Want to create a student-led learning environment? Give your students the opportunity to practice their graphing skills as well as their ability to come to conclusions with this activity. In this activity, students graph linear functions and use their equations to discover the relationships between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines ALL ON THEIR OWN!

This standard is a tough one to cover, so I built this activity to help lead my students through it. I split up the class into groups of threes and have them work through it at a whiteboard. I roam the room and listen to their discussions and try to help only if there is no activity within the group. If you are interested in a thinking classroom, this is an easy one to try.

Domain and Range are so tough for my students to understand. The first part of this activity is a mini lesson where either the teacher or student-led groups discover how to draw boxes on the axes to help write the domain and range in interval notation. This activity has a Check for Understanding so that you can see at the end of the mini lesson how much your students have grown on this topic.

I use this activity as a way to introduce my algebra 2 students to an application of function composition, proving that two functions are inverses. The activity is math heavy, so I recommend that it is used for your more advanced students, but the challenge is good for all.

This standard is a really tough one to cover because it is worded so unnaturally and is found within a lot of different units. My way to cover this is in algebra 1 by using the simple example of the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle and then giving the students a couple of examples to work with that are familiar to them. Try it out!

I found that my students never truly understood the definition of a solution in terms of a function with regards to a table, graph, ordered pairs, and a function. This activity also includes a Check for Understanding at the end.

This is a very mathy activity where advanced students get to learn the formal proof process for showing parts of the closure of the set of complex numbers with respect to addition and multiplication. This is only for an advanced class and is meant as a challenge to get them to think of math as a language of understanding and not just the applications of numerical values.

This minilesson is a great way to guide students through the whys and hows for solving absolute value equations. Use the Check for Understanding at the end to get feedback from your students on what they learned.

This activity is a wonderful way to introduce Algebra II students how to derive a formula by testing two different versions of the quadratic formula. It is heavy on the math notation, but don't let that scare you. If you can convince your students to try this, they can really show growth with their understanding of quadratic functions.

This standard is very hard to cover. This activity is an attempt to use student language to help them learn how to derive a formula that is really nice to know. I would recommend that you lead them through this activity, but if your students are more advanced, let them attack it in groups.
