Book Descriptions
Cars, Ramps, Photogates: An Integrated Approach to Teaching Linear Equations (Curriculum)
- This is the “Tests and Quizzes Edition” to the Cars, Ramps, Photogates; An Integrated Approach to Teaching Linear Equations Student Edition. Organization is one of the main contributing factors to the success of high school students. This edition was created so that students could have all of their test and quizzes in one place. So, when it is time for quiz review or content/work habits reflection, they know exactly where to find their documentation.
- Student Edition: This project aids students in understanding linear equations in a more tangible way. This curriculum takes the “cycling back” approach of implementing content. It has been effective in aiding students in retaining information.
- Teachers Edition: Mathematics can be very boring!! Passing out mundane worksheets that do not bridge connections is a waste of time. As mathematics educators, we struggle to find projects or activities that engage students; this is one that does. I currently start this project on the first day of school every year. Students have always enjoyed manipulating the cars, ramps, or photogates to gather the data needed. The way this project integrates Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Statistics has been great with regards to the “connections’ made. Where students have previously struggled with seeing how different content or subjects tie together, they are able to do so throughout the duration of this curriculum. Take your time with this project, please read throughout it, use the resources I provided, and just enjoy it. I have fun with this project every year and I know you will too. P.S – A Car and Ramp set must be purchased for this curriculum to be effective. Mr. Gregory P. Lakey

-
Investing is such a convoluted term. Just saying that word out loud in certain circles can elicit either blank stares or negative mumblings. The power and knowledge that comes from Investing is what all of us need to understand.
