Persuading with Data: Using data bias to your advantage
The activity is designed as a follow-up to my Data Bias activity (posted for free). Student use what they learned about data bias to create data presentations (graphs, charts) that help prove their point. Multiple scenarios are given where students are trying to convince their parents that their grades/behavior aren't bad.
This activity helps students internalize the power of data bias and makes them more likely to look out for this bias in the real world. This makes for a really fun homew

GPS Simulation - Applications of Algebra and Geometry - Aligned with Numb3rs
Are you tired of hearing your students say "When would you ever use this!?" This lesson is a perfect way to silence their complaints!
I originally designed this lesson to be used after watching the episode "Convergence"of the CBS television series Numb3rs. I think every middle/HS teacher should own copies of this series. If you aren't familiar with the show, it is basically a crime show where the characters solve crimes with math. (Similar to CSI) You might be able to download free episodes

Bacterial and Viral Replication Lab
This lab requires you to have raw beans (any kind to model bacteria) and whiteboards for students to draw a family tree and write out generation numbers next to each bacterial generation. (You could also do this on paper.)This lab is a great way for students to simulate bacterial and viral reproduction. For the bacteria, students will model the number of bacteria in each generation starting with only one bacterium (represented by a bean). With each generation, students will watch as the family t

Interactive Online ELab Simulations Lab - Shopping Unit Rates Lab
In this FREE online interactive simulation provided by PhET, developed by the University of Colorado, students will explore unit rates through the process of buying goods. Students will explore how shopping uses unit rates to determine the price of various goods. Students will need a computer, tablet or IPad. These simulations were designed for IPad use. This handout goes directly with the Elab and contains directions on accessing the lab online as well as directions on how to complete the lab.

Ordered Pairs: Quadrants & Signs
This 16-slide PowerPoint presentation stresses quadrant location and the signs of the ordered pairs that fall into each particular quadrant. It assumes prior knowledge of plotting & identifying points in the coordinate plane. Examples lead students to try to first figure out on their own what a set of un-plotted order pairs have in common. The pairs will fall in the same quadrant and all x-coordinate signs will match as well as all y-coordinates matching. Students can take a 5-question quiz

Number Lines: Distance between Points
This 23-slide PowerPoint presentation is recommended as useful instruction before learning to calculate distance between points in a coordinate plane (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.C.8). It is meant for students who have already learned about absolute value, but have not learned about basic operations involving negative numbers yet (i.e. addition/subtraction). Students will learn how to calculate the distance between any two points on a number line using their absolute values. They will see that this s

Ordered Pairs: Sign Changes & Reflections
This 20-slide PowerPoint presentation tests and develops three rules involving reflections resulting from sign changes in an ordered pair. The three rules involve changing the x-coordinate sign only, changing the y-coordinate sign only, and changing both coordinate's signs. Thus the result is reflection across the y-axis, reflection across the x-axis, and reflection across the origin, respectively. Students are expected to have previous knowledge of plotting & identifying ordered pairs, iden

Statements of Inequality: Writing, Explaining & Interpreting
This 16-slide PowerPoint presentation uses a three-step process to compare different numbers. Writing a statement of inequality using the numbers an correct inequality symbol is the 1st step. Explaining in words what the statement of inequality means is the 2nd step. The 3rd step is to interpret the relative position of each number on a number line (both horizontal & vertical number lines are used). Positive & negative numbers are both used in examples.

The Coordinate Plane: Points in Two Dimensions
This 22-slide PowerPoint presentation serves as an introduction to the coordinate plane. It begins by defining a coordinate plane and explaining its uses. Then construction of the plane, its parts, and terminology are covered. The rest of the presentation explains and simulates how to plot ordered pairs and how to determine ordered pairs for points already plotted. Fractional values and coordinates of zero are included in the simulation as well. The content is based on Common Core standard CCSS.
