Math Career Assignment with Directions, Website Links and a Grading Rubric
Looking for a new assignment for one of your math classes? I have created this assignment in an attempt to have students become more passionate about math and to see a connection to the real world. In short, this assignment requires students to create a 1-page fact-sheet or Power Point presentation on a particular math career. (51 Printable careers are included) Each student in the class completes their own report and then reports back to the class on their findings. When I am done with all o
Astronomy Lesson: Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion with MATH
This 2 page worksheet with complete teacher's answer key makes it easy to integrate math into your astronomy lesson. Students put Kepler's Laws into their own words and apply simple formulas to given values for the 8 planets to test his 3rd law of planetary motion. Then, they are asked to analyze how accurate his 3rd law is mathematically. The second page includes research on 3 dwarf planets and asks students to test Kepler's 3rd law using the data they find online for these celestial bodies.

8th Grade Science and Math Career Project
This lesson is designed for 8th grade students to do a career project. It combines science and math. It requires students to make a 3-5 minute presentation to the class. There are a lot of details in this document regarding a grading rubric. My students did a high quality job on this assignment and I think it was particularly due to the quality of the details in the descriptions. Although I wrote this assignment for 8th graders it is appropriate for students in grades 6-12.

Math, Read, Write, Debate, Lesson {Editable} - Middle School, High School
★ Engage Math Students in a Read, Write, & Research project that they Debate! ★ This lesson brings Language Arts, Collaboration and Math together.
This was a very successful lesson in my class. Students who did not care much for math, yet, were excellent writers enjoyed the task of researching and writing. It also assisted students good in math but weak in some writing skills to improve their research and writing.
This is a lesson for students to write a 'paper' (page, paragraph, etc)
MATH-ITECTURE PROJECT - Having Students Recreate Famous World Structures
**THIS PROJECT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A 25-MINUTE VIDEO THAT ADVERTISES / DISPLAYS / HYPES THE PROJECT, ALONG WITH INTERVIEWS BY THE STUDENTS WHO CREATED THEIR PROJECTS (with hints, insight and suggestions).[Directly from the rubric sheet handed to students beforehand:] "MISSION: Greetings MATH-itect! Your goal is to create a 3-D model or poster of a historic building or any type of structure, and identify the various geometric shapes. In addition, you must also find the Area of one of your geometric
Algebra Project: Different, Fun Topics
This is a project that has students research different aspects of the mathematical world. They can either work as individuals or in pairs as they research topics such as Kaprekar's constant, the Konigsberg Bridge, the Golden Ratio, Pi, Pascal's Triangle, Euler Characteristics, Fibonacci Sequence, and Mind-Reading Tricks. The project has the students creating a paper and a visual aid for a presentation. The students will get practice researching, find interest in different math topics, and will

College Simple Interest and Balance with a Compound Interest option.
This is a great REAL LIFE math problem, that I sure as heck wish I did prior to college. Students will choose colleges and determine the interest that accrues with student loans.
Students will decide what college major they want to pursue. Then they will research schools that have that major and will decide on one to attend. They will research and answer questions about that school, including cost of attendance. From there, they will be given a problem about a student loan and will figure out th

Beginners Guide to the Line of Best Fit
This is a simple one page template, that allows to students (or you) to
-insert data
-graph
-find the slope
-write the equation in point slope form
-convert the equation to slope intercept form
I hope this helps your students write the line of best fit using real world data.
Thank you in advance for your feedback. It is appreciated!

In this activity, the students will find two comparable businesses, payment plans, etc. to research. They will take the information and create a linear equation, a table, and then graph both functions to compare and contrast the data. The students will then create a problem where the "x" value needs to be found when given the y value and vice versa. They will then create a solve a word problem. The last thing the students will be asked to do is discuss how systems of equations can be used in

This is a partner activity worksheet with 6 questions and an enrichment section for faster working students to help explore linear functions.
This is meant as an exploration to introduce linear functions with students having no knowledge on the subject. The students must examine definitions, graphs, and equations using devices to access that internet. Graphing calculators help as well.
Then students work on an application problem to bring this information together.

This product came about from an idea I heard about in a professional development over the summer. I have often wanted to know exactly what my students were "supposed" to know when they came to my class, but I also wanted to make sure that I didn't cover something that would presented in upcoming grades. When I can't find what I want, I often make it myself.
