Carnival Probability Project
A project that feels like a game!
Students must create their own game, using probability to ensure THEY are favored to win....much like the house in a casino. Students can make games involving dice, spinners, cards, "fishing" ducks out of a pond, etc.
Assessed skills include: fundamental counting principal, theoretical probability, experimental probability, independent events, dependent events, creativity, writing, presentation. *Students must already know basic probability to complete this

Interactive Population Ecology PowerPoint
This PowerPoint covers how scientists predict population size using the Capture-Recapture method.
It's perfect for:
1. Incorporating a little math into a biology class.
2. Showing students how real-life problems can be solved using science.
3. Introducing population prediction calculations when covering ecology.
4. Or, to use as an accompaniment to my "Predicting Population Size" lesson plan in which students capture and mark plastic egg "creatures" to see if math formulas really do work in the

Perimeter and Area Real World Task
This task asks students to pretend they have been hired by a home improvement company to solve two problems for them. The first job requires students to examine the relationship between perimeter and area to help "Mr. Baker" design his garden. The second job focuses students on applying their understanding of area to help a family tile their kitchen. Let me know if you like it and I will upload some more tasks.

Farming Simulation Math Project
I created this project to used with my 4th grade highly-gifted class. It incorporates multiplication, division, decimals, money management, and area into a complex and engaging simulation project. Students work with a group to purchase fields and seeds to plant each "year". They then roll the dice to determine what the weather will be like that year and how it will affect their crop growth. Then, they calculate their profit by "selling" the crops that made it through the year. They purchase

This 18-slide PowerPoint presentation uses word problems to explore the role of multiples in solving them. It begins with defining a multiple before being introduced to problems involving common multiples. In the first problem you're looking for several common multiples over a period of time. The second problem is looking for the next time an events occur simultaneously (LCM). After summarization there is a problem students can work along with solution so they can check their work.

Visual Substitution for a System of Equations
This powerpoint uses pictures of apples and bananas to represent a real-world system of equations. Using click-by-click animation, students can see how one apple can be replaced with three bananas because they are of equal value. This series of slides then lays the ground work for students to move from pictorial equations to symbolic equations using number and variables.

Problem Solving Using the "Draw a Picture" Strategy
This PowerPoint presentation introduces the idea of how to use the "draw a picture" strategy in math. This presentation can be approached in two ways:
1) Show the entire presentation so students can see how the "draw a picture" strategy can be used to find the answer to a problem solving question.
2) Show the first slide and give students the opportunity to try and solve it themselves before showing the answer.
It is a two-part problem solving question with the first part being relatively
