Flexible Projects & Lab Activities
4 Projects AvailableTeacher Guidance
Projects are flexible unit-level learning investigations chosen by the teacher. They belong to the module in general rather than specific days, giving educators freedom to schedule or assign them at their discretion throughout the unit.
Project: Toothpicks
Quadratic growth patterns in geometric square grids and sequence formulas.
Lab Activity: Transforming Graphs
Vertex form translations and dilation analysis of y = ax^2 + c.
Project: Homeward Bound
Curved trajectory and distance optimization modeling.
Project: Buried Treasure Puzzle
