Ciphers and Codebreaking (mini booklet)

Created by

Andrew McCartney

Originally written for Algebra 2 students as a fun end-of-year after-testing activity. It's a lighthearted take on the subject but includes some more serious math. This is a 58-page mini-textbook that covers some basic elements of classical cryptography, including Caesar, vigenere, affine, and keyword ciphers, among others. It discusses modular arithmetic, solving algebraic equations with modular arithmetic, and some basic work with prime numbers (coprimes, Ulam's spiral, Mersenne Primes). The b

Zach's Eraser: Linear Functions and Line of Fit

Created by

Teacher to Teacher Press

This is an effective and thought-provoking way to helps students apply functions to real situations. The resulting function shows a negative slope. Though it is a simple linear function, the data is not perfect, so a line of fit must be employed. Because it is based on real data, even students who have only a beginning experience with functions can understand the concepts and mathematics. The lesson can incorporate slope-intercept and point-slope forms as well as independent and dependent variab

Binary Math

Created by

Keri Smith

This handout is used to help the students convert Binary Code into Base 2 numbers. 0's mean off, 1's mean on. Instead of using Base 10, teach the students base 2, convert, and perform the functions. This is the final product after a study of Binary Code and Base 2. There are quite a few lessons online with Binary and Base 2, but I created this to go with what I found online.

Individual Grade Tracking Sheet

Created by

The Classroom Under the Stairs

Over time I have found that traditional gradebook methods are really more work than they are worth! Being a pull out program teaching K-5 students, I needed something to grade that was much more flexible. This product is meant to keep a single students assignment grades all in one place! If you have a program, like mine, where many of your students work on different assignments this is a different way of keep data to make your life easier. I hope you enjoy this and it works well for you!

Find each product of decimals and whole numbers!

Created by

Oghwa Ladner

In order to find the product of two decimals, such as 0.8 x 0.8, students create a model by shading columns and rows. After concluding the overlapping portion of the shaded region, students find the product and determine whether the product is greater than 1, less than 1, or equal to 1. Then, students verify the product using the standard algorithm (on the front page). On the back page, students identify differences and similarities between the multiplication of whole numbers and decimals.
