These two sorting activities will help your students practice identifying end behaviors for polynomial functions. They will classify each function according to its end behavior using cards with a mix of equations, explanations, and graphs. ** This resource is also available as part of a DISCOUNTED bundle: Functions Bundle The first activity has a set of 20 cards that are a mix of equations and explanations. These go with the first set of sorting pockets that have arrows representing the ends

Congruent, Similar, or Neither - Practice / Review: This activity will help your students practice identifying congruent and similar figures based on a variety of different given input information. They will decide whether each set of information represents a pair of similar figures, a pair of congruent figures, or neither. The 40 cards contain a mix of diagrams, figures on a coordinate plane, and word explanations. (Students must already know triangle sum theorem, basic transformations, prop

Slope of a Line - Practice / Review Activity for Slope in different forms: This Algebra sorting activity helps your students practice finding slope in different forms to determine whether the slope is positive, negative, undefined, or zero. Here is what's included: - 4 quick-fold pockets to hold sorted cards - 30 basic cards (mix of graphs, tables, ordered pairs, and equations with y already isolated) to offer a variety of practice with the slope formula and with visual representations - 10 opti

Derivatives & Second Derivatives - Graphing Concepts: This activity requires students to match up the graph of a function with the graphs of its 1st and 2nd derivative. This will help students to visually compare graphs and see how slopes at different points transfer to the graph of the derivative. The activity does not require differentiation, just the understanding of what a derivative means in terms of the graph. Students cut out 10 squares with the f'(x) and f''(x) graphs mixed up. The

Discriminants & Roots of Quadratic Equations - Practice / Review: This sorting activity helps your students practice finding and interpreting the discriminant of a quadratic equation. Here is what's included: - 3 quick- fold pockets to hold sorted cards - 30 basic cards (mix of graphs, word phrases, and equations) - 10 optional add-on cards with equations that are not already set equal to zero - 3 "answer cards" that list which cards should be in each pocket - optional "sorting mat" to offer

Parallel & Perpendicular Lines (Linear Equations) - Practice / Review: This sorting activity helps your students practice classifying pairs of lines as the same line, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, or neither. *Note- This item is also available as part of a DISCOUNTED bundle: Slope and Graphing Linear Equations BundleHere is what's included: - 4 quick - fold pockets to hold sorted cards - 40 sorting cards (mix of equations, graphs, slopes, ordered pairs, and word phrases) - 4 "answer ca

Systems of Linear Equations & Their Solutions - Practice / Review: This activity will help your students connect the big picture ideas of systems of linear equations. They will classify each system as having one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions using cards with a mix of equations, word phrases, and graphs. Here is what's included: - 4 quick - fold pockets to hold sorted cards - 40 sorting cards (mix of systems of equations, word phrases, and graphs) - 4 "answer cards" that

Categorizing Rational Functions & Identifying Vertical Asymptotes, Horizontal Asymptotes, Slant Asymptotes, and Holes: ** This resource is also available as part of a DISCOUNTED bundle: Functions BundleIn this activity, students cut off a strip of 6 rational function cards. After analyzing the degrees and factoring, they classify them into a chart. The functions must be categorized by how many of each type of asymptote or hole the graph would have. Once the cards have been attached, the stu

Sorting images, algebraic representations, word explanations, and diagrams to identify expressions, equations, and inequalities - Practice / Review: This activity will help your students practice differentiating between expressions, equations, and inequalities based on a variety of different given input information. They will decide which one each set of information represents. The 40 cards contain a mix of diagrams, pictures, algebraic representations, and word explanations. Here is what's

Quadrilateral Properties Sort - Practice / Review for Classifying Quadrilaterals: This activity will help your students practice using properties of quadrilaterals. They will classify each quadrilateral using cards with a mix of given information (diagrams, word phrases, side lengths, angle measures, and ordered pairs for vertices on a coordinate plane). ** This activity is also available as part of a DISCOUNTED bundle: Quadrilaterals Bundle Students will use the following properties & skil

This template will help you make a card sort using my unique quick-fold pockets. This works well for any subject and can fit right inside an interactive notebook. This is an editable PowerPoint file. For commercial use, your edited/finished file must be converted to a PDF. For classroom use, you can either print directly from the PowerPoint or save the file as a PDF. I have supplied options for 3, 4, 5, or 6 categories. You can make any size of card sets from 20-40 cards by inserting your o

Triangle Theorems & Properties - Practice / Review: This sorting activity will help your students practice using properties of triangles. They will classify each triangle as equilateral, isosceles, scalene, or impossible using cards with a mix of given information (diagrams, side lengths, angle measures, and ordered pairs for vertices on a coordinate plane). The following concepts are used to determine types of triangles: * Distance Formula * Base Angles of Isosceles Triangles * Triangle Su
