Algebra:
Fun with Calendars: "In this activity, a volunteer picks four days
that form a square on the calendar, such as March 17, 18, 24 and 25.
The volunteer computes the sum of the numbers of the four days (in this
example, 84). A simple calculation then " magically " uncovers the four
dates. But why does the trick work? This can be the start of an
algebraic investigation that should be accessible to most pre-algebra
and algebra students."

Sun Rent-a-Car Project: This resource is provided from Cynthia
Lanius' Homepage through Rice University. Rent-a-Car is an activity
designed to use a real-world situation to illustrate linear functions.
Further, it connects algebra with real-world experiences. Students are
allowed to work individually or in groups. The students must read a
problem situation, make tables and graphs, analyze the graphs, and
write functions and paragraphs. Students are exposed to graphs, tables,
functions, and systems of linear equations. In addition , students must
help the Green family decide which rent-a-car plan is best for their
family vacation.
