Amazing resource

I loved this but my students loved it more. They had so much fun with real life parables. It was very easy to follow and everything was done for me. Print and go!

My students loved this! They worked on it in class as we learned the concepts. It was cool to watch them learn the features of desmos and put their knowledge to work as they worked through the packet.

This was the perfect project to finish our Quadratics Units in Algebra 1. My students enjoyed finding parabolas in the real world and they enjoyed using Desmos to practice their graphing. The instructions and worksheets provided were clear, and the video explanation was helpful for my students. Definitely recommend this resource.

This was a great resource to reinforce what students learned in Algebra 2.

Real World Math Projects

I am always trying to create or find projects where each students' project will be different than every other students in the class because it is more authentic this way. And of course, I want it to be applicable in the real world! This is not always easy to make because if every student’s project is different, or even has an unlimited number of solutions, checking each one is extremely difficult and time-consuming for the teacher. Well, guess what?!...these projects are authentic.
