Students create a beautiful poster that illustrates how they have spent their life using proportional reasoning. In the process they convert hours per day into years of their lives. Then they convert these ratios to degrees to make a circle graph, and finally they use proportions to label each se...

Your students can demonstrate their understanding of the Pythagorean Theorem through two beautiful and engaging projects. The projects not only make great displays that will enhance the esthetics of your classroom, but they also incorporate measurement standards into the activity. One project is ...

In this beautiful project, students illustrate how the area of the circle is calculated. This helps them not only learn the area formula of πr^2, but also to understand its derivation and retain the learning.

In this beautiful project, students illustrate how the area of the trapezoid is calculated. This helps them not only learn the area formula of average base x height, but also to understand its derivation and retain the learning.

Students are assigned two coordinate points and create a poster illustrating three ways to find slope: with a graph, with a t-table, and with the slope formula. This focused process promotes deeper conceptual understanding and helps students not only make stronger connections among the different ...

Students from grades 6 through algebra will love this engaging project in which they figure out a magic trick involving algebra and then go on to create their own version. Using the simple hundreds chart from kindergarten, students embark on an exploration of the rich number sense and algebraic t...

Students create a beautiful project that illustrates four ways to solve a system of equations. They use guess-and-check, a t-table, graphing, and elimination as tools to solve the problem they design. In the process, they develop crucial conceptual understanding of systems of equations.

Students design and play a game to determine the probability of winning and its fairness. They illustrate both the theoretical and experimental probability. In the process they explore fractions, algebra, and nonlinear functions. The result is a beautiful project suitable for display on your clas...
