Misleading title - Excellent book

The title of this book is about as misleading as it gets - these are not activities, they're worksheets, and I'd say 90% of them do not have "real world" applications like they claim. Despite this, I find this book to be among my top 3 favorite sources for worksheets and in-class work. The worksheets are not always worksheets in the way that they just offer practice. Most will require your students to actually think. For instance, I love the worksheet where there are about 12 Order of Operations problems offered, where the students have to match the original with a partially completed step, and then solve from there. The follow up "activity" offers them two order of operations problems, one correct and one not, and the students have to write why the incorrect one is wrong and how the incorrect person got their solution. For the concept of translating words to math, they offer a true/false worksheet (another opportunity to write), a crossword puzzle (forcing them to think backwards), and a few standard practice worksheets. These, in my view, are much better than simple drill practice worksheets. Of course, a number of those will be found in here as well, but in general, there are some pretty good options. You probably wouldn't use all of these to teach a course, but for each section in the curriculum, you can find 3 or 4 you wouldn't mind using as homework or a group activity. I would highly recommend this to teachers who are willing to go above and beyond with their students.

Useful

I've used several of the worksheets in the book. I personally like the graphing worksheets. It's not a bad book to have in order to complement your instruction. But you will need other resources.

Ready to use worksheets

I've used this book A LOT in the math classes I teach: Algebra 1, Algebra 2, SAT prep. Many of the worksheets are designed for quick grading. (Typically the students are to decode a message as they world through the problems.) -- A great supplemental resource for helping students learn or review algebraic topics.

First Year Teacher

I am a first year Algebra teacher and I am so happy with this book. It has activities that are enjoyable and real world. It saves me time, which is so important

A Real Lifesaver

I am a first year math teacher and I bought this book during my first semester. I wouldn't call this an Activity book with Real-World Applications. It's really a book of 150 very good worksheets. I give my students a worksheet from this book when I want them to review concepts I have already taught or for extra credit. It is a lot better than a boring practice worksheet. I recommend this book for every algebra teacher who wants to give their students a fun worksheet review to back up their lessons. It has really come in handy!
