This is a great scaffolded introduction to linear programming. I use this every year to introduce minimizing and maximizing profits using linear functions. It provides students with an understandable context for the numbers involved while guiding them through the various steps of the problem.

This is the second WS in the linear programming unit. These problems will scaffold student ability from guided practice to working on their own. This particular problem address situations with more than two constraints and allows students to practice their systems of equations solving skills as well.

This workbook is meant to bring students from zero understanding to full understanding of each of the exponent and logarithm rules. The formatting of this was originally made for creating a flip-book, but I've decided that it has grown too large and needs to be it's own workbook. Included are problems that are very basic and concrete to get at the idea, and problems that are far more abstract and require the use of the rules and only the rules to solve. I like the format because it forces stu

This is the only graphic organizer you need and can represent weeks worth of lessons in just one sheet. Students will pull this out every time they forget how to factor, complete the square or use the quadratic formula. It will save you a lot of breath telling students to pull this sheet out and reference it every time they ask you "how do you factor again?" I have it printed on green tag board every year to make it easy to find and long-lasting.
