"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

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

Similar Triangles Digital Exploration | Triangles Task | Distance Learning
If you are doing distance learning, this geometry investigation is perfect for exploring the "Angle Angle Triangle Similarity Postulate (AA)." Students ultimately come to understand that when two angles of one triangle are congruent to two corresponding angles of another triangle, then the corresponding side lengths are proportional. Thus, the triangles are similar. If you want to stick with the "Angle Angle Angle Triangle Similarity Postulate (AAA)" then you can emphasize to students that when

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
