Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry
This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students dr

Backyard Project - Perimeter, Area, and Volume - Real World Applications
This project is the culmination of the perimeter, area, volume unit. It can be used as a task for the Common Core, or real world application of the measurement unit. Students estimate the cost to build a backyard, with a swimming pool, deck, shed, playset area, garden, and brick walkway. Using the calculations and costs associated with purchasing materials needed to construct the different parts, students will generate the total cost of the project, without labor. With the dimensions provide

Vectors Lab (Force Table) | Physics
This is not a traditional Force Vector Lab. It has a lot more emphasis on inquiry-based learning opposed to the classical labs which have lots of directions to follow and information to plug in. This lab is great because there are an infinite number of ways to solve each problem/scenario. Students will need to be creative and think for themselves in order to complete this lab.

Geometry:Concurrent Points GeoGebra Activity - Circumcenter & Incenter -w/ Key
Tired of teaching the same boring lessons on Circumcenter and Incenter? After years of using the standard book resources, I decided to create this activity that demonstrates some real-life applications of these concurrent points. This product includes 9 tasks (with complete answer key and screen shots of graphics). Each task will ask students to find a real life circumcenter or incenter. (While this product did not include any centroid or orthocenter problems, I left those options on the top

Angle & Line Relationships PowerPoint Lesson
This 40-page editable PowerPoint lesson covers all the basics, plus more. It starts out by reviewing angles and the four types – acute, right, obtuse, and straight before moving onto adjacent, vertical, complementary, and supplementary angles and lines. Students then use that knowledge to solve for the missing measure. Students should be familiar with solving equations prior to this lesson.After mastering lines and angles, the lesson moves to transversals, focusing on the eight angles formed

High School Halloween Lesson!!!---Pumpkin Pi Math Lab
BEST HALLOWEEN MATH LESSON!I can hardly put this lesson into words! It is that good! I created this lesson years ago, and it evolves year after year. This lesson takes an investigative approach to math! Students work in groups to take measurements of pumpkins and hypothesize about the volume. The STEM investigation has students reason through the value of Pi and what the ratio represents. The lesson concludes with a discussion and conclusion page allowing students to make sense of volume and the

Geometry - Graphing Special Lines-Parallel and Perpendicular-Two Investigations
This activity contains two investigations. First Investigation:• On the graph provided, students graph each of the pairs of points and draw a line through the pair of points.• The students study the two lines and conjecture that the two lines are parallel.• Then the students find the slope of the two given lines to notice that when the lines were parallel the slope of the two lines are equal.• Students repeat these three steps with four more points. • After students know that two parallel lines

The intent of our Mathnerdy columns is to provide teachers and students with quick review problems in a game-like format. Working quickly under pressure is an actuality on Proficiency Tests, ACTs and SATs. Our Mathnerdy columns afford timed responses, in a fun and non-threatening atmosphere, that put a little pressure on the student. We have ten sets of 20 “Mathnerdy” columns, for fifth grade students through Calculus, so our “Mathnerdys” review many, many topics at varying levels of difficulty.

Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Lab: Using the Angles
This forensic science lab gives students an opportunity to learn how to find the source of blood spatters. Using a set of spatters of known size, the students will measure the width and length of each spatter, calculate the sine and then determine the angle of impact. They will use strings, raised to those angles, to find the point of convergence, which indicates where the source of blood was located.
This includes photos of the setup, the blood spatters themselves, student instructions and da
