Step-by-step guide to writing numbers in scientific notation, and how to convert them from scientific notation back to standard form. Includes practice examples. Jessica

This is a 10-page document about solving equations. Each topic begins with steps of how to solve that type of equation in a solved example, followed by practice problems. The topics covered are: - parts of an equation (variable, coefficient, constant) - evaluating expressions - solving 1-step equations - solving 2-step equations - solving and checking your answer - solving equations where you must combine terms first - equations with variables on both sides. Also available in Word format, just

This is a basic guide to understanding what an exponential function is, and how to calculate the rule from a table of values and from word problems. UPDATED to include more details!!

This is a formula sheet on ratios of perimeters, areas and volumes of similar solids. My students had a hard time understanding the different ways to calculate the ratios, so I made a review sheet that puts it all together for them. It really helped! Jessica Rickhaus

This is a 26-slide PowerPoint presentation with notes and solved examples (with step-by-step animations) that covers the following topics: - definition of a rational expression - finding the restrictions - simplifying - adding/subtracting with common and uncommon denominators - multiplying/dividing - solving a word problem This should be about 2 weeks worth of notes, when added to extra practice. Also, the slides are much nicer than they appear in the preview!!
