This is a one page handout that has students create their own design using line segments, then calculate slope, write equations, find x and y intercepts, and write the domain and range in interval notation. There is an example on the second page along with a grading rubric. This activity will take 1-2 class periods. It is highly adaptable. I left the file in Word 97-2002 format so you can tweak it for your needs. This is practice finding the equation of a line given a graph, but doesn't ha

I created this flow chart to help students navigate through angular and linear speed word problems. It is a simple formula, but they had trouble knowing when to convert, etc. The file is two pages, a blank flowchart for students, and one that has been filled in with the steps. Here is a type of problem that this resource applies to: "A wheel has an 18 cm diameter. The speed of a point on its rim is 9 m/s. What is its angular speed." OR something like: "A waterwheel has a 10 ft radius and r

This accompanies PreCalculus - Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic, 8th Edition. The file contains an animated PowerPoint that accompanies the free pre-printed notes sheet for this lesson. It will prepare students for the set of homework problems located in section A1 of the textbook. There are 20 examples, and a brief review of the rules for radicals and exponents. The preview is one of the slides from the presentation to give you a feel for it.
