Kara Root

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 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 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.

This is an activity to hang up around your room. It has 11 questions that have them figuring out whether the two lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither. It includes 7 questions that have 4 points and you have to determine what type of lines they are, 2 question with two points and then another point from which you have to draw a line parallel, and finally 2 questions given two points and then another point to draw a line perpendicular to the other line. A worked out solution is included
