Let's Algebra

Graphing and Transforming Logarithmic Functions: Great for Distance Learning or in Person Learning!This product covers the concepts of graphing and transforming logarithmic functions. In the lesson students will graph logarithmic functions by converting them into exponential functions. They will then fill in a table "backwards" to help them graph the functions. Students will then observe that when graphing, if logarithmic functions are in the "proper" form, the x-intercept is always 1, and the

Transforming Absolute Value Functions The lesson itself is set up so students can fill out tables and make graphs on the same coordinate plane. This will enable them to discover how various transformations occur. Students will then write verbal descriptions of how the parent function has been changed. To help them have success with these challenging concepts, a "flow chart" will guide them through the process. In short students will learn about vertical shifts (translations), vertical stretches,

Systems of Equations Special Cases: No Solutions, Infinitely Many SolutionsI've always found it tough to teach the concepts of linear systems that have infinite or no solutions, so I hope your students will get a better feel of these confusing concepts after doing this lesson.Specifically, in this lesson students will use two linear systems to model real world scenarios. For example: In one scenario students will need to figure out if two trees will ever be the same height. In this particular

Properties of LogarithmsPrint or DigitalIn this lesson student will learn about the Product Property of Logarithms, the Quotient Property of Logarithms, and the Power Property of Logarithms.Students will match up equivalent expressions, and analyze logarithmic expressions to see if they are truly equivalent.If you use this as a print activity have students partner up and cut out and match up expressions. They love doing this.Two videos are provide for this lesson. the links are in the assignment

Free: Exponents Zero and NegativePrint or DigitalThe lesson covers the introductory concepts of powers that are zero or negative.Students will look for patterns in tables, and then match up equivalent expressions. By the end of the lesson students will see the relationship between fractions and negative exponents and be able to see that "something" raised to the power of zero is one.If you use this in person have students partner up so they can cut out and match up equivalent expressions. They

This mini bundle covers graphing logarithms and the properties of logarithms. Buy them together and save money!! Updated on December 2020!You can use both products as either print or digital. Whatever works best for you! I hope your students find these lessons, fun and engaging!

Quadratic Equations and Projectile Motion This lesson will help students model dropped objects using quadratic equations.The problems scenarios are fun, entertaining, and humorous!!Students will model falling objects such as refreshing coconuts and a brand new high school math textbook.One scenario includes the dropping of an unidentified object (UFO) from the top of a 200 ft . Students will have to figure out, using graphs and equations, when it hits the ground. Furthermore, students will be gi

Quadratics (Bundle and Save!!)TOPICS COVERED: Factoring out GCF and Distributive Property - "Area Model" i.e "Box Method", Great for visual learners!Zero Product Property- Detachable reference page with clear explanations!Quadratics and Projectile Motion - Coconuts and UFO's - Can you identity that launched object?Solving Quadratics in the Form x^2=k and (x+h)^2 = k: Skills Practice - Detachable reference page with 3 examples! Transforming Quadratics Functions - Video included!All 5 products h

Solving Quadratic Equations, Cubic Equations, and the Zero Product PropertyThis product will really help your students understand the concepts of the zero product property, solutions, x-intercepts, and roots.Students will find the roots of equations when the equations are in factored form. Then students will find the roots using the Zero Product Property. When students have to generate graphs, I put the link in for demos in the product, and suggest that they graph equations there. The referenc

Inverse Variation: (Introduction to Rational Functions) I have found that inverse variation is the most fun and effective way to introduce the concepts of rational functions! This product opens up with a real world scenario in which students are given a certain distance and speed and they must calculate the amount of time it takes. Based on this scenario students will generate a graph (speed independent and time dependent), make an equation, and identity horizontal and vertical asymptotes. Stude

Solving Quadratic Equations Students often struggle with the fact that quadratic equations can have two solutions. I have found that they get a better grasp of this concept when they understand that the square root of x squared is equivalent to the absolute value of x. That is why I have students do a short activity at the beginning of this lesson to help them understand this concept. Students then get plenty of opportunities to solve equations in the forms of x^2 = k and (x + h)^2 = k. Some pro
