This experiment involves the collection, sorting and analysis of leaves. This experiment was originally completed in a high school daily skills science classroom. However, it could easily be used in an elementary classroom as well. In the experiment students are required to collect a variety of leaves based on size, shape and color. Once collected, students independently sort the leaves however they'd like. Methods and variations for sorting are discussed during the experiment. This is a great lesson to add to any fall unit where you will be talking about leaves or changing colors.

This activity is all about matching a data set to its 5 number summary and box-and-whiskers plot. Students are given 7 sets of data and have to find the 5 number summary and plot that match it. Matching is a great way to have students analyze a bunch of data at one time and look for similarities and differences. Our students love all matching activities we do and as teachers we feel they get a great deal out of doing them!

Students will be required to convert radians to degrees or degrees to radians. Students will start at any poster they want, solve the question and look for the answer around the room. If done correctly, students will end up back at the same poster. This is a great practice and review as it promotes self-checking and understanding of the content. We have only had success with scavenger hunts in our classroom.

Our matching activities have been our biggest hit! This activity is requires students to match the system of equations with their graphs and solutions. There are 8 total sets; 4 systems requiring substitution and 4 using linear combination (elimination). Our students, as always, have greatly enjoyed this matching activity. We love matching because it requires students to take a large amount of data and identify characteristics, patterns and solutions.

This is a scavenger hunt that focuses on students ability to simplify nth roots. All numerators in this activity are 1. We love these activities because they let students work independently and assess their own work. This gives them ownership of their work, which they love. We have had nothing but success using scavenger hunts in our math classes! This is definitely one of our favorites!

This scavenger hunt requires students to use knowledge of distributing a binomial to a binomial in order to convert from factored to standard form of quadratic functions. The equations have both positive and negative "a" values. This is a great review for students before a test or quiz or just to refresh their skills. The pages are already in order, which will provide you with the answers.

This class project is sure to be a hit with any and all of your students! Students have been hired as consultants for Monsters University to solve some team problems. Students must use the provided data to create a linear regression (line of best fit, least squares equation) in order to determine a correlation coefficient. Afterwards, students identify residuals for each piece of data. After collecting all the necessary information, students are led through questions related to the organization. When I did this in class I gave all three (3 similar projects all found on our page) and let them choose. The choices were mixed and the students loved that they were able to individualize the days lesson depending on their interests. After students were finished each group received a reporting form. This is the form the "consultants" would hand their employer to summarize their findings. This was absolutely a hit in our class! We have actually created three similar scenarios to cover the same information. If you want all three projects I have bundled each for just 5.99!

This scavenger hunt requires students to use knowledge of midline, period, amplitude and y-intercepts to characterize different sine and cosine functions and their graphs. Students start at any poster, answer the question, and find the answer on another poster around the room. If done correctly, they will end up back at the same poster. This is a great activity to have students self-check their knowledge.

This 9 poster scavenger hunt requires students to examine the characteristics of rational expressions graphs. Have students analyze a question and find the graph that matches the information. Students will: Identify the horizontal and vertical asymptotes Identify the domain and range Describe end behavior Determine holes (if any) (please note: the holes are indicated by points on the graph) This is easily adaptable to fit your class needs and instructional methods. This is a great review of rational expressions and their graphs after instruction or before a test.

This is a multi-layered lesson designed to teach and aid students in writing checks and balancing checkbooks. Students are walked through each step of writing a check and practice on their own. Afterwards, students are lead through the process of balancing a checkbook followed by independent practice. Included in the download are two publisher files for instruction and practice and a powerpoint. The powerpoint can easily be adapted for your lesson but gives the framework for the lessons.

This is a set of 16 trigonometry task cards requiring students to use knowledge of basic trig functions to find unknown sides and angles. Students will be required to use all the trig functions and some inverses to find unknown values. We've also incorporated a little cross curricular fun by adding some of the most famous and tallest buildings into the word problems. These are sure to be a hit!

A murder mystery to help your math detectives solve a crime for the NYC Police. Students will go through a series of puzzles to determine the perpetrator. This 4 clue murder mystery requires students to use knowledge of determining slope, identifying x and y-intercepts, graphing linear functions and using linear functions to solve word problems, Our students love this activity as a review or test prep. Assign to a group or individual. Answer key included.
