Math Junk

This project is designed for students in Algebra II or Pre-Calc who have just learned or reviewed: Functions, graphs, domain/range, intercepts, and critical points. This is a 2 day project in which students work in groups. Each group receives a function and one sentence explaining the real-world context of that function. They graph their given function using a graphing calculator or Desmos, and analyze the function. Once the function analysis is complete and satisfactory, students create a p

Two anchor charts for Transformations of Functions! First One:Basic landscape Shows the basic structure of a function and the transformation placements along with explanations of each transformations.Second One:Includes a smaller version of the basic structure and explanations from the first one.Includes color coded transformation placements for all major parent functions: linear, absolute value, quadratic, cubic, square root, cube root, reciprocal, and exponential.Back side: includes written re

This Puzzle Cube Project is great for middle and high school math, engineering, or STEM classes!This project guides your class through creating a 3x3x3 puzzle cube out of wooden blocks, and isometric sketches to serve as a visual assembly guide for their puzzle cube. This project is a great mix of critical thinking, 3D visualization and spatial reasoning, and creativity! Documents included in this download: - Project Setup (this includes suggested grading, materials, process, and project pointe

In this awesome project students create and paint beautiful tessellations from origami crease patterns! **This project was originally implemented in my STEAM based elective class with students in grades 9-12, and would be a wonderful project in any STEAM, arts or math (geometry especially) class!**Brief Summary: In this project students create their own tessellation from origami crease patterns that they fold and paint. Each students finished product is a 12"x12" two color tessellation that can

Factoring is IMPORTANT! Make sure your students have all the support and resources they need to successfully master factoring! **This listing has been updated and now includes two versions of the Factoring Methods Table. This factoring methods table is great to have posted in your classroom, or laminated at stations. This is a wonderful tool for students to be able to reference while practicing factoring, and helps them become independent learners by studying without even knowing it! The orig

This worksheet includes 16 different practice problems for evaluating functions. #1-8 ask students to evaluate at a given real integer value. #9-16 ask students to plug in negative numbers, variables, and expressions to functions. Answer Key (with work shown) included!This is a great packet to assign when you have a sub, a half day, when you're assessing skill levels in September, or when students need extra practice with this skill.

Transformations of Parent Functions! This short packet includes eight different functions. Students have to determine the parent function, list the transformations that take place to the parent function, and graph the given function on a plane. This is a wonderful resource for sub plans, extra practice, or homework. This is the sort of topic that students need some amount of repetition with prior to an assessment, and this will let you gauge their level of understanding. Answer key (including

This viewfinder is a great tool to help you introduce the concept of domain and range to your students! Students cut out and label a paper viewfinder, and using provided graphs (already sized correctly) they are able to use their viewfinder to determine the domain and range. Creating and using the viewfinder helps students physically interact with the intervals, and grasp the differences between domain and range on the axis. Included in your purchase:Viewfinder template (both as a PDF and a Po

I don't have to tell you how important factoring is in Algebra and beyond! This is a concept students need. Unfortunately, it's also a skill many HS students don't have a strong grasp of. This packet will provide the practice students need. Answer key is included!!!This packet contains 45 factoring practice problems:Section A: 6 Greatest Common FactorSection B: 6 Difference of SquaresSection C: 6 Guess and CheckSection D: 6 AC MethodSection E: 12 Mixed Methods (Each polynomial can be factored u
