Note to Teacher

Project Handout (PDF file & 100% Editable PPT file)

  • 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.

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.
