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

This is a bundle of two resources, each containing 20 questions. 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 / basic Algebra class as well as for advanced academic class. There are a total of 40 (20 in each product) slides o

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

In this activity students need to create a graph (linear or quadratic), given the DOMAIN, Range, and x & y INTERCEPTS, and whether it is a FUNCTION or NON-FUNCTION. May be used as Warm Ups, Bell Ringers, or HW. The questions can be projected and students answer on their answer sheet. Or activity can be given on an online platform. There are 11 questions total. Each slide of question is followed by a slide of solution. For lower level students you may want to reduce the constraints, for ex
