Do your students need a little bit more practice with determining the measures of missing angles? This packet includes 5 separate angle worksheets that involve understanding the angles relationships when there are parallel lines cut by a transversal line. Certain problems require that the students to know that triangles add up to 180 degrees. Angle pair covered include: alternate interior, alternate exterior, corresponding, same-side interior (consecutive interior) as well as linear pairs and v

My first set of angles puzzles have been a hot seller so I wanted to post some new puzzles for those of you who have found them to be helpful. This particular set contains 7 angle puzzles with 7 complete answer keys. In order to fill in the angle puzzles students must be familiar with the angle relationships formed by two parallel lines and a transversal. Additionally they would have to be familiar with the triangle sum theorem, complementary and supplementary angles, etc. If you have alrea

My first two sets of angles puzzles have had many downloads so I wanted to post some new puzzles for those of you who have found them to be helpful. This particular set contains 5 angle puzzles with 5 complete answer keys. In order to fill in the angle puzzles students must be familiar with the angle relationships formed by two parallel lines and a transversal.

Need more resources when you are teaching logic to your geometry classes? Are you teaching geometry for the first time and need to wrap your mind around the concepts yourself? The books never seem to have enough of the same type of problem for the students to practice so I started making my own. This activity is a new version (all new examples) of an old one that I still have posted. It contains 20 conditional statements that your students can turn into converse, inverse and contrapositive st

Are you teaching factoring to a lower level math class or perhaps younger group of students? While factoring itself can be easy I have found that certain classes of mine have trouble with signs. The higher level students are pretty good with using mental math and trial and error but this process tends to frustrate other learners. Enclosed you will find two different versions of a reference chart that will allow students to determine the signs for factoring a very basic trinomial. These charts

Are you tired of the using the same old workbook pages to teach systems of equations? This assignment will add a splash of color in your classroom! It this activity students will graph 8 lines using 8 different colors. (Even the most mature algebra student enjoys using some colored pencils and markers to spice up their homework!) Once the lines are graphed then the students will answer 30 questions about the various intersection points. This is a great activity for students who need a refre

Are you looking for ways to relate real world concepts to your curriculum? Often students will work harder on a topic when they find that it is relevant. I created this very basic table for students to fill in using the percent change equation. Using the inflation calculator from the Bureau of Labor and statistics (http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl) I listed the comparative costs of goods in different decades. Students will compare each decade on the chart and determine if there was a p

Are your kids struggling with systems of inequalities? Are they bored with all of the traditional book work? This 16-problem packet will give your students practice graphing systems of inequalities but allow them to have fun while they do it! This packet gives 4 examples to start and reviews the rules for shading half-planes as well as the rules for solid or dotted lines. The last 4 examples are practice problems that include horizontal and vertical lines which create "no solution" proble

Do you need additional resources for your students? After years of teaching Algebra I have created this study guide that covers most of the basic topics covered in a linear equation section. This study guide has 6 sections that build upon each other to ensure that students are able to write equations in slope-intercept form. Sections Part 1 - Overview of slope with written responses (10 questions) Part 2 - Finding slope from 2 points ( 10 questions) Part 3 - Graphing Equations (8 questions)

Are your students having trouble converting linear equations back into Standard Form? Are you running out of problems to do with your students? This study guide includes 25 problems and step by step directions for converting them into standard form. (Ax + By = C) Most importantly, I have included a key with each problem written out with all of the work and notes/hints. I always like to copy an answer key for my students the day after I assign the work so that they can see what they are doing

Are your students struggling with Systems of Equations? My algebra students could use a lot of extra practice with this concept. It takes a while for their brains to go through the same steps that mine do as a teacher. I created this study guide to help "wire" their brains for solving systems of equations. The worksheet starts out simple and just gets them to look at the problem and develop a game plan. By the end they are choosing their own method of elimination. Many teachers show multipl
