DRIVER EDUCATION - ROAD TRIP PROJECT
This is a project that can be used in your driver education classroom. It will require research of miles between points, time tables, gasoline mileage of a chosen vehicle and budgeting a certain amount of given moey for the entire ROAD TRIP ! Have fun.

Investing in the Stock Market
This project was created for a consumer math class. It has the students selecting 3 stocks, and buying different amounts based on their budget (I chose budgets and had them draw from a hat). Students will then track the 3 stocks for a month (I have them back track dates on Yahoo! Finance's History tab), and then graphing their gains or losses. Students will then finish by summarizing their month.

Personal Budgeting Lesson
Cut out the salaries and jobs at the bottom and have students randomly draw from a hat. Using that salary, they follow the steps of budgeting for the month. (You may want to have them choose their family size before they draw the salary.) I usually have them complete an entire round before I have them draw out the good/bad issues from a separate hat.

Probability
This is a student product based assessment. This uses most of the Texas Teks of probability but allows students to use things that interest them. I plan to use this as an optional test grade to help boost student test scores.
The idea is for students to pick three in order to make a tic-tac-toe.
Teks included: 7.6 A,C,E,H,I
Simple, compound, theoretical, and experimental included

Analog and Digital "Paddle" printables PLUS Time Check
Simply copy, cut, laminate and glue onto a large popsicle stick or see if your local hardware store will donate paint sticks and you can provide students with a fun and easy way (Not to mention saving the teacher LOTS of money), to learn how to tell time. Also included is a time check. During the day the teacher can check that students can read an analog or digital clock, and write the time correctly to the hour and half-hour and at the end of the week, do a raffle to see who wrote the times cor

Learning the Stock Market
Learn about the stock market and how to invest in stock. Students will need to select stocks to follow and then determine if they made or lost money. This unit has vocabulary, KWL, Brainstorming activity, and Stock Challenge to simulate the buying and selling of stock.

Trouble with Probability
Students will use the popper board game to study the probability of a fair dice.They will play a (speed-up) version of the classic board game to determine how many times each number of a die appears. They will calculate the percentage of occurrence of each number to determine if the die is fair. Follow up questions about how to change the probability of the die are also included as either homework or an extension of the activity.

Learning the Fundamentals of Area and Perimeter Virtual Lab
Using blocks on a grid students construct figures and determine the area and perimeter of their figures. After multiple tries students are tested by playing a game with six levels of complexity. This activity gives the student an awareness of the spatial nature of area and perimeter and the difference between the two.Directions are easy to follow with pictures and arrows so students can attempt the activity with minimal intervention.

Personal Consumer Math Savings Plan
This activity helps students see the difference in saving different amounts of money at over similar time periods. Most students we talk with are very nearsighted when saving money, and this will help them see how fast savings add up over the course of several weeks to a year. It will also help students create goals in saving to help purchase a "big ticket item." Students have different tables to enter their weekly savings, and after they complete they will graph the savings on a unlabeled graph

Simulation Intro Activity for AP Statistics (or lower)
This activity can be used to kick-off a statistics course or used later when introducing simulation as part of a probability unit. The theme is that names were randomly drawn out of a hat to see which students will have their paintings included in an art show. When a significant amount of females were selected, some of the males cried discrimination! So this problem has students discuss different ways to carry out a simulation (use a deck of cards, a random number generator, or a table of ran
