Human Body Proportions Lab Overview (To be used with my lab worksheet.)
This detailed lesson overview guides you through my other Human Body Proportions Lab that is available on TPT. This is one of my personal favorites of the entire teaching year! I have spent several years perfecting it and condensing it into a manageable lesson. Enjoy!Why will your students like this lab?This is a hands-on activity where students can get out of their seats and work with a partner. They seem to be fascinated by figuring out their own body measurements and it lab is a great way

Hands-On Understanding of Square Roots: Cubes & Making Squares
This simple, hands-on activity has students count out a given number of unit cubes and then asks them to build a square from the cubes. Then, they record the length of the square. Students repeat this process with different numbers of cubes and record the information in a graph and a table. They also are asked to write a rule to describe the relationship between the number of cubes and the length of the square.
I've found that this activity helps students better understand the idea of the sq

Density & Percent Error Quick Labs
Enjoy using these 2 quick labs to practice measurement skills, density calculations, and percent error any time throughout the year. In the density lab, students are asked to determine the density of aluminum by measuring the dimensions and mass of sheets of aluminum foil. In the index card lab, students calculate the area and perimeter of an index card, and determine their percent error based on the provided dimensions. Color and B&W versions included.These are considered quick labs because

Quadratic Grapher
Quadratic Grapher MS Excel Spreadsheet graphs up to 2 quadratic equations / functions at a time. It is color coded so it is easy to see which parabola corresponds to which equation.
It also displays 10 points. The x values can be changed to your liking.
It also finds the points of intersection between the two parabolas. This is useful for solving a system of two quadratic equations. It could probably even solve a system of two equations that has one quadratic and linear equation. Just inp

Linear Grapher
Linear Grapher Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet that allows you to graph up to 3 lines at a time. The lines are color coded with the equations, so you will know which line corresponds to which equation.
It also displays 10 points for each equation. The x values for these points can be adjusted.
It also finds the points of intersection for every pair of lines. This is helpful for system of equations.
It also has a seperate application built into the spreadsheet for finding the equation of a line

LAB: Linear Transformations
Students explore how a linear function changes (both graphically and algebraically) through observation. I highly recommend working through the first example as a class - or a similar example. But the best discussions happen when students work in groups and collaborate their hypotheses and conclusions.Feel free to make edits to adapt it to your needs! And as always, I would appreciate any feedback or ways to improve the lesson. Thank you!
