Transformations Discovery Activity
This is a discovery activity dealing with transformations of absolute value graphs, constant graphs, linear graphs, and quadratic graphs. Students will use sliders on Desmos Online Graphing Calculator to see how each variable affects the parent graph of a function. Students will then draw conclusions and answer questions about similar functions without looking at the graph based on what they discovered. Note: You will need computers. We suggest pairing students in groups of two.

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.

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

Fireworks Show Entry Doc for Algebra I or II (Quadratics Project PBL)
Engage your math students in authentic, real world learning by helping them plan a fireworks show! This product includes two versions of an entry document to launch a PBL unit on quadratics. The document is a Microsoft Word Doc so you can make edits where needed. The first includes a more detailed plan for Algebra II students who will cover vertex, standard, and intercept form, transformations of quadratics, and solving equations with factoring, complete the square, and the quadratic formula.

March "Math"ness Probability
I designed this activity to show how likely making a perfect bracket really is. It engages students in a fun probability activity where they can calculate a probability and also see probability in action. Students have to pick 16 teams (real or fictional) and determine who they think the winners will be in each game. After answering a few probability questions, they will use a die to determine the winners of each game. Then they will see if they would have won a bracket challenge.

Simulation Intro Activity for AP Statistics (or lower)
This activity can be used to kick-off a statistics course or used later when introducing simulation as part of a probability unit. The theme is that names were randomly drawn out of a hat to see which students will have their paintings included in an art show. When a significant amount of females were selected, some of the males cried discrimination! So this problem has students discuss different ways to carry out a simulation (use a deck of cards, a random number generator, or a table of ran

Pendulums Investigation
This is an activity designed to allow students to work with the length and period of a simple pendulum as an application of a square root function.
Students use online resources to find the function that relates the period and length of a pendulum, then use this information to answer a series of questions. The activity culminates with an experiment in which students build and test their own simple pendulum and compare their results with the results predicted by the function.
