Enjoy!
Toilet Paper Geometry Project
Toilet Paper Geometry is a math project that requires students to find the surface area and volume of a roll of toilet paper. Students calculate the total surface area of the roll, determine how many rolls of toilet paper it would take to cover different surfaces, and then calculate the volume of the toilet paper in two different ways.
Super Spinners Probability Activity
Super Spinners Probability is a hands-on activity that requires students to analyze three themed spinners to compare the theoretical probability with their own experimental probability. Students then collect and analyze data from their trials and and those of their classmates.
Proportional Pictures Project
Proportional Pictures is a hands-on math project that helps students to discover the relationship between the perimeter and area of two similar figures. Students discover that when they increase the size of their scale drawing by a factor of three, the perimeter also increases by a factor of three, but the area increases by a factor of nine (3 x 3).
Stained Glass Window Graphing Equations Project
Stained Glass Window is a project that requires students to graph Linear Equations in order to create a colorful (yet mathematical) display window. Students graph twelve linear equations from the equation bank to create their own unique window. Stained Glass Window will help students to clearly identify the equations of horizontal and vertical lines and easily distinguish between positive and negative slope.
Quirky Quiz Probability and Statistics Lesson
Quirky Quiz is a fun statistics and probability lesson packed full of mathematical concepts. Students complete a ten item multiple choice quiz that includes no questions or problems. They score their quizzes, analyze the probability of the independent events involved (quiz items), and use bar graphs to represent their statistical results. Students also use frequency tables, percents, exponents, and fractions.
