Math with MsKirsch

Objective: To be able to draw conclusions from two-way tables and segmented bar charts. Types of graphs: two-way tables, segmented bar charts INCLUDES:16 Cards (black & white, color)Answer Key

Objective: To be able to compare characteristics of boxplots, histograms, and summary statistics (mean, median, standard deviation). Types of graphs: boxplots (no outliers), histograms Types of statistics: mean, median and standard deviation Ways to use: You can use as a matching activity to match a boxplot to its histogram and summary statistics, or as a sorting activity by skewness or variability. Answer keys are provided for all types of activities mentioned. Note: students should have famili

Objective: To be able to graph function transformations (absolute value, quadratic, square root, cubic, and reciprocal), and use those graphs to describe relevant function behavior. Types of functions: absolute value, quadratic, square root, cubic, and reciprocal Function characteristics (no calculations need): domain, range, increasing int(s), decreasing int(s), x-int(s), y-int, vertical asymptotes, horizontal asymptotes. Types of transformations: translations, reflections (x- and y-axis only)

Objective: To be able factor algebraic expressions using the greatest common factor (GCF). Types of expressions: high degree binomials and trinomials INCLUDES:Circuit (w/ instructions) - 20 factoring using the GCF problemsAnswer Key

Objective: To be able to write evaluate limits analytically using algebraic manipulation (factoring, rationalization, and direct substitution). Types of limits: limits to integer values only that result in rational values only (no limits at or to infinity), two-sided limits only. Note: students should have familiarity with evaluating limits using direct substitution, factoring, and rationalization without the use of a graph. INCLUDES:Circuit (w/ instructions) - 18 limit problemsAnswer Key

Objective: To be able to write determine one- and two-sided limits from graphs. Types of graphs: functions with vertical asymptotes (no horizontal or slant), holes, and/or jumps. Types of limits: All limits are to an integer value. There are no limits at infinity, but some of the limits are to infinity (or negative infinity). Limits may not exist (when the left and right hand do not agree only). Note: students should have familiarity with evaluating limits using direct substitution, factoring, a

Objective: To be able to write absolute value functions as piecewise functions with appropriate domain restrictions. Types of absolute value functions: linear argument, quadratic argument, square root argument, and rational function containing absolute values with linear or quadratic arguments. Note: students should have familiarity with sign charts, function transformations, piecewise functions, rational functions, quadratic functions, square root functions, and domain restrictions. This was cr

Objective: To be able to determine whether lines are parallel or perpendicular to each other. Ways to use: In groups of 3-4, students will determine the slope of the lines on each card. Then, they will put the cards into groups of four. Each group of four cards will have two sets of parallel lines that are perpendicular to each other (ex: in Group 1, lines (1) and (2) will be parallel to each other, but perpendicular to lines (3) and (4)). Have students fill out the reflection either if their gr
