In this task, students explore the costs associated with starting a business. They generate a "Price Point" rational equation by dividing the total cost equation by the number of products sold. This activity allows students to create rational equations that model the world around them, and explore what the end behavior and horizontal asymptotes of their graphs represent in a real world scenario.

In this 90 minute project, students use their knowledge of polynomial graphs to design and analyze their own roller coaster. Students create the polynomial coaster in factored form, describe end behavior, set a realistic domain and range, and use demos to check their work. In part two, student multiply out their polynomial, and then use synthetic division to check their multiplication by verifying the roots. Perfect for one 90 minute block, or extend to two days and add a gallery walk and p

This packet contains 11 "practice sets" that can be used as homework throughout an introductory unit on the Unit Circle and graphing trigonometric functions. The worksheets cover the following topics: 0) Review of SOHCAHTOA 1) Drawing the terminal ray of an angle within a circle 2) understanding how to create coordinates on a generic (non-unit circle) circle 3) Creating reference angles, naming quadrants, calculating sin/cos/tan values 4)Converting between degrees and radians 5) sin/cos/tan gi

In this task, students match sequences to their recursive equation, explicit equation, and graph.   Students will practice using function notation, distinguishing between arithmetic and geometric sequences, and setting up recursive and explicit equations. A reflection activity is included in this task so that students can work in pairs to match, and them reflect individually.

The following resources provide a comprehensive review of the essential function families covered in Algebra II. Use these activities to review absolute value functions, quadratic functions in vertex form, square root functions, and cubic functions. These activities can be used all together or independently to offer targeted review of the function families and graphing by transformation. Activity 1: Domain and Range Refresher Activity 2: Partner Match: Quadratic and Absolute Value Activity

In this partner activity, students practice drawing 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles inside the unit circle. Partner A is given the angle in standard position, and must determine the reference angle and quadrant. Partner B is given the reference angle and quadrant, and must determine the angle in standard position. The worksheets are created so that once they are done working independently, partner A and partner B can check their work by comparing worksheets.

Three scaffolded worksheets covering the following topics: Problem Set 1: Exponential Growth Problem Set 2: Compounded Interest Problem Set 3: Compounded and Continuously Compounded Interest Each worksheet contains 3 parts. Part 1 is the most straightforward, with Part 2 increasing in difficulty and a "challenge" section at the end of each worksheet where students solve for the principal interest, and explore other challenges.

Help your students discover the patterns of horizontal asymptotes in this interactive rational functions math lab! Students explore the three "cases" for horizontal asymptotes in rational functions.Students use the desmos calculator to discover the patterns that govern horizontal asymptotes, and extend their knowledge to understand how to find slant asymptotes. Students then practice recognizing horizontal asymptotes of rational functions by sorting them according to case ( based on the degr

In this guided worksheet, students can try their hand at understanding the Remainder Theorem, the Factor theorem, creating polynomials given the zeros, and Polynomial long Division. Each section includes one worked out example with explanation and tips, as well as an example for students to try on their own, and the answer to check their work. This one pager can be used as a review for students, an introduction, or even as a way for way students learn the content independently! Use full grou

5 scaffolded worksheets chunked by difficulty. Worksheet 1: Logarithmic Form and Exponential Form Worksheet 2: Logarithmic Properties Worksheet 3: Logarithmic Equations Worksheet 4: Log Equations using properties Worksheet 5: Graphing Logarithmic Functions

This scavenger hunt will get students up and moving while introducing them to exponential equations. Great for a day one activity to help students solidify the concept that they can solve for variables in the exponent by first creating a common base. The stations in this activity are named after famous mathematicians representing many different communities, and include a short synopsis of their contributions to the field.

Students match rational functions to their graphs by factoring and determining the holes and vertical asymptotes. This activity is great for day 1 or 2 of graphing rational functions, as it focuses just on vertical asymptotes and holes.

This worksheet allows students to practice graphing and evaluating piece-wise functions, while deepening their understanding of continuity through graph analysis.
