Algebra 1 End of the Year Project
This is a great project idea to connect topics in Algebra 1 with the real world. In the past, I have used this project as something to be presented after End of Course Exams. The students will take an Algebra 1 topic of their choice and relate to something in the real world. I have had students come back with projects on the following: Reading Music (functions with scales); Catering (conversions with recipes); Real Estate (multiple topics); Statistics of various activities or surveys (Graphs

Solving Equations and Inequalities Activity (Connect the Dots)
This is an activity to help students understand solving Equations and Inequalities. The front side of the activity has a variety of problems that, when solved correctly, tell which dots to connect in order to create a hidden picture on the back! Just in case you are wondering, yes, that is in fact Harry Potter! Students enjoy trying to figure out what picture is hidden behind all the math; this is a great puzzle activity and a great “thinker!”

Prime Factorization (or Factor Tree)
This activity / assessment has 16 questions where the student fills in the factor tree. It is a great way to start the kids thinking about factoring polynomials. it will also tell you who knows their multiplication tables.
The students who could do these were able to factor more easily and were more likely to be able to apply it to factoring polynomials like
x^2 + 10x +21
(x+3)(x+7)
I put in an answer key too so you could leave this with a substitute teacher :-)

Starting A Small Business Project
This project is designed for 7th-8th graders who have learned how to find unit rate, percents, proportions, and solve/write equations.
I used this activity in a 7th grade honors math class at the end of the year. The students loved this activity! Students felt so proud when making their items and designing their business. When each student brought in their items to sell, it was very neat to see a different side of each student.
Students can be creative as to what they want to sell.
