Use this assignment as an in class activity or homework for students to practice finding the vertex and axis of symmetry when given a quadratic function in standard form.
Word problems for slope intercept form. Used to work on writing equations, finding the value of the independent variable given a dependent variable value, finding the dependent variable's value that makes the two equations equal, and justifying an answer using mathematical evidence. This assignment can also be used in connection with graphing slope intercept form and discussing the intersection point of two lines being the solution.
Multiplying binomials using box method or foiling. Two different versions of the same worksheet - one with charts to complete the box method, one with space to foil. Includes answer key!
Assignment that allows students to identify function families by examining graphs and functions. Also includes an extend your thinking prompt that allows students to create their own function for each family to increase the rigor of this assigment.
Examples of absolute value function transformations with a student organizer to explore transformation rules and make predictions about how the rule works.
This assignment can be used as an individual assignment or group assignment. I like to use it in my classroom as a formative assessment after we discuss variables, equations, and writing equations. The assignment includes practice with writing equations, comparing constants, using coefficients, and solving equations in one variable. It also includes solving for multiple variables using guessing and checking. I use this assignment before I teach graphing and solving equations with multiple v
Give this assignment to students to creatively practice with the distance formula. Students will act as if they are working for a company that is designing and calculating distances in a new neighborhood. This assignment practices procedural fluency with the distance formula, critical thinking, and mathematical reasoning. Also reviews skills such as rounding and graphing coordinate points.
I usually use this activity for students to explore the internet and come up with their own notes on parallel and perpendicular lines. I will let students use their phones or computers to look up definitions and examples and fill in the boxes with whatever they find. Then I will have them share their findings with a partner, then with the class. This can also be used as a review, formative assessment, or quiz after a lesson about parallel and perpendicular lines.
Worksheet for students to practice writing slope intercept form equations, graphing a given scenario, and explore when the scenario parameters change. This can be given as homework, an in class assignment, or an assessment.
Use these guided notes and examples to practice and teach factoring quadratic equations to find the roots when a = 1. Included is a practice set of problems to give students (2 different sets of 3 problems) and a key to the notes and practice problems.
Worksheet that works on practice writing equations from scenarios, solving equations given a value for the variable, and comparing changes in the scenarios and how those changes affect the equation and outcome. Also prompts students to reflect on their math and check their work with a collaborative partner.
Use this worksheet for students to practice factoring quadratic equations and solving for roots when a = 1. Two different versions of the worksheet are included (to deter copying) with an answer key for both.
