Probability of Compound Events (Guided Notes)
This lesson is meant to be used as guided notes for a whole class.
Students begin by learning what makes 2 events independent. After slowly working through a problem about rolling a die and choosing a card, they discover that they can multiply probabilities when working with these compound events. They then attempt problems involving picking marbles from a bag. Next, they learn about dependent events, and finally, mutually exclusive events.

Mathematical Operations Vocabulary Posters - Math Operations Clue Words
One of the biggest problems math students face is not knowing which operation to use in each situation. They can add, subtract, multiply and divide, but it doesn't do them any good if they don't know which operation to choose.
The solution is making Math vocabulary a priority. Use these math operations posters to reinforce the clue words for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.

Math Logic Problems
A student in my 8th grade advanced class came back to visit as I was setting up my classroom this year. He was that "advanced" advanced kid. You know, the one who's probably smarter than you are? Well he seemed fairly bored the entire time I had him so I was shocked to hear mine had been his favorite class because of all the "Math Puzzles" we did. Of course, he probably was bored in class, but he did enjoy these logic problems!
So here are 30 of them. I've organized them into 6 sets. Each

Gummy Bear Catapult - Quadratic Functions Project
In this project students design and build a mini-catapult to launch gummy bears. They time their launch and use this information to write the quadratic function that models the height of the gummy bear based on the time since the launch. They use this function to determine the maximum height of the gummy bear and to sketch the graph of the scenario. Domain, range, and average rate of change are all discussed and the final product is put together in an electronic presentation. A rubric is incl

Sinusoids in Everyday Life - Applications of Sinusoidal Functions (w/Answer Key)
I am currently teaching trigonometry in my IB class, and I find it crucial that students be able to apply their knowledge of how to write equations of sine functions (e.g. y = a*sin(b(x-c))+d) to real-world problems.
I created problems based on windmills, AC household voltage, the motion of tides, and then I included a spiral review question requiring them to solve a trigonometric equation over a given domain.
