This project is an assessment for a unit on conic sections. Students will choose an image to upload to DESMOS then analyze the picture in order to write the equation of the conic it represents. Students need to make sure their equation is a good fit for their picture. This is a great assessment for an Algebra 2 or PreCalculus course! Grading rubric is included. PreCalculus Standard: 1.02 Use the quadratic relations (parabola, circle, ellipse, hyperbola) to model and solve problems; justify r
Easy to follow guided notes with answer key included. Homework sheet is included as well with an answer key. Guided notes can be used to teach key features of parabolas including vertex, focus, directrix, and focal length. Students also get practice graphing and writing equations in standard conic form.
In this digital activity students will match both horizontal and vertical ellipse conic section equations to the graph. This is an awesome activity for distance learning with easy grading! When the students have matched the correct answers a mathematical term will be formed. There are eight equations to match with a graph and six problems to match the equations to key features. Students should be familiar key features of conic sections such as vertices, center, foci, and major/minor axis. Note:
Students will graph logarithm graphs using transformation rules. Transformations include horizontal and vertical shift as well as vertical reflections. They will then guess their partner's "secret graph" by asking yes or no questions to narrow down their choices. Digital guess tracker is included to help keep student's accountable! Easy and fun review game!

In this activity students will drag and drop polar coordinates to the right location on a polar coordinate graph. There are nine points to plot and each are color coded. An answer key is included to make for easy grading. Perfect for no prep lessons! Note: This activity is in Google Slides and students will need a free Google account to access it. This is a digital activity however it can be printed from Google Drive. Although the activity can be printed a pdf version has not been included.
In this digital activity students will convert polar and rectangular equations and match them with their counterpart. This is an awesome activity for distance learning with easy grading! When the students have matched the correct answers a mathematical term will be formed. There are eight equations in polar to convert to rectangular and eight equations in rectangular to convert to polar. Note: This activity is in Google Slides and students will need a free Google account to access it. This
This interactive game is a great way for students to review operations with radical expressions. This resource includes simplifying radicals with variables, multiplying, dividing, adding, and subtracting radical expressions. This includes multiplying binomials. Make sure this resource is appropriate for your class. How to play: Students will work an entire row of problems with three problems in a category. As they solve, they will find the sum of the solutions for each of the questions in a ro
In this digital activity students will match both horizontal and vertical hyperbola conic section equations to the graph. This is an awesome activity for distance learning with easy grading! When the students have matched the correct answers a mathematical term will be formed. There are six equations to match with a graph and three problems to match the equations to key features. Students should be familiar key features of conic sections such as vertices, center, foci, and asymptote slopes. Note
This Google slides activity has students find the missing chord, secant, or tangent length in a circle using circle theorems. There are eight diagrams with matching solutions. This activity is easy to grade because the correct answers form a mathematical term! Great for distance learning! Note: This resource is a digital resource meant to be used in Google Drive. You and your students will need a free google account. This resource could be printed however a pdf is not included!
This interactive game is a great way for students to review exponential & logarithmic equations! This resource includes exponential equation with like and unlike bases, logarithmic equations with no properties and logarithmic equations with product, quotient, power and 1-1 properties. Make sure this resource is appropriate for your class. How to play: Students will work an entire row of problems with three problems in a category. As they solve, they will find the sum of the solutions for each
Students will graph sine and cosine graphs using transformations. Transformations include vertical reflections, amplitude, period, and vertical shift. They will then guess their partner's "secret graph" by asking yes or no questions to narrow down their choices. Digital guess tracker is included to help keep student's accountable! Easy and fun review game!
Note sheet includes examples for converting polar equations to rectangular and vice versa. Equations include circles, vertical lines and horizontal lines. Completing the square is a prior skill for the circle equations. Answer key is included. You may also like this Polar Equation Digital Matching Activity for practice. Great for distance learning!
Students will create a cubic or quartic polynomial in factored form that meets given criteria. Criteria includes zeros, end behavior, complex solutions and increasing/decreasing intervals. This is a perfect activity to push your students to create and gives them a creative math outlet! Sample answer key included but there are many correct answers possible.
This interactive game is a great way for students to review pythagorean theorem, special right triangles, and right triangle trig. This resource includes solving right triangles using pythagorean theorem, 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 ratios, and trig ratios.
