The Great Pyramid

http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/j/x/jxz8/Student_Webquests/Shatto/PYRAMID1.HTM
Content Standard: Geometric Measurement and Dimension (G-GMD) 3. Use volume formulas
for cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres to solve problems. (CDE, 2013,p.74)
After researching about the pyramids located in Egypt, the students will calculate the
base area and the volume of the Great Pyramid. The students will also calculate the volume of
the two smaller pyramids and compare the volumes of the three pyramids. The students will also
explain the differences of the pyramids.

Mathematics and Sports WebQuests
http://www.mathgoodies.com/Webquests/sports/
Content Standard: Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data (S-ID 1) Represent data with
plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots) (CDE, 2013, p. 64).
The students will be presented with four different sets of sports data. The students will
calculate the average of the provided data and the students will draw plots. The students will also
create tables representing the data that they calculated. When students create the plots they will
indicate the average for each plot. The key point of this activity is for students to interpret the
categorical data in context, the students need to explain the meaning of the data.
3.

The Lottery

http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=184349
Content Standard: Creating Equations (A-CED 1) - Create equations and inequalities in one
variable including ones with absolute value and use them to solve problems. Include equations
arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.
(CDE, 2013, p. 81).

Students will pretend that they have won the lottery. For this WebQuest students will
research about the things they can purchase before they exhaust the money they won. The
students will also create an equality equation. The amount of money that the students have to
spend is $500,000 on a dream home and car. The students will also create their own equation; an
example would be 5000000 C+H. C=dream car and H=dream house.

Take Me Out to The Ball Game

http://warrensburg.k12.mo.us/webquest/baseball/
Content Standard: Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data (S-ID 3) Interpret differences
in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of
extreme data points (outliers) (CDE, 2013, p. 68).
For this WebQuest the students are divided into five different groups, and they will search
the web for statistical data on ten great hitters. Based on their findings the students will conclude
who is the best baseball player of the times. All the groups will present their findings to the class
and present graphical data. In the data the students will indicate the best ten years of player, and
they will also indicate the shape and center/average of the graphical data.

Trilingual Packing Dilemma

http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/j/x/jxz8/Student_Webquests/Shirk/questks/index.htm
Content Standard: Similarity, Right Triangles, and Trigonometry (G-SRT 6). Understand that by
similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to
definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles. (CDE, 2013, p. 73).
Students will create a Trilingual Packing made of strictly right triangles. The students will
apply their understanding of right triangles and the applications of side ratios. The container that

they will create needs to be able to support itself. The students will work in groups to facilitate
the work.
6.

Pythagoras Revealed

http://questgarden.com/98/75/8/100320134728/index.htm
Content Standard: Similarity, Right Triangles, and Trigonometry (G-SRT 4). Prove theorems
about triangles. Theorems include: a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two
proportion-ally, and conversely; the Pythagorean Theorem proved using triangle similarity.
(CDE, 2013, p. 73).
This WebQuest was designed so that students can have a deeper understanding of the
Pythagorean Theorem. In groups of 3, students will research the history of the Pythagorean
Theorem and they will work on three different proofs in which they will select the best one.
Students will also apply the Pythagorean Theorem to real-life applications, and they will design
an activity in which they will use the Pythagorean Theorem.
7.

Simultaneous Equations

http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=92404
Content Standard: Creating Equations (A-CED 3). History-Social Science Content Standard
Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or
inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context. (CDE,
2013, p. 65).
For this WebQuest students will interpreted the systems of equations involving word
problems. The students will solve the word problems and interpreted the solution in context. The
students will work with simultaneous equations at the same time. The main reason this

Working With Polynomials

http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=184530
Content Standard: Arithmetic with Polynomials and Rational Expressions (A-APR 1).
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed
under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply
polynomials. (CDE, 2013, p. 65).

ASSIGNMENT 2.2A WEBQUEST HOTLIST

For this WebQuest the students will become more familiar with polynomials, understand
how to add, subtract, and multiply various polynomials, and also understand how polynomials
are used in the real world. This is a collaborative activity in which students will present their finding to
the class. The students will also present their research on how to apply polynomials to real world
problems.
