Description
Bring creativity into your Algebra classroom with this engaging Polynomials Unit Concept Assessment! Students will work together to solve a problem in the context of shipping a box at the post office.
This math assessment is perfect for Algebra 2 or Pre-Calculus students. The project is designed with two components:
- Partner/Collaboration: Students will collaborate to understand the problem, create equations and a graph, and start to interpret the context.
- Individual Assessment: Students will work individually to build off of their group work by verifying their answers algebraically, explaining their process, and justifying their answers to show understanding.
Whatβs Included:
- Student instructions for both partner work and an individual assessment.
- Detailed rubric assessing mathematical accuracy, justification, and interpretation of the problem.
- Guided prompts for explaining domain, intercepts, maximums, etc.
- Reflection questions to assess conceptual understanding and metacognition
Skills Covered:
- Graphing polynomial functions
- Creating polynomial equations that model a situation
- Finding key features of polynomial functions like the vertex and roots
- Mathematical justification and written communication
Perfect for:
βοΈ Unit concept assessments
βοΈ End-of-unit projects
βοΈ Collaborative learning activities
βοΈ Distance learning or digital classrooms
βοΈ Math enrichment or extension activities
Standards Alignment:
Aligned with High School Functions standards in Common Core and adaptable for various state standards.
β¨ Why Teachers Love It:
This assessment enables students to demonstrate mathematical mastery and apply concepts learned in class in a student-centered manner, promoting critical thinking and peer collaboration. The combination of art and algebra makes the activity both memorable and reinforces key concepts.
