This worksheet of 12 functions require students to graph parabolas in standard form. Each quadratic equation has integer vertices, so they can complete the square to find the vertex, or use the x=-B/2A method. When each function is graphed, students find the letter the graph passes through to fill in the riddle’s answer. This is a fun review activity that can be used at any time, but especially in the winter, such as December, January, or February. This activity is appropriate for Algebra or Al

This worksheet of 12 equations require students to graph logs with bases of 2 or 3 and various transformations (vertical stretch, reflections, horizontal and vertical shifts). Students can either make a t-chart of “nice” points or use inverses to re-write the equation in exponential form. When each function is graphed, students find the letter the graph passes through to fill in the riddle’s answer. This is a fun review activity that can be used at any time, but especially in the winter, such a

This activity requires students to practice NEATLY graphing linear functions in standard form (Ax + By =C). Students will graph 8 lines, and are able to either use the intercepts (all integers) or turn into slope-intercept form. After students graph each linear function, they write the letter of the function next to the penguin that it went through. This is a fitting activity for winter months, such as December, January, or February, but is also fun to use at any time of the year! Visit the Mat

This fun comprehensive review activity requires students to NEATLY graph 12 linear functions in various forms. Students can either re-write the equations in slope-intercept form, or graph directly from slope-intercept, point-slope and standard (using intercepts). There is also a horizontal line and a vertical line. As students complete each graph, they write the letter of the function next to the monster that it went through.

This worksheet of 12 functions require students to graph parabolas in vertex form. Each quadratic equation has integer vertices and includes transformations such as vertical stretch/compression, horizontal and vertical shifts, and reflections. When each function is graphed, students find the letter the graph passes through to fill in the riddle’s answer. This is a fun review activity that can be used at any time, but especially in the winter, such as December, January, or February. This activit

This worksheet of 15 equations requires students to graph lines in slope-intercept form and then match the line to the letter it points to. After students complete each line (or the entire worksheet), they match the colors to the letters and color in the decoration accordingly, similar to a color-by-numbers worksheet. This is the perfect fun and relaxing review activity for December or January around the New Year and an answer key is included. Visit the Math Cat Store to find more activities

This worksheet of 12 equations requires students to graph parabolas in standard form and then match the parabola to the letter it passes through. Each parabola has integer values for the vertex. After students complete each line (or the entire worksheet), they match the colors to the letters and color in the decoration accordingly, similar to a color-by-numbers worksheet. This is the perfect fun and relaxing review activity for February, especially around Valentine’s Day! This is a great activit

This fun activity requires students to practice NEATLY graphing quadratic functions. Students will graph 8 parabolas. There are 2 versions of the worksheet included: one with quadratics already in factored form, and one with expanded quadratics that students must factor themselves. As students graph each parabola, they write the letter of the function next to the monster that it went through. A great activity for Halloween, but fun any time of the year!

There are a total of 12 graphs in slope-intercept form, with a mixture of greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, and less than or equal to inequalities. Students will look at each graph and determine the appropriate inequality using the slope, y-intercept, line (dashed or solid), and direction of shading. There is an answer key with worked-out solutions included. For this activity, I cut up the half sheets and post them randomly around my room, allowing students to walk around and w

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.

I use this activity after students have learned to graph polynomials using their zeros and end behavior. It’s a great opener or closer, and usually takes my students about 10 minutes. All equations are factored, and some include even multiplicities (bounces on the x-axis). This activity is best for partners as it encourages team work, reinforces use of vocabulary, and facilitates discussions to further understanding of this PreCalculus/Algebra 2 topic. If you have access to a laminator, the

This is a good low-key activity for students, and you can give as many cards to students as you like! There are 4 pages, with 6 different holiday/winter borders on each page (a totally of 24 cards). Each card has 2 lines that intersect at a point (integers only), so you can have them only graph the lines, or also write the solution point where they intersect. I use this for a review activity and let students decorate the cards for me to display around the room. I tell the students they must comp
