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.

Great way to show growth early with this. Give one to a student and then another at the end of the unit to see what they learned.

After teaching function composition, use this pretest/posttest to see if your students are ready to venture into inverse functions. This is also a great way to begin an exponential/logarithmic function unit.

Complex numbers are a fascinating topic to me, but my students get way too hung up on the term "imaginary". Use this pre and posttest to show how your students went from zero knowledge of this topic to heroes of the topic.

Solving literal equations can be scary. I mean math should have at least a couple of numbers in it, right? Use this pre and posttest to show how much your students have grown from your lessons!

Great little pretest and posttest for algebra students first learning about functions. Cut along the dotted line and use one as a pretest and the other as a posttest to show growth.

Need to show growth for your admin?? How about giving your students a pretest before teaching this topic and then doing the same thing afterwards to see how much they've grown? Sounds great to me!

Cut this into four separate pieces. Each student has ten minutes to complete as a pretest for this topic. Then, later on in the unit do the same thing to measure growth.

This is the homework I assign after we do our lessons on constructions. Make sure to send the tools home with the students!! Also, don't forget to check out Euclidea (phone app). I don't work for them, but it is a great way to get your students to practice!

About the store

Experience

I have taught for five years in the public sector and 2 years in the private sector in Missouri. Before this, I worked for a well-known educational technology company, where I created math formative and summative items that fit the state standards of all 50 states.

Teaching style

In my classroom, I take a constructivist approach allowing my students to facilitate the learning. My job is to create the activities to keep them topical and guide them along a path of success. I am a staunch practitioner of a thinking classroom where my students spend the majority of the time collaborating around the solution of a problem up at the boards around my classroom. To outsiders, if might be chaos. We just call it learning.

My own education history

I attended Southeast Missouri State University to earn a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education - Mathematics and a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics. My passion for math led me to attend grad school at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and earn my Master's in Mathematics. I have over 80 hours of training when it comes to working with students with autism, ESOL, and high risk students.
