New Year 2024 Math Escape Room Coordinate Plane Review Activity
By Matemaths
Need an engaging, no prep after winter break activity? Your students will love this Coordinate Plane interactive digital escape room.
This activity is designed to work on laptops, tablets, or smartphones.
Your students will “visit” four different cities: New York, Paris, Rome and Tokyo.
In order to travel from one city to another, they will have to read and plot points on the coordinate plane.
After completing each game, they will find a link that will take them to another location.
Since this escape room is online (interactive pages) there is very little prep; just duplicate the student answer sheet, provide the link, and off they go! There are no locks to configure or clues to hide—everything you need is online. No Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams logins are necessary.
If your students need to complete it on different days, they will need to use the same device and the same browser. A button "continue" will appear on the first page and they will start back where they left.
You can use it as:
★ additional materials for remediation
★ a reward or “Fun Friday” activity
★ before the busy holiday break
★ an emergency sub lesson plan

Linear Relationships Art #1 - Graphing Straight Lines - Project Based Learning
By Manic Math Teacher
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:
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.
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.
