Description
The "Algebra Wage Project" aims to help students understand minimum wage, living wage, and their impact on pay over time. It involves researching current federal and local minimum wages, living wage data, and potential future career wages. Students will create tables, write linear equations, and graph the relationships between days worked and pay for minimum wage, living wage, and potential future career wages, while also analyzing the pros and cons of increasing the minimum wage.
*Project is a editable to fit teacher needs
When the project is done, a great concluding activity would be to draft a letter as a class and send it to a local or state representative!

CCSS6.SP.B.5c
Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
CCSS6.EE.A.2
Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
CCSS8.EE.B.6
Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation 𝘺 = 𝘮𝘹 for a line through the origin and the equation 𝘺 = 𝘮𝘹 + 𝘣 for a line intercepting the vertical axis at 𝘣.
CCSS8.EE.C.7b
Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.
CCSS6.RP.A.3
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
