Calculus Weekly Review

How many times do your calculus students make algebra mistakes? How many times do you think to yourself – they understand the calculus concepts, but keep messing up the algebra?

This is a collection of 15 worksheets that will help students review key algebra and trigonometry concepts. I give my students one of these worksheets on Monday and it is due on Friday every week throughout first semester. Each worksheet is a homework grade worth 10 points. (Most pages have 10 problems – some have 7 or 8 depending on the length of the problems.)

• Factoring

• Solving logarithmic and exponential equations

• Convenient trig values

• Writing equations of lines
