Math Career Assignment with Directions, Website Links and a Grading Rubric
Looking for a new assignment for one of your math classes? I have created this assignment in an attempt to have students become more passionate about math and to see a connection to the real world. In short, this assignment requires students to create a 1-page fact-sheet or Power Point presentation on a particular math career. (51 Printable careers are included) Each student in the class completes their own report and then reports back to the class on their findings. When I am done with all o
Algebra Project: Different, Fun Topics
This is a project that has students research different aspects of the mathematical world. They can either work as individuals or in pairs as they research topics such as Kaprekar's constant, the Konigsberg Bridge, the Golden Ratio, Pi, Pascal's Triangle, Euler Characteristics, Fibonacci Sequence, and Mind-Reading Tricks. The project has the students creating a paper and a visual aid for a presentation. The students will get practice researching, find interest in different math topics, and will

MATH-ITECTURE PROJECT - Having Students Recreate Famous World Structures
**THIS PROJECT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A 25-MINUTE VIDEO THAT ADVERTISES / DISPLAYS / HYPES THE PROJECT, ALONG WITH INTERVIEWS BY THE STUDENTS WHO CREATED THEIR PROJECTS (with hints, insight and suggestions).[Directly from the rubric sheet handed to students beforehand:] "MISSION: Greetings MATH-itect! Your goal is to create a 3-D model or poster of a historic building or any type of structure, and identify the various geometric shapes. In addition, you must also find the Area of one of your geometric
Logic and Proof Advertising Project
This activity provides students the opportunity to analyze a catchphrase or slogan of a company. They convert the catchphrase into a conditional statement and use that to determine the converse, inverse, and contrapositive statement. The presentation at the end is an analysis of the validity of each of those statements.

Scale Diagram House Project
This is a scale model project. Students will find the actual dimensions of their house, perform the unit conversions and calculations and then create a 3D replica on a free software called Tinkercad, which is available to anyone online. The resource includes the workbook, where students will complete all their work, a teacher assessment sheet, and follow up questions. This project aligns with the concepts of Scale Reductions, Scale Enlargements, and Conversions. It is in an editable word documen

Year End Project Geometry
This is a year end project I created for my students to complete in the final two weeks of school. It is a group project with three to a group. I include a point breakdown, as well as topics to be investigated as they apply to my geometry course.
"Great news! This is your chance to turn the tables and be the teacher. You and your group are going to be responsible for teaching future students some of the concepts we have learned in geometry this year. I hope that you find this to be a rewar
Design a Dream Vacation Cabin Geometry
In this mini-project, students will design and draw to scale (plan and elevation views) their dream vacation cabin. They will calculate areas of the flooring, siding and roofing. Then they will research the internet and choose materials, find actual costs, and calculate total materials costs for those parts of their cabin. Handouts including a guide for students and a simple rubric, are included. Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate roofing.

Population Density/Density Lab Activity
This is a word document that can be altered for your area. I had students spend a period in the computer lab researching different local population densities. Students research the town area and population and then calculate the density. They had a lot of fun finding out about local areas! There area a few follow-up density questions on the second page from the Galileo Test Bank.

Lab 2: History of Mathmatics
This lab is a group project designed for my honors geometry. They research a mathematician that had a contribution to geometry. As a group they must create a creative poster board and short presentation to be given in front of the class.
Logical Reasoning Activity
Logical Reasoning can be a lower level topic. Students can internalize the meaning of these math terms by discovering them on their own. This document has instructions, a list of mathematical properties, and a rubric.

Circle Experiment
This is a quick experiment dealing with the measurement of different circular objects. The directions state that you measure four different objects and put the findings in the data table. The last box is circumference divided by diameter so students will realize that the answer is always pi. I usually bring in CD's, soup cans, jars and so forth for my objects. Also, depending on the size of the objects I just determine as a class whether they are to use centimeters or inches. This would be a
