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

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 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

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 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 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 –

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

In this experiment, the students learn about the basics of probability and what happens depending on the sample size. The students predict based on a sample what is in their bag and then find out if the are correct. Then using the actual data the students calculate probabilities based on individual, group and class results. They graph this information as well. There are questions along with this activity that ask why and get at their thinking. In the end they compare the class results wit

This is my template that I use with my students. I have them color code all of the angles when they draw it out. I have included my color copy as well so you can see a finished product. I make sure to tell them that the points on each circle are the same but it is spread out so it is easier for them to read.

Students will use the Inverse of the given matrix to decode a secret message! I have included four messages to decode (one for each period that I teach). They would need to put the numbers into a 1 x 3 matrix and use the 3 x 3 matrix to decode the message. The messages are as follows: FIRST PERIOD IS AWESOME SECOND PERIOD ROCKS THIRD PERIOD IS WONDERFUL FANTASTIC FOURTH PERIOD If you are interested in any that are not listed, send me a message and I can make them for you.

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

This resource has a grid with the four types of polar graphs (Circles and Spirals, Limaçons/Lemniscates, Roses, Polar Conics) and equations for specific graphs. On another sheet, there are 15 graphs for the students to cut out and place (or glue) in the correct spot on the chart. I have used this resource in two different ways, both at the beginning of the graphing lesson. First I have given them the chart and each student slips of paper to glue into the correct spot using their graphing calc
