This is a slide show with 10 slides to teach students how to factor out the GCF (Greatest common factor). There is a warmup that accesses prior knowledge. Example problems that are worked out, and problems for students to try on their own. The answer for each example problem is in the speakers notes.

This is a guided note and introduction activity to the distance formula. The activity starts with a basic understanding of distance with horizontal and vertical lines on a coordinate plane. It then asks students to discover how to find the distance of diagonal lines using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Activity where a Dan the triangle must go home. Students use rigid motions: translations, reflections, and rotations to get Dan home. Students must describe their work and reasoning. This activity includes a 4 point rubric to help facilitate grading and expectations for students.

Easy to follow and teach guide to combining functions. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and combining function. Complete with color coded examples and practice problems.

Unit exam with directions, fully formatted. Has 15 questions with sub questions assessing student knowledge in: quadraticsVertex form Standard formVertexIdentifying accurately if the vertex is a minimum or a maximumx and y intercepts line of symmetryFunctionsbasic parent functionhow to shift and transform parent functioncombination of functionshow to solve basic functions

This is a guided note activity that supports students in introducing exponents and exponential functions. There are several points in the notes that allow students to self discover some of the key components of exponential functions. They use their own intuitive thinking skills in order to come up with clear conclusions about exponential functions. This has been a tried and true activity for my Algebra 1 class and can be used as an introduction activity or a refresher for exponential functions

An Interactive notebook foldable. It is a how to guide to convert decimals, percents and fractions. there are two versions. 1 with space to create your own examples, and one with step by step examples.

This is meant to be given after students have learned about the different type of rigid motions. The assignment can be tweaked to include translations and reflections. Students are asked to write about their process of the mathematics. A similar problem with an exemplar is also attached so that students can see the expectations when writing about mathematics.

This is meant to be a homework assignment. Before starting a lesson in rigid motion and specifically in reflection, have students complete this assignment. The product is in word so that you can tailor it to your school and your students.

Here is an activity to help your students practice parallel lines and angle vocabulary in an interactive and fun game. Academic vocabulary used for the game Parallel Alternate interior angles Alternate exterior angles Vertical angles Corresponding Angles Same Side Interior angle Linear Pair

This is a guided note activity meant to introduce students to the important parts of a parabola including the vertex, line of symmetry, and roots. It also includes a teacher answer key so that it is easy to use.

Students sort through standard form equations, and factored form equations and match them to the appropriate quadratic graph. Teacher answer key is included

This is a simple 2 page assessment on geometry standards. Assessment Parallel line vocabulary and theoremsTriangle mid-segment theoremtriangle sum, exterior angles, isosceles triangles

Quiz to assess if students know how to simplify imaginary and complex numbers.

This is a guided note activity meant to introduce students to the parabola and some basic information about parabola. It also includes a teacher answer key so that it is easy to use.

Graphic organizer to help students share their understanding of slope. Includes instructions and a rubric.

This is a 3 question quiz on whether students can identify key components in a parabola and whether students can graph a parabola. Includes 2 versions.

This is a 2 questions quiz for translations.

This is a worksheet used to introduce horizontal vs vertical lines.

How do you organize your groups? This is group roles based on a card deck. There are 4 group roles: Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, Clubs. Each member of the group has a role, one practical and one that challenges and supports their group academically. You can use the suits in the card deck to randomly pick a student. "The student who is in table 3 hearts, please answer the question". You can also change how your students talk to each other in groups. "Reds partner together and Blacks partner to
