With so many great math resources, it can be hard to choose! Read about 5 of our favorite math resources - each one from a different activity type.

Resource 1- MOVE: Exponential Growth

In this MOVE activity, students get up and out of their seats to simulate exponential growth. They observe how an exponential function grows faster than a linear one. 

Resource 2 - APPLICATION: Graphing Wages

In this Application, students write linear equations about real-world wage scenarios, including comparing salary packages, exploring the minimum wage, and analyzing a living wage for three families. As always, Applications include three levels of difficulty, so you can easily customize them for your classroom. 

Resource 3 - DESMOS: Growth of Savings vs Investments

In this Desmos Classroom Activity, students are introduced to exponential functions by comparing how savings and investments grow over time. 

Resource 4 - CREATE: Histogram Jigsaw

In this CREATE activity, students work in groups to create a histogram for a data set related to managing credit, like mortgage rates, car prices, or student debt amounts. 

Resource 5 - MATH: Unit Price

In this Math Collection activity, students practice a fundamental consumer skill: comparing unit price. This activity includes a worked example, Edpuzzle walkthrough, and questions for practice and reflection.
