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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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.

This design brief could be used as a general design challenge or as a discrepant event for introducing the concept of inertia and Newton’s laws. In any case, students will need to explore the rolling characteristics of each of the cans of soup as well as the other variables that affect their relative speeds. Given the mathematics background of the students, the formula V =d/t could be used to compute the speed of each can (V = velocity, d = distance and t = time).
