[|Monthly Budget] ** This is an interactive website that allows the students freedom in picking their careers and planning a monthly budget. **

** [|Track Design] **
 * This activity comes from the nrich website presented by Jocelyn. Good activity dealing with scale drawings.**


 * [|Your Number Is...]**
 * Another problem that came from the nrich website. This one deals with functions.**


 * [|Tournament Bracket]**
 * A figurethis website problem. This one involves predicting how many games in the NCAA March Madness Tournament.**


 * [|The Broken Calculator]**
 * A great problem for a "bell ringer" or "warmup." This activity asks you to calculate the numbers 1-15 without a fully functional calculator.**

**[|How Many Fish in the Pond]** Statistics - capture-recapture method for determining the population of fish

**[|Popcorn]** Geometry - maximizing volume to get the most popcorn

**[|I Win - Dice Game]** Statistics - determine the fairness of a game using experimental and theoretical probability, a good discussion of random samples could follow

**[|Are We There Yet - a Rate Problem?]** Algebra/Geometry - great problem to introduce the unit analysis

**[|Firgure This - Patterned Art]** Geometry - an artistic problem to do with patterns at the beginning of geometry

__ **Jocelyn Painter** __ The following contains 6 problems and their link to the 8 commom core math standards If you're interested in other cool math problems, check out singingbanana (that's who does the videos) on YouTube. He's a professor from Cambridge who does a great job making every problem exciting!

http://teachers.henrico.k12.va.us/math/hcpsalgebra1/module9review.html Website with several resources about systems of equations.

1) Yellow Light Lengths(http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?p=7436) - Length of yellow lights; An opportunity to collect, analyze and test data. 2) Volume of an Irregularly Shaped Solid(http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?p=5990) - Filling an irregular shaped aquarium. A demonstration of volume, an opportunity to measure the volume of an oddly shaped solid, and a connection to practical applications of this concept. 3) Scale Factor Applet(http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=176) - An applet for students to explore the relationship between the scale factor, scale factor of the perimeter, and scale factor of the area of a rectangle. 4) Human Conics(http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?id=L815) - A list of activities that can be used to have students create conics outside of the classroom. For example, students can create a parabola using a rope, a few pieces of chalk, and a parking line.
