This is a pretty basic scaffolded worksheet, students begin by listing the slope and y-intercept and fill in the blanks to write the equation, but gradually must use their own points to find slope and write the equation themselves. The last half of the worksheet is matching graphs to equations. Don’t forget to leave feedback! I read every comment and greatly appreciate it.

This worksheet is an introduction to the unit circle where students use special right triangles, knowledge about quadrants, and basic symmetry to fill in the angles and coordinates around it. This is more of a discovery-based learning assignment and works well in partners or groups so students can work together. Don’t forget to leave feedback!

For this activity, I cut up the half sheets (they’re not all exactly half, so cut individually) and post them randomly around my room. The bottom of each half-sheet is a graph, equation or list, and the top of the half-sheet is the previous problem’s answer. I give students the answer doc and they can start at whatever half sheet they’re closest to. Once they write the answer down, they search for the answer on a different half sheet, write down the name of the team and complete the new problem.

This is a great quick review activity for students to work on either individually or in pairs to practice finding attributes of quadratic functions and matching to equations and graphs. There are 4 sets of 5 cards: a graph, the equation in vertex form, the equation in standard form, the roots of the function (all require use of the quadratic formula), and the vertex and y-intercept.

For this activity, students solve a variety of equations for a variable. Students must be able to solve multi-step equations, distribute and combine like terms, and set up and solve word problems and proportions. This is an activity I like to use for semester review, or as a worksheet I can leave with emergency substitute plans. Don’t forget to leave feedback! I read every comment and greatly appreciate it.

This 26-problem practice quiz requires students to recognize arithmetic sequences from graphs, equations, and lists. They should be able to find the common difference as well as write an equation of an arithmetic sequence. This practice quiz has two versions depending on which equation for arithmetic sequences you teach. Don’t forget to leave feedback! I read every comment and greatly appreciate it.

For this activity, I cut up the half sheets and post them randomly around my room, allowing students to walk around and work in groups. I give students the answer doc and they can start at whatever half sheet they’re closest to. Once they write the answer down, they search for the answer on a different half sheet, write the name of the character, and complete the new problem. I love this twist on a basic worksheet because it gets students moving and working with their peers. I teach students

This short worksheet reviews finding limits by using a graph of a function and determining continuity. The functions contain jump, point, and infinite discontinuity. Students should be able to evaluate functions at a point using a graph, understand left and right hand limits, evaluate infinite limits, and explain why a function is or is not continuous at a value using the 3-part formal definition of continuity.

For this worksheet, I print out a copy of the answer sheet for each student, cut up a few copies of the word problems and lay them on the front desk. I tell each pair to pick one problem, and when they finish it, come up to return the problem and get a new one. I usually require students to finish at least 4 problems, but if they finish all 8 I will give them some sort of reward. My students don’t exactly enjoy word problems so I try to incentivize it when I can! Don’t forget to leave feedback!

This 12 question activity is appropriate after students have learned how to find slope graphically and how to determine if slopes are parallel or perpendicular. It is a review of slope as well as an introduction to using linear equations to set up word problems. Students match graphs to descriptions such as 'positive slope' or 'which 2 graphs are parallel?' as well as word problem scenarios. Don’t forget to leave feedback!

I use this worksheet after introducing arithmetic sequences. Students practice finding common differences, terms, and writing equations. They also see how arithmetic sequences can be used in visual patterns. I’ve included 2 versions: One version uses an=d(n)+a0 and the second version uses an=d(n-1)+a1. Don’t forget to leave feedback!

This activity is about making the connection between linear equations and arithmetic sequences. I ask students to find the common difference first (making the connection between “difference” and “slope”), and then they need to find the “b” part that needs to be added so they can plug in a value from their table and get the correct output. Usually about halfway through the worksheet, students figure out that the output for the x-value of 0 is the “b” in the equation. Don’t forget to leave feedbac

This worksheet serves as an introduction to arithmetic sequences. Students will practice finding the first four terms, finding the common difference, and recognizing that arithmetic sequences are linear in nature. I give this worksheet before I have them memorize the formula for arithmetic sequences so when they get a formula I ask them to find the first 3 terms at least, then decide if a sequence is linear.

This worksheet is a review of important Precalculus and Algebra 2 concepts that students will need to be familiar with as they go through Calculus, such as trig functions, polynomials, the greatest integer function, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, and other graphs that frequently pop up throughout the course. I use this worksheet the first week of school and the students leave it in their notebook so they can refer back to them throughout the year. Don’t forget to leave feedback! I

I have students cut up the pieces and glue them to a small poster, one side is “Functions” and the other side is “Non-Functions”. Students work as partners and each pair gets 1 copy of the first page. The second page has blank squares for students to come up with their own examples of functions and non-functions (1 of each for each representation). Don’t forget to leave feedback!
