Part A & B: (2 versions for differentiation) Students research the growth of a tree and write an equation to represent the growth. Then, they determine when their tree will be the same height as my tree, which was planted five years ago. They find their solution using the substitution or elimination method.
Part C: Create a graph to show the system.
Part D: Analyze the results.
Part E: Create a visual of the tree and some facts about the tree.
Answer Key:All 40 scenarios for the different growth rates has been calculated, including the possible solutions. Answers to all the analytical questions.
Rubric (PPT file):100% editable
Student Sign-Up Sheet:Excel sheet for students to choose their tree and the growth rate
Example Visual (PDF file): An example of Part E to show students.
Students are able to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of math in real world settings. Authentic projects that can be used as individual or group work. Project based learning is perfect to integrate within a unit of study or used as a summative assessment.

Such a fun, hands-on activity! Systems of equations can be hard and it's great to give students a visual.

Real World Means Thumbs Up for Me
Anytime I can incorporate real-world application with math, I jump right on board! This was so helpful for solidifying the abstract into the world around us.

Great Real-World Application
This resource was highly effective for my students. The project format successfully bridges the gap between abstract algebra concepts and real-world scenarios, which kept the class engaged. The graphing activity is well-structured, clear, and easy to implement. It served as an excellent tool for assessing their understanding of systems of linear equations in a fun, practical way. Highly recommended for any middle or high school math classroom.

it is not letting me open the file with the rubric. Can you send it to me?
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.
