Budget Spreadsheet Project (personal finance & math skills)
A step-by-step project with detailed instructions on how to set up an Excel spreadsheet budget. Students will apply math skills in context of a real-life budgeting situation.
Students will create a budget:
-Based on their future career choice.
-Independently by following the instructions using an Excel Spreadsheet.
-Over the course of at least 2 class periods (typically students take at least 2.5 hours to complete this project).

Statistics Mode, Median, Mean, Range Worksheet for Math or Psychology
What's in the Hand: Activity makes learning mode, median, mean, and range fun. You will need two packs of playing cards in order to use 10 different variations. I use giant clothes pins to hold a total of 9 cards for each station. Each student gets a worksheet and is assigned to a group of 4-5 students. Students will complete the first rotation by figuring the mean, median, mode, and range, and then rotate to each other station in about 5 min intervals. At the end they will answer the questions

Non Functional Vending Machine
This powerpoint is used to engage students before learning about functions. When you click on a number it will go to the coresponding candy. If you press the push button on the machine it will lead you to a table. The A2 button is special, if you click on the A it will lead to the Pops candy. If you click on the 2 it will lead to the Dots. (This is the non function part) You can ask the students is this a functional vending machine. They will say no because when you pressed the A2 button you got

GPS Simulation - Applications of Algebra and Geometry - Aligned with Numb3rs
Are you tired of hearing your students say "When would you ever use this!?" This lesson is a perfect way to silence their complaints!
I originally designed this lesson to be used after watching the episode "Convergence"of the CBS television series Numb3rs. I think every middle/HS teacher should own copies of this series. If you aren't familiar with the show, it is basically a crime show where the characters solve crimes with math. (Similar to CSI) You might be able to download free episodes

Investing in the Stock Market
This project was created for a consumer math class. It has the students selecting 3 stocks, and buying different amounts based on their budget (I chose budgets and had them draw from a hat). Students will then track the 3 stocks for a month (I have them back track dates on Yahoo! Finance's History tab), and then graphing their gains or losses. Students will then finish by summarizing their month.

Marble Activity
Fun activity to have students investigate and calculate probability.Using a Plinko-style board, students predict where the marble will drop. Probabilities are then found by breaking the board down into smaller versions and seeing how it relates to Pascal's Triangle to be able to determine the probabilities.There are questions related to the marble drop and probability, some questions about Plinko and an extension using The Wall game show.SMART Notebook presentation, word document and pdf version

Payday - Exponential Growth Board Game for Algebra
Payday is an awesome interactive board game similar to the game of Life. Students start with $400,000 and life events cause them to gain or lose money. At the end of each year, students calculate the yearly exponential growth to get their new balance. The first student to $1,000,000 wins.
Students are involved and excited to play this game. This is a good formative assessment tool to see if student understand this algebraic topic. The student score sheet is a way to collect their work and asse
