Students match 10 factored-form polynomial equations to their graphs in this quick algebra activity that tests student understanding of graph bounces, crosses, a values and zeros in polynomial function graphs.

I use this quick activity as an introduction to polynomial sketching so students make connections between polynomial graphs and their equations. Students then go on to sketch the graphs in this longer task cards activity.
