Need something to kick off the school year? This activity is an "escape the room" that serves as a pretest so that you can gauge your Precalculus students' prior knowledge. This activity usually spans 2-3 class periods. At the end of the activity, the students get a passcode which I used to let them unlock my cell phone which has a message displayed that tells them the location of their prize.

After delivering the lesson on the relationships between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines, do this activity! It reinforces the main concepts by turning the boring worksheet into a game! The last slide is the answer key.

Want to show your students an application of quadratic functions? Take them to the gym with this activity, play a couple of games of knockout, and show them how to model their shot using quadratic functions. This activity is designed for algebra 2 students as it does have a tiny bit of trig (the students just use a formula with a trig function in it). This activity leads them through it and works great with groups of three.

This is an all time favorite during my data unit for algebra 1. The students love to argue about Monopoly strategies, so I made an activity where they get to analyze a strategy for winning at the game. The activity took me a while to make because you will notice that (1) the monopoly board reads in one direction and (2) the print version of this makes it super easy for students to flip back and forth between the board and the table/graph. Enjoy!
