I have grown a bit tired of the “standard” old word problems. There is so much data in the world today that the applications just jump out of the Internet. Thought I might share some of these, with the relevant topics, as I write them. These resources are shared freely and I ask only that you cite the source with CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 licensing and a link to these resources.

Abbreviated link to this page: http://bit.ly/ContempAlgebra

Each link below will take you to a viewable Google Doc.

  • Make a copy of the Google Doc if you’d like to make alterations.
  • If you want to assign to students via the web, you’ll want to include a link to your copy.
  • I sometimes make small changes to the activities and these links will still be the same after the activity is altered.
