gaussian curvature and distortion.

A comprehensive guide to mastering operations with rational expressions, including factoring foundations and step-by-step procedures for arithmetic operations.

A lesson exploring the mathematics of exponential growth and decay through real-world scenarios, focusing on formula mastery and percentage-to-decimal conversion.

A comprehensive 40-minute lesson on finding the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) using the ladder method, covering both numerical and algebraic expressions.
