Cartoon Last Character Standing

Students will be given a list of Cartoon Characters to see how their characters are eliminated over a 10 day period during the Last Character Standing Games. They will be given a pair of dice that will be used to determine if the character moves on to the next day or if they are eliminated. On the back is a series of questions to ensure that students are learning about experimental probability. Very fun and there will be a lot of laughs.

This is a simple project, but it adds in real life scenario of what the cost is going out to eat. Students end up shocked at the cost of going out to eat! The students pick out a restaurant of their choice (can download the menu offline), "go out to eat" with three other family members, order, determine cost, sales tax and tip for a total of going out to eat for 4 people. This could be a group project with four students going out to eat and seeing what the cost is for each. Either way, it shows their decimal skills with basic math operations and gives them a new appreciation of going out to eat!

Objective: Students will be able to create a menu using algebraic expressions and combining like terms.

Activities:

•Designing the layout of the menu

•Calculating prices using algebraic expressions

•Creating the menu

Assessment: Rubric for menu project presentation

Culminating Activity:

Students will present their menus to the class, explaining the algebraic expressions used for pricing and demonstrating their understanding of combining like terms.

Additional Resources:

•Worksheets on like terms and combining like terms

•Sample menus for inspiration

•Rubric for menu project assessment

This is a simple but engaging way for students to practice their unit rates in a real world scenario. They are shopping for Christmas breakfast and they have to compare unit rates of different size products and incorporate coupons! It is a fun way to practice unit rates and also see how they can be used in every day life! There is a rubric for the activity!

Are you looking for a fun way to assess angles, lines, using a protractor to draw angles, and angle relationships? Then look no further! This fun math activity provides students with an opportunity to be an Urban Planner. They will use list of instructions to create their own Seasonal Town (Falling Leaves Town, Winter Wonderland Town, Spring Showers Town and Summer Sun Town). Each project has the same set of instructions but the street names are different to reflect the appropriate seasonal town name. This will allow you to pick a season or even create the four seasons in your classroom.

This project helps students demonstrate their knowledge in the following:

• parallel lines
• perpendicular lines
• transversal lines
• acute angles
• obtuse angles
• scalene triangle
• equilateral triangle
• isosceles triangle
• quadrilaterals
• z, c, and f patterns creating from transversal lines
• relationships between intersecting lines

There is also a rubric included for assessment purposes. I have used this project with my students and they have always enjoyed it and its quick to mark. Bonus! Students will likely need a couple of classes to complete this assessment and I would recommend having them complete a rough copy first to plan out their town.

Enjoy!
