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 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 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.

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

These posters have a plain color border and state the properties of the following quadrilaterals: Parallelograms Rectangles Rhombi Squares Kites Trapezoids and Isosceles Trapezoids. I use these to hang up in my room as I discuss each shape.
