Algebra Fun

I give this to my students as we begin reviewing for state testing. I taught in the State of Ohio and this aligns with the end of course exam required for Ohio Graduation Requirements (AIR State Testing). This summarizes key topics that show up on the AIR test every year for Algebra 1. I used the AIR practice test and release items from 2016-2023 to determine the key concepts. I gave this to my students as a way to prepare for the state test.

This is my answer key that goes along with my Zombie Apocalypse activity to teach exponential functions.

I use this activity when reviewing factoring trinomials in Algebra 1. The questions range in difficulty and include trinomials when a=1 and when a does not equal 1. Students will create their own bingo card by randomly placing the answers into the boxes on their bingo card. I then display the questions on the board one at a time. Students factor each trinomial and then look for the answer on their bingo card. My class period is only 40 minutes. Therefore, when one person gets a bingo, we kee

This is a great review activity of perpendicular and parallel lines. I hang the seven questions up around my classroom. Each question has an answer written at the bottom. However, the answer does not match that question. I use the handout numbered 1-7 for each student to take around the room and solve each question (I then have them turn in their handout at the end of class). Students can start at any number. They will solve that question and then look for their answer on one of the other

This is a review of Quadratic Functions that model the AIR End of Course Exam in the State of Ohio. I use this as a review at the end of the unit and I allow students to use Desmos since they have access to that online calculator on the AIR test. It's a great way to have students review Quadratic Functions while also preparing for the AIR Test.

This is a great review once your students have learned how to graph a parabola from both standard and vertex form. I have also used this as a review assignment right before the chapter test.
