What affects do different drugs have on spiders and their abilities to make their webs? Students look at the area of different webs to predict an answer to this question. The raw data is available for this experiment.
Use this three act task to get students thinking about surface area. Extend the task to create a method/formula for surface area of a prism.
Use this three act task to have students make predictions and determine which area is the greatest.
To answer the inevitable question of "Why are we doing math?" we will create a slide presentation of 10 different career fields, how math is used in those fields , and what degree is required to work in that field. Bonus points are awarded for unique career fields that other students did not come up with.
Open Middle provides math problems that have a closed beginning, a closed end, and an open middle. This means that there are multiple ways to approach and ultimately solve the problems. Open middle problems generally require a higher Depth of Knowledge than most problems that assess procedural and conceptual understanding.

Students determine how much of each paint color is necessary to paint the room they are in. Students use their knowledge of ratios and area to accomplish this task.
Students are given a figure and asked to use the information provided to extrapolate the equation for the area of a rhombus and kite.
