Christmas Math: "Christmas 2025" Career and Wage Project Using Linear Algebra
As a way to prepare my students for the upcoming final exam and connect them with some college and career plans, I created a project in which they can create a linear equation based on a job they choose from a list of options.
As a hook, students will write about a time they did not get what they want for Christmas. Then they will have the opportunity to describe their ideal Christmas in 2025. I have suggested a life with family, single and traveling, etc. Students will then estimate how much s

The next year, I was able to run one of my classes without printing any paper and I was driving a Mercedes fueled by used vegetable oil.

Simple Life Web Search
Some people make a choice to live a simpler life. Sometimes, the rest of us look at them as oddballs. This assignment, which was created a long time ago, was also kind of an oddball, since I could not find a place for it for every year. When I revised it, several links had to be updated, and some of the questions had to be changed to reflect how the world had changed.

Cross Curricular Linear Relationships + Science PBL Lesson
Kids use science tools, math equations, and prior knowledge to see how math can help real people come to conclusions. This video is very hands on. It requires a water measuring device, a dropper, access to computers and headphones, and an open mind. This took one 90 minute period for my algebra 1 students to complete. Students watch a video of water dropping and use that to ultimately determine how much water is wasted over time.
