Math Counts

This unit includes 14 documents; explorations on reflections, rotations, and translations, 2 follow-up quizzes (one for reflections and one for rotations), a practice unit test with answers, and a unit test. Students are asked to investigate slopes and segment lengths to discover preservation of orientation and size. Students will also discover that points reflected over the line y=x are equidistant from the line. They will discover that the line which connects a point to its reflection over

A webquest is a computer based task that requires students to complete an online scavenger hunt. They click on links that lead to tutorials and discover formulas about how to find the probability of a single or compound events.

This is a test on the Pythagorean Theorem. It assesses that students can square numbers, take the square root of numbers, and estimate between which two consecutive integers a square root falls. There is Pythagorean theorem application, including straight forward solving for a missing side of a triangle, word problems and some geometry.

This is a matching activity. Students will cut out 30 cards (15 unsimplified exponential expressions & 15 simplified exponential expressions) and match them.

This is a "Who Wants to be a Millionaire? review game for the Pythagorean Theorem. It includes word problems. Names of students or teachers used in the game may need to be changed.

This is a template for students to chart the 6 laws of exponents with integer bases only (no variable bases). Students will record the laws, practice using the laws, and answer questions about how to simplify each expression. This is a great graphic organizer for any visual learner!

Students need to explain why any base (other than zero) raised to the zero power is always 1, and why 4 raised to the -1 is 1/4, in addition to practicing simplifying exponential expressions and simplifying polynomial expressions with addition, subtraction, and distribution (no foil method).

Given values to substitute into the standard form equation for absolute value, y = a[abs(x-h)]+k, students solve for a missing variable.

Zip Cards are a fun way for students to review for a test or a great way to assign extra credit! The clues from one card lead to the answer on the next and so on until all cards have been reviewed.
