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

Microsoft Excel Vector Solver
Solve 2 dimensional, non perpendicular vector addition problems on a spreadsheet students create from scratch. Outstanding concept review for adding vectors of all types.
Students construct the spreadsheet in a computer lab or at home and then answer questions about how they programmed the spreadsheet and then solve problems using the spreadsheet. The answer key provides full descriptions of any/all necessary spreadsheet manipulations so it is perfect for a teacher needing to brush up on Ex

Geometry Triangle Congruence Theorems Activity
SSS, SAS, SSA. They mean absolutely nothing to my students. So instead of wasting a month on this unit, I condensed it into this activity which allows students to physically manipulate objects and discover which shortcut theorems can be used to show that two triangles are congruent.It is tough to implement at first, but it has done wonders for my students once they get the hang of it. We constantly refer back to this experiment whenever we are proving things in later units.

Social Issue Project: Dangerous Dolls?
During this project, students will measure themselves, measure action figures/dolls, and scale up the doll proportionally to life size, based on their height. Then, they will trace themselves on a large piece of butcher block paper. On that same paper, they will sketch out the life-sized doll proportions and create a body outline of what the doll would look like if it were their same height. They should finish with something that looks terribly disproportionate. From there, you can have a debate

Constructing a Unit Circle on Geometer's Sketchpad
Guided instructions to create an animated unit circle on Geometer's Sketchpad. Students will create the unit circle and the reference triangle. They will animate a point on the circle to see what happens as the arc length increases.
Can be used to create trigonometric functions on GSP.
