Practice middle school math skills with calculator activities provided to accompany the Saxon Math series. Although intended for use with Saxon Math, use these activities as a supplement for any math curriculum. Sorted by grade level, these activities include the specific Saxon Math lesson they follow. Calculator activities link to graphing calculator activities that include demonstration and practice tips as well as a template to provide your own problems. Course 3 also includes six real world investigation activities that provide a problem to research on the Internet with instructions for solving the problem then sharing a response.
In the Classroom
Challenge cooperative learning groups to create videos on how to solve one of the real world investigations. Share the videos on a site such as TeacherTube <a href="/single.cfm?id=9419">reviewed here</a>. Use the real world investigation cards for homework or as a week-long project in the classroom or computer lab.
At Home
Share the calculator activities with your child to practice math concepts taught in school. Use the real world investigation cards as an inspiration for math fair or research projects.
