Description
This is a project I have used in both Algebra II and PreCalculus classes to evaluate the Rational Root Theorem. I give them five problems to analyze and determine all the possible real roots using the Rational Root Theorem, Synthetic Division, and the Quadratic Formula. I have used this several time and been happy with the results.
While you (and the students) can verify their answers with a graphing calculator, what's important is the explanation of how they completed the work. The file gives detailed requirements and expectations for the final product.
I've also included an in-class version as well as an answer key for the overall roots.
See more unit lessons (specifically in Algebra II, AP Calculus, AP Statistics) at my store.

This was a nice way to assess than the regular test.
Great resource! Thanks!
I'm glad you liked it. I have a lot of other Algebra 2 lessons (as well as AP Stats and AP Calculus) so be sure to check them out.
Thanks!
great activity
Thanks David- let me know if you are looking for any specific lesson or topic in Algebra II or other classes.
Used this as the basis for a project. Provided a good starting point.
Thanks Rachel- the RRT is an important topic and I'm glad this helped. Let me know if you need any other lessons or help with resources for a topic.
Really helped me determine which students understood it and which students only understood the procedures. Thanks
great activity
I adapted this as a group quiz, and added a calculator component. It worked out very well!

CCSSHSA-APR.B.2
Know and apply the Remainder Theorem: For a polynomial 𝘱(𝘹) and a number 𝘢, the remainder on division by 𝘹 – 𝘢 is 𝘱(𝘢), so 𝘱(𝘢) = 0 if and only if (𝘹 – 𝘢) is a factor of 𝘱(𝘹).
CCSSHSA-APR.D.6
Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write 𝘢(𝘹)/𝘣(𝘹) in the form 𝘲(𝘹) + 𝘳(𝘹)/𝘣(𝘹), where 𝘢(𝘹), 𝘣(𝘹), 𝘲(𝘹), and 𝘳(𝘹) are polynomials with the degree of 𝘳(𝘹) less than the degree of 𝘣(𝘹), using inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system.
