A 9th-grade algebra lesson focusing on applying the quadratic formula to real-world projectile motion. Students will calculate the time a kicked ball spends in the air before hitting the ground by solving for the zeros of a quadratic equation.
A targeted remediation lesson designed to help high school algebra students master multi-step linear equations involving distribution, combining like terms, and variables on both sides. Features a visual flowchart, scaffolded guided practice, error analysis, and targeted practice problems.
A high school math skills intervention lesson focusing on multi-step linear equations, variable isolation, and proportional reasoning. Includes 16 targeted task cards, a student recording sheet, and a teacher intervention guide.
A collection of daily warm-up activities designed to build algebraic fluency. Over five days, students tackle integer operations, one-step equations, combining like terms, and scaffolded two-step equations to prepare for algebraic mastery.
A comprehensive, real-world math exam and answer key assessing student mastery of addition, division, percentage-to-decimal conversions, and multi-step word problems through grocery shopping, vocational wages, and budgeting scenarios.
Students apply their mathematical knowledge to their own inventions. They calculate their product costs, set their retail price, determine their company valuation, and write the math portion of their pitch speech.
Students tackle company valuations, percentage offers, and equity calculations. They learn the math behind asking for investment and determining what percentage of their company to sell.
Students master unit rates, production costs, retail pricing, and profit margin percentages. They learn how to analyze whether an invention is financially viable on a unit level.
An Algebra 1 lesson introducing projectile motion through the lens of launching rockets. Students learn to identify key features of quadratic graphs—specifically the vertex as maximum height and x-intercepts as landing times—and evaluate quadratic functions to find heights at specific seconds.
A hands-on geometry lesson where students head outdoors to measure shadows and use the Pythagorean theorem and geometric ratios to calculate the height of school structures. Includes a lesson plan, slide deck, outdoor activity guide, and reflection journal.
A hands-on geometry lesson exploring how scaling the linear dimensions of 3D solids by a scale factor k impacts their total surface area (by k²) and volume (by k³). Features interactive model-scaling examples, a vocabulary challenge, and guided practice.
A rigorous STEM project combining structural engineering with advanced mathematics. Students design, budget, build, and test spaghetti bridges using ratios, proportions, cost-efficiency metrics, quadratic modeling, and catenary curves.
An 8th-grade Algebra lesson introducing exponential growth. Students investigate linear vs. exponential growth models by examining the tragic 1924 history of Calvin Coolidge Jr.'s fatal bacterial infection and how the exponential growth of Penicillium mold led to the discovery of life-saving penicillin.
An assessment aligned with ACT CCRS WME 402 focusing on two-step and three-step word problems involving fractions and percents. Students solve practical business and kitchen problems for a boutique bakery.
A structured math lesson focused on functional real-world math skills, covering decimals, money, multi-digit operations, percentages (10% and 50%), and word problem solving. Includes a 3-page study packet, a visual anchor chart reference sheet, and a complete teacher guide.
A complete set of high-contrast, professional binder organization kits for Economics, Business Mathematics, Algebra, and Personal Finance. Each kit contains a master index cover page, table of contents, customizable assignment logs, and printable color-coded divider tabs with matching spine inserts.
An applied geometry and packaging design project where students calculate surface area, volume, and sketch blueprints for product packaging.
A comprehensive unit introducing the fundamental building blocks of geometry: points, lines, planes, segment addition, distance/midpoint formulas, angle addition, and basic angle relationships. Includes multi-day guided notes and teacher resources.
A comprehensive geometry unit review lesson covering transformations, angle relationships, the distance formula, and triangle congruence criteria. This lesson provides students with structured practice and self-contained explanations to solidify basic identification and direct application of these core geometric principles.
An introductory algebra lesson on solving multi-step equations with variables on both sides. Students use the visual metaphor of a cosmic balance scale to perform operations simultaneously on both sides, working toward isolating the unknown variable.
A complete instructional lesson on solving multi-step equations in Algebra 1, utilizing a 'Top-Secret Case File' theme. It includes briefing slides, a structured student case-file worksheet, and a detailed answer key.
