Fun With Saxon

Best working in pairs, students will be able to solve exponential and logarithmic equations. One partner does Set A and the other partner does Set B. They work on answering their own question. The solution for each number/set will be the same. If they aren't have the students find the mistake. They should repeat until they're done! Each version has 5 questions. Version A: Exponential Equations (Like Bases - Easy) Version B: Exponential Equations (Like Bases - Hard) Version C: Logarithmic Equatio

If you are teaching election theory through Discrete Math, Applied Math, or any other courses that has voting theory as a unit, this unit bundle is right for you! This unit covers the following and should take about 1 90-minute day to complete the lesson: An Introduction to ElectionsPlurality and Borda Count MethodsPlurality-with-Elimination and Pairwise Comparisons MethodsFairness Criteria & Arrow's Impossibility TheoremIn addition to notes, each lesson besides Intro to Election includes a revi

In this activity, students will be up around the classroom solving problems involving Sequences and Series. Teachers will assign students a number and their job is to solve the problem that has their number. Students will then find the next problem by finding that answer in one of the other cards. The first student/group that gets back to their original number wins! There are 20 cards (2 per page) Just cut them and place them around the classroom! Cards 1-6: Arithmetic Sequences (Examples: fin

There are 3 mazes in this product: MultiplicationDivisionMultiplication and DivisionStudents will loop around and either multiply/divide two complex numbers. This is good for a formative assessment at the end of class or as homework, since student's will be "self-checking" their answers along the way! CCSS Objectives:HSN.CN.A.1: Know there is a complex number i such that i^2=-1, and every complex number has the form a+b i with a and b real. HSN.CN.A.2: Use the relation i^2=-1 and the commutat

If you are teaching matrices through Discrete Math, Applied Math, or any other courses that has matrices as a unit, this unit is right for you! Please see the PREVIEW to get a glimpse of the unit and what each lesson entails. Introduction to Matrices (dimensions, special matrices, add, subtract, scalar multiplication)Multiplying Matrices (matrix multiplication)Advanced Operations (determinants, inverses, transposing)--> Suggested Activity (Determinants)Operations Review Operations Quiz (2 Fo

NOTE: This unit serves as an INTRODUCTION to number theory to high school students. Formal proofs are not included in this plan. This unit only touches a couple topics in number theory in the hopes of 1) students to persuade mathematics as their major or 2) realize the importance of number theory, especially how it relates to cryptography. If you are teaching number theory through Discrete Math, Applied Math, or any other courses that has number theory as a unit, this unit is right for you! Pl

Students will be able to condense and expand logarithms in this puzzle. Each condense logarithm will have an expanded logarithm (and vice versa) - students will need to match the correct ones. There are 20 puzzle pieces, so there are 10 pairs. The student answer sheet is "blank" instead of me labeling one half of the pieces (i.e. labeling A, B, C, etc.... on the answer sheet) because I wanted the students to actually find both the condensed and expanded logarithms instead of them immediately co

There are 2 mazes: Version 1: Converting Rectangular to Polar (r>0, within 0 to 2π)Version 2: Polar to RectangularYou might also like my converting polar and rectangular coordinates puzzle FREEBIE! ----- Note: This resource is for one teacher only.

In this activity, students will divide trinomials by a binomial using factoring. a=1, a > 1, Perfect Square Trinomials, and Differences of Two Squares are included. They will match their answers in the answer bank. They will use their answers to complete a sudoku puzzle! For distance learning, there is a Google Slides version for the activity! For an interactive preview, click here (must be signed in to Google Drive). You will get a link to the Google Slides version along with the hardcopy

Students will be able to find trigonometric expressions of any angle given another trigonometric value and where a trig function lies. They will add up each column and row to get a number and use the numbers to follow directions on how to "crack the code!" A Google Form is also included for students to check their code.

Students will be able to apply the Remainder and Factor Theorems in problems. Knowledge of Difference of Cubes will be needed for one card. Knowledge of the Rational Root Theorem may be helpful, but not needed since the emphasis is on the Remainder and Factor Theorems. Problems may include: Find the value of k given a divisor and remainderFind the value of k given a factor Find the remainder given a divisor and dividend Find the remainder given a divisor and graphFind the other roots given a fac

UPDATED DEC. 2020! I have updated the previous 10 mazes so it is aesthetically better. This product now has 14 mazes, ranging from a typical geometry to pre-calculus class. If you would like a specific maze (a la carte), I can post a separate product just for that maze. Please see the preview for each individual maze. Finding Missing AngleFinding Missing SideFinding Trigonometric Value (using Right Triangles)Law of Cosines and SinesArea of a Triangle (Version 1 – SSS and SAS)Area of a Triangle (

NOTE: This activity includes horizontal stretches/compressions and reflection over the y-axis. If you do not teach these transformations, I have a very similar activity that do not have these transformations here. Students will be able to write a new function g(x) given a list of transformations. Transformations include vertical shifts (up/down), horizontal shifts (left/right), vertical stretches, vertical compressions, and reflection over the x-axis. Horizontal Stretches/Compressions and Ref

There are two versions of the variation maze: One with just direct and inverse variation (they will also need to find the constant of variation for some problems)One with direct, inverse, joint, and combined variation (they will also need to find the constant of variation for some problems)The use of square roots and squared variables are used in some problems. Please see the preview for sample problems. NOTE: This resource is for one teacher only. If you would like to share this resource with

In this activity, students will find basic derivatives, using the Power, Sum, and Difference Rules. Each solution will have a color associated with it. Students can then freely color in the Fibonacci Spiral! Artwork by Sarah Pecornio. Used with permission.

Students will be able to find the equation of a circle given multiple representation. This includes completing the square, graphs, endpoints of a diameter, and so on. Please see the preview to see what types of representations are used. After matching each card with its representation, students will add each column to get a number.
