Quadratic Functions - Introduction to graphing with Technology
I introduce my students to graphing quadratic functions using technology with this self made worksheet. My students like spending time in the computer lab, it gives them independence to try something new and they enjoy seeing the graphs be formed on the screen as soon as they type in an equation and they love getting out of the classroom! It is a lot more fun then graphing with paper and pencil.
I consider this work as a project because it is work done outside a classroom. It requires a com

Webquest Investigation - Slope of a Line
Using a free online graphing calculator, students explore relationships between linear equations, their graphs, and the slopes of the lines. By the end of this investigation, students will discover relationships between parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and their slopes. Enjoy!

Scatterplots: Linear Regression Line of Best Fit:Forearms and Height (Editable)
After teaching my students about scatterplots, correlation, and the line of best fit, I take a day for them to do a hands-on lab, in which they measure their height (in inches) and their forearm length (from the tip of their elbow, to the bony point on their wrist), and we plot the class data, write the equation of the line of best fit, and then use the equation generated both forwards and backwards. They will need 45 minutes to an hour to do this in class.
Some years, the data have very littl

Linear Equations Graphing with Technology
This is a project I use in my Algebra classroom to help my students practice graphing linear equations given in standard form using technology such as Geogebra, Desmos calculator or a graphing calculator.
The topics included are finding the following information from the different graphs:
Slope = ___________
X-intercept ________
Y-Intercept _______
Students are also required to write the slope intercept form.
A reflection is required at the end of the project in part to get some fe

Math Lab:Exponential Functions and Seed Overproduction vs Time/DISTANCE LEARNING
My students totally enjoy doing the following math lab! They invariably find it to be both fun to do as well as informative. They readily relate to discussions within.
* Students work with a partner
* Students begin by a brief discussion about seed overproduction
* Students are provided with assumptions used to complete the lab
* Students work collaboratively to determine the number of seeds in a bell pepper
* Students find the average number of seeds in a bell pepper using the totals

Linear Relationship Labs
This project has 1 sample lab to complete together as a class and 6 other labs that create a linear relationship.
Students work through the labs collecting data and then analyze the data to create equations, use calculators or spreadsheets to create regression equations (best fit lines), and use the equations to make predictions.

M & M's Probability Experiment
In this experiment, the students learn about the basics of probability and what happens depending on the sample size. The students predict based on a sample what is in their bag and then find out if the are correct. Then using the actual data the students calculate probabilities based on individual, group and class results. They graph this information as well.
There are questions along with this activity that ask why and get at their thinking. In the end they compare the class results wit

Vertical Motion Exploration Math Lab - Discovering through Inquiry
Do you have those students that always ask about how this relates to real life? This math lab is the solution. Students will work through an experiment just like they would in science class to discover through self-inquiry that vertical motion is best represented with parabolas and quadratic functions. The experiment allows students to discover this phenomena through inquiry and data collection. After collecting data, students will have their "a-ha" moment. Students will quickly be able to
