21st Century Math Projects by Topic Chart
I have experimented with different ways to make my 21st Century Math Projects more searchable and clear. Although a title like "Cost of Smoking" is descriptive of the interdisciplinary content, it isn't clear what topics are being taught. I have tried to make a Common Core alignment chart, but now with well over 100 projects that became too much to see visually. I have mapped each project to the CCSS on the TPT.

Zeek the Alien Friend- 8th Grade Math End of the Year Project
This project was created to be an end of the year project that covers the majority of eighth grade topics as a review. It is usually assigned after state testing for the last few weeks of school, allowing yourself a few days to grade them before grades are due. The students seem to enjoy the story of meeting an alien and teaching him math as they experience things together in real life. The story can be adjusted to include places in your town. The story right now is based in San Marcos, CA. You

Systems of Equations
This activity applies a real life example of systems of equations. It proposes the question "Which restaurant would you eat at?". Students are given information about two different restaurants. They need to make predictions, write 2 linear equations, graph the linear equations, state the point of intersection (and explain what the intersection means), verify algebraically the point of intersection, and finally decide which restaurant they would eat at using all of the data from the activity.

Silence the Violence -- International Data Analysis - 21st Century Math Project
Silence the Violence intends to take a closer look at gun violence throughout the world. Is there a correlation between gun ownership and gun violence? While this is on the news, and people argue back and forth, unfortunately there are not a lot of statistics cited.I built this project through the use of correlations of authentic international data. I have included content for either middle school (plotting and calculating) or high school (calculating correlation with summations). The results ar

Pythagorean Theorem Instagram Project
***This project was NOT my idea, but compiled by ideas that various teachers have posted online!!!!!!!***Rather than test my students on Pythagorean Theorem, I decided that students can use something they know all about - Instagram - to showcase their understanding.Suggestion for extending: Include a requirement for students to plot their right triangle on a coordinate plane and prove the distance formula!Once students have submitted their projects, make a wall to display Pythagoras' posts!
Similarity Project
Similarity refers to figures that are the same size and same shape. We can use proportions and similar figures to predict the height of objects in photographs. For this mini project, you are to take a digital picture of yourself standing next to a TALL object. (It is preferable that you take the picture next to something you can NOT measure the height of.) Then you will print your picture and use it to PREDICT how tall your object is. To do this, think about the properties we have used in c

Scatterplot Project Using Real Data
Students are asked to find an example of time-series data in which the dependent variable (y) varies linearly with time (X). The data should have a strong positive or negative correlation. Students will be asked to:
Make a scatter plot of the data.
Use a straight edge to draw a line of best fit.
Find the equation of the line where they must show work for how they determined this.
Use their equation to predict the value of the variable in 2012 and 2018.
