This scavenger hunt has 15 problems in which students will evaluate trigonometric functions at any angle. This can be used with a unit circle or without. Print out the 15 problems and place them around your room. Give each student an answer worksheet and assign them a place to start. You can do this individually or in pairs. The answer they get will lead them to their next problem. They continue looping around until they have completed all 15 stations or time is called. This activity is great

There are 20 cards in this activity that review solving equations (linear and quadratic), finding the distance and midpoint, evaluating a function, finding the slope of a line, and writing an equation given 2 points. You can use these as task cards or set them up in centers. I use this activity on the first day of class. I give each student a card when they walk in the door along with an answer sheet. They first need to solve their own question and check the answer with me. Then have to g

Who says high school math is stodgy, boring and even uncreative? Your students will demonstrate mastery in their language by using the definitions and properties of quadrilaterals to make a faux Instagram page. I give this project out to my students at the conclusion of the quadrilateral unit. They loved it this year and were very creative in the projects. I have included some of their projects so you can see what the finished product looks like. I have also created a rubric to use for grad

There are 20 cards in this activity that review simplify, solve an equation (both linear and quadratic), factor a polynomial, multiply polynomials, find the slope of two points, solve a proportion, and write an equation given a point and slope. You can use these as task cards or set them up in centers. I use this activity on the first day of class. I give each student a card when they walk in the door along with an answer sheet. They first need to solve their own question and check the answer

This is a project on Transformations that I use instead of a test. This project includes a reflection, translation, rotation, and dilation. They must make their own picture and do all of the transformations listed. They then need to put these together on a poster to display around the room. Included in this project is the assignment sheet, rubric, coordinate sheet, and a sample from a student of two of the graphs. My students loved this and I hope your will too!

This scavenger hunt has 15 problems in which students will practice graphing transformations, including reflections, translations, and rotations, Print out the 15 problems and place them around your room. Give each student an answer worksheet and assign them a place to start. You can do this individually or in pairs. The answer they get will lead them to their next problem. They continue looping around until they have completed all 15 stations or time is called. This activity is great for dif

This project involves graphing multiple trigonometry function on one set of axes. They have to graph a certain number of equations and have to use at least 3 different types out of the 6. For this they have the option to use sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cotanget, and cosecant. They also have to use multiple values that transform the parent function. We use a computer program (desmos) for the graphing. They need to find the features of each graph and write them out. The part that the stud

These are task cards that I use in my Precalculus class when working with trigonometric identities. The product includes 28 questions along with the answers. The questions can be printed out with just one side (the question) or two-sided (question on front and answer on back). I usually print mine with the answers on the back so that they can check their work and know if they are right. I have used this product in a couple of ways. First, I use it for them to work in pairs and practice s

This is a scavenger hunt (walk around) for compound inequalities. It has 6 problems to post up around the room (in alphabetical order) and includes a student response sheet along with directions. They do the problem at the bottom of the page and then I have them write down the answers as an inequality. They then need to find the picture of the correct number line that is on the top of all the papers to go along with their answer. It gets the students up and moving around the room for practi

This activity has 6 proofs that can be cut apart and assembled back together by students. I use it as an opening day activity for proofs after a brief introduction. It includes 3 algebra proofs and 3 geometry proofs. The geometry proofs are basic (no triangles). The answer key is the proof itself since they are typed out in order.

This can be used as Task Cards or a walk around activity. I have included both the small version (4 per sheet) and the larger version (1 per sheet). There are 24 questions that ask the student to solve for a variable and tell what type of angle they are. This activity deals with Corresponding Angles, Alternate Interior Angles, Alternate Exterior Angles, and Consecutive Interior Angles (Same-Side Interior). I use this activity as a review before we get into proving lines parallel.

This scavenger hunt activity consists of 12 problems. Students will use Law of Sines to find missing angles and sides of non-right triangles. All you have to do is print the papers (I usually print them on card stock), mix them up since they are written in order, and hang them on the walls. A recording sheet is included for them to write the answers on. The students (or groups of students) start at any of the problems, solve the problem, and then the answer they get will lead them to their

This activity is a review of Trigonometry. It is made up of 90 questions, 10 in each areas. You can use this as a chapter review or to review just a specific section. The answers are provided along with a sheet that you can print out with the answers listed so you can make it self checking. A student answer sheet is also included. The sections included are as follows: A. Geometric Mean B. The Pythagorean Theorem and its Converse C. Trigonometry Ratios D. Missing Side of Right Triangles u

This is a foldable that lists what you need to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, squares, trapezoid, or isosceles trapezoid. It comes with the blank template to have the kids fill in the information or you can print one that is already filled out and give it to them for their notebooks. You can also just print it out on a single without it being a foldable as well. I use this as a review at the end of the chapter but can be used as you go through all of the sh

This is a scavenger hunt that mixes up addition, subtraction, and multiplication of polynomials. It is a good review at the end of the section or a way for them to practice problems that get them up and moving. There are 12 problems in this set. The answer key is included along with a student activity sheet for them to record their work as well as the final answer.

In this set there are 36 logarithm cards with one part missing. I have used them in numerous ways. 1. Flashcards – print them out and let the students quiz each other to see how quickly they can evaluate them. 2. Card game – I have let the students play war with them, the person that has the higher number wins both cards. If there is a war they just flip over the next card and the winner gets all the cards. They play this until one person has all the cards. 3. Inside-Outside Circle –

These are horizontal flashcards that contain the fact families 0 - 5 for both addition and subtraction. They are written both ways on cards ( 1 + 4 and 4 + 1) There is also a monitoring sheet that students or teachers can fill out when they master the fact. We say that a student has mastered the fact when they can give the answer immediately upon seeing the card (within 5 seconds). My students have to prove that they know them on 2 different days before they get to color their chart in. They ca

This resource has 10 translated functions that students need to pair with the parent functions. The functions used are quadratic, cubic, absolute value, square root, and cube root. They then need to match the descriptions of the translated function with the proper equation. Next comes the table of values, where they will need to write out the original table and a table for the new function. The last column is a graph. I have supplied the graphs of all the parent function and the students wi

These place value strips can be printed off and used in front of the classroom or for a group of students. These help the students see that 1,289 is really 1,000 + 200 + 80 + 9. I print each place value on a different color of cardstock so that they can easily see the different place values. Check out the preview to see a picture of the one I printed for use in 4th grade.

In this activity, students will roll two dice and record the sum. They then need to make a frequency table, histogram and find the probability of each sum. They are asked question throughout the activity to lead them. The second part is to then find the probability as a class for each of the sums. At the end, they need to figure out the theoretical probability and compare to their probability. I have used this activity with small and large groups. I like to tie in to the fact that the mo
