This worksheet consists of ten problems for finding horizontal, vertical, and oblique asymptotes of rational functions. Answer key is included. This worksheet goes along effectively with my previous post on 'Asymptotes' step-by-step procedures to find the asymptotes. I have been teaching pre-calculus for many years now and I found this very effective even with the weak students in my class.Having the hand-out aside, they are able to solve these problems and after successfully solving few pro

This worksheet consists of ten problems on division of polynomials using synthetic division. This can be used as an extra practice on this concept, a homework assignment, or as a mini quiz for algebra and precalculus/calculus students. Answer key is provided so that teachers can have a quick check on students work. This concept is basically for algebra students, but in precalculus/calculus, students have to use synthetic division a lot. By the time they reach precalculus/calculus, most of the

This interactive work packet on Radicals covers all concepts under Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II and Pre-Calculus. It starts with revising properties of exponents ( which I ask the students to write down during a classroom discussion and then build up concepts and properties and operations with radicals. This worksheet is made in such a format that space is given for each section so that students can write on it during guided learning. Practice questions are given for each section for i

This material explains short cut to find x and y intercepts of linear and non-linear equations. I use this procedure to help weaker students in the class. After going over the concept thoroughly and doing many practice problems in the class, i still have students who struggle with finding intercepts. According to them, the usual procedure is very lengthy, confusing and time consuming. For the same reason, some of them quit trying. When I show them this two step technique, they get very inter

This material is a piece of my smart board work which I make it available for my students as a reference for practice and homework assignments. Content is step-by-step procedure to find the real zeros of higher degree polynomial functions. If the degree of the polynomial functions is higher, students need to continue the procedure to get linear factors and hence to find the real zeros of given polynomial function.

This material explains step by step procedure to identify horizontal, vertical, and oblique asymptotes of a rational functions. I ask the students to print out(or copy) the procedure as a reference which they practice problems. By the time they complete practice problems, they are able to do more problems without looking at the steps.
