Students compare graphs of quadratics with two, one, and zero x-intercepts to correlate visual features with algebraic results. The lesson introduces the concept that 'no real solutions' corresponds to parabolas that do not cross the x-axis.
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 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 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.
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.
A comprehensive review of the Geometry New York State Regents curriculum, focusing on proofs, transformations, similarity, trigonometry, and coordinate geometry.
A comprehensive review of the Algebra 1 New York State Next Generation Regents curriculum, focusing on linear, exponential, and quadratic functions, statistics, and algebraic procedures.
