"The Great Food Truck Project" - Rate, Proportions, and Percents Unit Assessment
A rates and proportions unit project, centering around the real-world use of percentages and rates. Students work with a small group to create their own concept for a food truck, including what food and drink options they would sell. Using inspiration for "The Great Food Truck Race" and "Sharktank" TV shows, students work to create a best-selling idea, that also showcases their own values as a "company".I hope to share more information and examples of how I use this project with my upcoming ye

The Reaping: A Probability Simulation Activity
Your students will work with tables, graphs, equations, proportional relationships, probability and simulations while studying the math behind the Reaping. This resource is a series of three activities that are all focused on math related to the Reaping, including tables, graphs, equations, proportional relationships, and probability. The first two activities focus on the patterns, percent and probability. Students will create tables, graphs and equations to show the total number of entries f

Using Proportions to Estimate Fish Populations Simulation: Capture - Recapture
Show your students how proportional thinking is used by scientists to estimate wildlife populations using a capture - recapture process. In cooperative groups, students will use a lake (paper bag) full of fish (beans) to capture, tag, recapture, and record their findings. They will use their data to write proportions and estimate the total number of fish in the lake. Students will use easy-to-follow instructions on an editable Google Slides presentation and record their data and work on an in

Introduction to Rates and Proportions - Grocery Store Task
This activity is designed to introduce students to the concept of rates and unit rates, through a simulation-style grocery store activity. With a small group, students are given a grocery list, a “$20 bill”, and open access to five “grocery store aisles”. Students will travel the aisles with their “families” while shopping for their dinner ingredients. They have only $20 to spend, so they must find how much only 1 unit of each item costs, as they do not want to overspend. Using their receipt

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

Properties of Matter: Inquiry Finding Density & Observing Buoyancy (DENSITY)
Interested in PrBL/PBL? Want to get students engaged in learning about matter while still holding them accountable?This Lab introduces students to density as an intrinsic property (at standard pressure and temperature).Students use a simulation to explore the relationship between volume, mass, density, and buoyancy with an inquiry approach.This lab is designed to engage students in learning about density as a property of matter. It is the fifth activity in a 5 part lab.This Lab also works well a

Water Jug Bomb Defusal - A "Ratios" Ticking Clock Scenario
Water Jug Bomb Defusal is a great task to get students thinking and working in math teams to solve a fun problem. See how many solutions your students can come up with. My own students really enjoyed this task. An explosive (and positively cinematic!) good time for a Thinking Classroom. Enjoy!
