Cars, Ramps, Photogates: An Integrated Approach to Teaching Linear Equations (Teachers Edition)

By Gregory Lakey

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
