15+ years of teaching high school college prep mathematics including serving as department chair at a private catholic school in Texas. Currently, teaching high school mathematics at a small public school in New Hampshire. I am currently partnering with a local community college to provide university credit in two courses - Quantitative Reasoning and Calculus.
Students will watch the TEDTalk How to spot a misleading graph - Lea Gaslowitz then do some research to find misleading graphs in the media! Objective. Students will research TWO misleading graphs, then create a google doc with those graphs and provide a written analysis. This is an individual assignment. Opportunity to explain... - Cherry Picking - Vertical axis manipulation - Horiztonal axis proportion - the author's motivation to graphically manipulate data Rubric is provided.
Here are my Guided Notes I use with students for the "Solving Quadratic Equation" unit. This is Part 2 of a 2 (two) part set of guided notes. Part 1 is also in my TPT store. When I teach each function family, I teach it as two units - Graphing and Solving. This document contains the Solving Quadratics Unit which I complete after the “graphing” quadratic equations. I find this approach places importance on understanding the graph first before diving into the nitty gritty that is solving quadrati
Here are my Guided Notes I use with students for the "Graphing Quadratic Equation" unit. This is Part 1 of a 2 (two) part set of guided notes. When I teach each function family, I teach it as two units - Graphing and Solving. This document contains the Graphing Quadratics Unit which I do first before officially “solving” quadratic equations. Although you will see much of the overlap occurs which makes teh Solving Quadratics unit a breeze! Leveling. This set of guided notes is specifically for
You can complete this project using a partner or solo (I recommend partners). Students will create a Google Slides Presentation to present to class of a Road Trip. They choose the destination! They choose the food and hotels! They choose the activities! This activity can be modified to be as difficult or straightforward as you like depending on grade/level. Calculations: percent, tax, total budget, and planning Digital Skills: Google Maps, Google Docs and Google Sheets Rubric Included
Summative Assessment 1, Unit 1: Graphing Quadratic Equations Unit Algebra II Honors Multiple choice, graphing, write the equation of quadratic in standard, vertex, and intercept, and application problem.
Students create a timeline in Canva from online research of any past or present mathematician. Template and directions provided! Simply post the link to the template in Canva and let students go! This is an activity that requires very little direction for students, but is engaging and provides student interest to lead the way. This activity is great for end of the year or end of a unit, substitute or emergency plans, and can be synchronous or asynchronous!
Students will complete this open research write up to learn about current trends in Biomass successes and uses. Students will also practice their research skills using Google Scholar, write a professional report, and are encouraged to state their opinion/reaction to what they learn. This write up was completed with senior (12th grade) in a Green Technology class. This was the summative for the Biomass or Bioenergy unit. Formative and Summative Rubrics included
Review Test for Exponential and Logarithm Functions Precalculus Algebra II This document contains a multi-question type review (multiple choice, open response, True False, and fill in the blank) appropriate for the end of a traditional exponential and logarithm function unit. The answer key is provided as well. This is a product I have used as a review in an on-level pre-calculus course, however, it would be appropriate for a stronger Algebra II class. Problems include: - Asymptotes - Evaluatin
First and Second Derivative Graphical Properties of a Function Digital Activity - Mystery Puzzle. Calculus students will match the description of a graphical property of f(x). Each incorrect answer will light of red while correct responses are green and reveal one piece of the mystery image. This is a self checking activity!!! Concepts of f'(x) and f''(x) include f(x) Increasing and Decreasing First and Second Derivative TestPoints of Inflection of f(x)Relative Max and Relative Min on f(x)Conc
In this activity, students will evaluate a variety of finite limits which require TYPES OF LIMITS - factoring including square root factoring or conjugate - arithmetic or plug-in limits - remove the discontinuity - limits at vertical asymptotes or indeterminate DNE limits - absolute value - noncontinuous Directions: Cut out each parent function’s equation from the bottom and match them with the correct graph. Ensure to show your work or explain your reasoning in each problem box! Great activ
