Perfect for October! This activity is a fantastic addition to your October math lessons or a fun, educational treat for the Halloween season.

It is always a good strategy to review essential skills with your students, and this is right up there with the most essential!

Slope (Gradient) is a very practical real-life experience for all of us - we climb stairs daily and walk up and down very steep and less steep inclines. In this practical, outside activity, students encounter slope first hand and then make sense of the mathematics behind it. Students are then encouraged to think about the real-life applications and implications that slope has in the life of people like the elderly and the handicapped.

Linear equations, slope, rise over run, gradient, y=mx+b.

Level Ups are a fun way to challenge your students to complete various levels of mastery on working with proportional relationships. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity provides 4 levels of challenge for your students to complete, starting with pre-requisite proportional relationship skills such as identifying when a relationship is or is not proportional all the way up to comparing units rate from different representations.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 3, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review comparing proportional relationships after teaching the concepts, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

• Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).
• Four levels with 4 - 6 questions each.
• Complete answer keys for each level.

Linear Relationships Art #1 - Graphing Straight Lines - PBL, Project Based Learning

This math art project embodies the principles of project-based learning, merging mathematics with artistic expression to engage students in a multifaceted educational experience. Students will graph 18 linear equations, meticulously tracing each line then creating intricate oblong shapes within spaces created by the lines.

The project culminates in a vibrant display of color as students fill in each unique shape, applying their understanding of mathematical concepts through a creative lens. This approach not only reinforces skills in graphing and geometry but also encourages artistic creativity and attention to detail. Ideal for fostering a deeper appreciation for the intersection of math and art, this project makes learning both interactive and visually compelling.

2 Versions Included

This math art project comes in two versions:

1. Equations are provided - this allows students to begin graph pre-determined equations, all projects will have the same outline. This will still allow for student artistic expression within their shape creation and color choices.

2. The second version is where students craft their own, adhering to specific criteria. The latter challenges gifted and talented learners, promoting higher-order thinking as they develop equations. This self-generated approach deepens understanding, fostering analytical skills and creative problem-solving in a mathematically artistic context.

Looking for more math and art? Try one of these!
