Back to School Algebra Project
Do your students know what Algebra is??This is a project idea I use at the beginning of the year with Algebra 1 students. The goal of the project is to get them thinking about, researching and dabbling in what it means to be studying Algebra. The student creates a poster defining Algebra and decorates it with concepts and symbols that they will be learning this year. I use this project as extra credit in the first grading period. It is easy to complete and lets them use their creativity and arti

Project: Systems of Linear Equations (What's the Better Value?)
In this project, students will choose between three real-life scenarios. Each scenario involves two purchase options, and students will use systems of linear equations to decide what to buy. Scenario 1 involves planning a vacation, scenario 2 involves a cell phone plan, and scenario 3 involves buying a new car. Students must research actual prices to complete this project. They will support their choice using a system of equations, and they must demonstrate multiple solution strategies. A r

Compare Linear and Exponential Functions - Real World Activity
Compare linear and exponential functions with a real-world exponential activity studying US history and state population data! A great cross-curricular activity that gets kids to connect with the mathematics and engage in meaningful classroom discussion.How it works: To begin this activity, students interact with the process and benefits of collecting state population data. This provides a "low entry point" and easy buy in for students, without too much technical math. The students then sort the

Discovering the Parts of Exponential Functions
This is a student-centered discovery activity (or warm-up) to introduce exponential functions in the form f(x) = a(b)^(x-h)+k. Using Desmos.com or a graphing calculator, students will determine what the role of a, b, h, and k are in an exponential function. Then, they will type 3 examples of exponential functions into Desmos.com or a graphing calculator and find the y-intercept, domain, range, and determine the horizontal line in which the graph does not go below. This leads up to the idea of an

Discovering Properties of Logarithms
This is a student-centered discovery activity (or warm-up) to introduce the properties of logarithmic functions. Using a calculator, students will fill in a table with the values for designated logarithms. They will keep referring back to this original table. For example, when discovering the product rule, students are prompted to type log 2 + log 3 in their calculator. They will write down the answer as a decimal and then match it to the original table. Students look for patterns as they establ

Systems of Equations - Comparing Phone Plans Project
Students are guided through a phone comparison. Then students will research plans and compare them in groups. This activity also includes 4 different homework problems similar to the phone comparison but related to other fields.
This project can be performed in any class studying solving systems of equations.
In the past, I have had the groups present their findings on a third day.

Discovering The Definition of a Function (and notes!)
This is a discovery activity to introduce the definition of a function through a vending machine. As a class or in small groups, students will add snacks into a vending machine. They will discuss the idea of the possibility of each input having one output; each input having more than out output; multiple inputs to have the same output, etc. I continue to refer back to the vending machine as we talk about the idea in terms of math in the notes.Please feel free to contact me if you would like an e

Discovering Transformations
This is a student-centered discovery activity (or warm-up) to introduce transformations in quadratic, absolute value, cubic, square root, and cubed root functions. Using Desmos, students will determine what the role of a, h, and k are for a quadratic function. I put a chart on the front page where the teacher can write the generic function f(x) = a (x - h) + k in the middle and then describe what a, h, and k do in the boxes above the middle one.

Discovering What is a Logarithm?
This is a student-centered discovery activity (or warm-up) to introduce logarithmic functions. Using the worksheet, students will determine patterns of 5 problems that are disguised in logarithmic form. Instead of writing the problem as log base 2 of 8 = 3, the problem is written as power base 2 of 8 = 3. Students establish the relationship of the numbers in exponential form. Then, they do 6 more problems in which parts are missing to reinforce that they see the pattern. Once patterns are establ

Mortgages, exponential growth and interest
Many homeowners try to pay more on their mortgage each month in the hopes that it will save them money in the long run. Is this an accurate belief? For this exercise, you will determine the minimum payment for different mortgage products. You will also decide whether it is worth paying early. Note this exercise will not address the possibility of late or early payments, tax breaks for making an extra payment every year and other variables. Some of those are addressed in the extension assignment
