Algebra Marketing Plan PBL | project based learning | real world Math
This Project Based Learning activity will help Algebra 1 students practice setting up and solving systems of linear equations within a real world context. As they take on the role of an entrepreneur, they will write equations, plot coordinate points, graph equations, analyze data, and draw conclusions. This can be used as a group project or individual project and would work great for an end of unit review. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

100 Add-On Questions for The Fermi Project, By Far My Most Popular Resource
The Fermi Project is as much fun for teachers as it is for those students that embrace it. Fermi questions are ridiculous math-based questions to which nobody really wants to know the answer, but that's half of their charm. The other half is that this is a REALLY good skill to teach our students. It requires problem solving skills, critical thinking skills, research skills, but overall the major skill therein is making educated guesses and how we learn to truly make them EDUCATED guesses.

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.
