*Note*--in the preview you can see Word trying to correct things! Of course these annotations won't print. Contact me if you have a problem! This is my version of Lunch Detention passes that can be quickly filled out. I've added three more types to make them more usable: the pass w/o the words "white/yellow", a Break Detention pass, and a generic Detention pass. The pass has places to circle the most common things a teacher would normally have to write--day of the week, month, day, etc. I origi

This is a collection of different graphing grids I've created for use in my trigonometry portion of Algebra 3 class. I couldn't find anything already made like this, so I created one. Then I did several iterations for different proportions, labels, sizes, etc. There are 8 different styles and therefore 16 front/back pages. Some have only grids; some have grids and numbers. Some have numbers and no grid. Some have it in part or in all with more and less grids per page! The preview shows a few exa

It's a measurement war! Which is better--English Standard Units, or the SI Metric Units? Put the students to a test. This activity is designed to look like a lab, in essence. The students make a hypothesis about which is easier--using Standard Units or Metric Units. Some will realize this is a trick question; others will stick with what they know best. The testing section asks them to convert from yards to inches and miles to yards. Then, they are tested using the same numbers but from meters to

This is a triangular shaped Element puzzle—now with 4 different versions of different difficulties! The skills needed for this assignment are: a. Finding atomic number, atomic mass, atomic symbol, and atomic name. b. Computing the number of neutrons. c. Being aware of the latin names for some of the elements (ones with different symbols from their names only; ex. ferrium, natrium). d. Being aware of what the most abundant element in the universe is (hydrogen) e. Basic knowledge o

This is a set of 4 answer hunts: Basic Derivative Answer Hunt (a free resource already--click here to get it free even if you do not want the bundle!)--updated!Product Rule Answer HuntChain Rule Answer HuntBasic Integral Answer HuntEach Answer Hunt activity will last about 40 minutes. I use them at the end of each section for a fun(ish) activity that gets your students up and moving around! Each activity has a "Worksheet" to show work and indicate an answer. The basic idea of each activity is:

See bottom for Version Changes: 04/22/2020: Added two newer, updated versionsDescription: Using no more than the power rule and trig derivatives, students will work to find the derivatives of various functions. Students start with a poster and complete the derivative; they then search for the poster that matches that answer. They then do the derivative there. You get the idea now, right? I also have a other Calculus Answer Hunt activities in my store: Product Rule Answer HuntChain Rule Answer H

Note: These are relatively easy. For one, students have to do them standing (if you post them around the room as intended) on a clipboard. I plan to add another version to this that requires more work (when I can! This is 02/27/2019). Anyone who has purchased this will be able to download it then. Thanks!Are you tired of students just sitting around doing book work or worksheets? Then my Answer Hunt activities are for you. Students must work with partners to "hunt" for answers to various proble

Using the product rule, students will find the derivatives of these functions. Uses standard Power Rule and Trigonometry Functions. Students start with any poster and complete the derivative at the bottom; they then search for the poster that has a matching answer at top. From here they repeat the process until all 10 equations have been correctly completed. I also have other Calculus Answer Hunts in my store: Basic Derivative Hunt (free!)

This is a set of 6 full-page 4 piece puzzles sets for students to match correctly. The top left piece is the original function. The top right is the derivative of that function. The bottom left is the minimum and maximum points; And the bottom right is the graph of the function. Using calculus, students match the pieces together. Skills needed are finding maximums and minimums using one of many tests students learn right after learning how to find different derivatives. Print a set of the 6 p

This is both a review worksheet and a Test for regular calculus when studying Extrema (maximums and minimums). Keys for both are included. Students must know these concepts: -Finding extrema via critical points -Finding extrema using the first derivative test -Find points of inflection and concavity -Finding extrema using the second derivative test I also have a other Calculus Answer Hunt activities in my store: Basic Derivative Answer Hunt (free!)

Here is a hands-on Tarsia puzzle covering the first 9 identities covered in most Trigonometry and/or Precalculus classes. This is a basic activity that is good for the beginning of the unit or as a review for memorization. You can differentiate easily by using the different levels of difficultly selectively. This is a triangular shaped Basic Identities Tarsia puzzle with 3 different difficulties, but a single solution. It does not have any multi-step identity simplification/verification type qu

NOTE: Thumbnail is currently blurry--actual product is not!Engage students with this Interactive Hands-On Match'em Up! You get both Paper and Online versions where students place Tiles into the correct category. This Activity has students define and sort examples of Extensive vs. Intensive Properties. These two concepts are sometimes difficult to convey to students at the beginning of Chemistry. Help them sort them out by...sorting them out! You get the same Assignment in 3 Versions: Color

This is includes both a review worksheet and a test for regular calculus when studying the Derivative. Students must know these concepts: -the definition of the derivative -finding the derivative using the definition -using the constant and power rules -using the product and quotient rule -using derivatives of trigonometric functions -finding 2nd and 3rd derivatives Includes key for the Test--however, the review does not have a key at this moment (misplaced it!). I plan to upload it asap. An

Using the chain rule, students will find the derivatives of these functions inside of functions. Uses standard Power Rule and Trigonometry Functions. Students start with any poster and complete the derivative at the bottom; they then search for the poster that has a matching answer at top. From here they repeat the process until all 10 equations have been correctly completed. I also have a other Answer Hunts in my store: Basic Derivative Hunt (free!)

This is a test to use after introducing coterminal angles, reference angles, the 6 trig functions, and how to do basic trig function problems knowing the 2 or more sides. Using the formulas to find the angles, other than a chart, is not in this test. I will upload the key later.

This is an editable reward pass/ticket. I used it to let students go to the bathroom, water fountain, or their locker, but I also used it for a late homework pass and for rewards.

The ultimate Hall Pass. They are easy to use, and are editable so you can fill in what you want and delete what you don't need. Add teachers, destinations, periods--anything you want. :) This is set up to print four per page. After customizing it and printing, just circle or highlight what/where/and/when, and you've just saved some time writing passes.

Edit: added other versions of the same form. Note: concerning the preview generated above: there are no big space on the sides and the lines look normal. Not sure why it shows like that. My school has now adopted this as the universal Hall Pass Log Sheet. I have added other versions I have used and/or toyed with. Original Description: This is a simple but useful form. It's original purpose is to log student out-of-class time. However, it is editable, so feel free to use as you wish. For my purpo
