HOTS for Math

15 posters / PPT slides of essential Algebra 1 Vocabulary. Please see preview to view all slides. Include common vocabulary used on the Texas STAAR EOC exam.

In this activity students will understand how the multiple representations and vocabulary related to linear functions are all connected. Given a graph, students are asked to find the slope, rate of change, x and y intercepts, domain, and range. Also they need to determine if the function is discrete or continuous. And finally, they need to complete the different representations, including table, verbal, and equation. There are a total of 8 of these activities and include answer key. There i

Get students talking by giving them HOT (higher order thinking) questions. The question presented in this resource is "which one does not belong?"More than one answer is possible, depends on the students' justifications. Some answers are more obvious than others. For this reason, this resource is good for a resource class as well as for advanced academic class. There are 20 slides of questions, each followed by a slide with possible answers. Topics for questions include quadratic functions, ex

This activity contains four sets of 10 equations in standard form. Students need to graph each equation by solving for the x and y intercepts, plot the x and y intercepts on the coordinate grid, and connect them with a line segment. The activity also has a blank coordinate grid.

Get students talking by giving them HOT (higher order thinking) questions. Students will compare and contrast two graphs: they will try to find 3 similarities and 3 differences. There are 20 slides of questions, each followed by a slide with possible answers. Graphs include linear, quadratic, and exponential. This resource works great as warm up, exit ticket, or writing prompt, but can be used anytime during the lesson. Students should take about 3-4 minutes to think and write an answer. You c

Activity 1: Students will use a graphing calculator to graph a set of pairs of equations to determine if they parallel or not and then use inductive reasoning to make a conclusion about the slopes of parallel lines. Activity 2: Students will do the same for perpendicular lines. Before giving students this activity, make sure they understand what parallel and perpendicular lines look like, and the difference between perpendicular and intersecting lines.
