In this activity, students will complete 10 problems using the rational zero test to find zeros of polynomials that are not factorable by grouping methods. Students will be required to use the rational zeros to solve each problem including the following problem types: - Cubic Polynomials - When a = 1 - When a =/ 1 - With missing terms - With multiplicities of 1 and 2 - Quartic Polynomials - When a=1 This activity is best used as a quick review since there is al

This activity allows students to review simplifying rational expressions by factoring. Problems include Monomials divided by monomialsMonomials divided by binomialsBinomials divided by monomialsBinomials divided by binomialsBinomials divided by trinomialsTrinomials divided by binomials Trinomials divided by trinomialsFactoring out a GCFFactoring perfect squaresFactoring trinomials a=1ONE factoring trinomials with a /= 1Students will complete each problem and then drag and drop the correct answer

This factoring activity includes 3 and 4 term polynomials that can be factored by grouping. The 3-term polynomials all have a leading coefficient greater than 1. Students will group and factor the polynomials to get their answers which will then be colored in to design the Santa hat.

The Pixel Activity is a great review of the quadratic formula. The answers to the quadratic formula will be rational or irrational and simplified but there are no imaginary answers on this sheet. Students complete each problem A-I and match their answer to the pixel shape in the 3x3 grids. They then color in the grid on the 9x9 in order to create the picture shown.

This activity is a set of 8 linear word problems that requires students to write a linear model and answer a second question about that problem. At the bottom of each problem the students are required to rate their understanding of each question with a symbol... lightning bolt (I've got this, no problem), a happy face (I did alright, but it might be wrong) and an exclamation point (I need more help!). I like this activity because it allows me to see where my students actual understanding leve

This activity is a printout of slides to be hung around the room in any random order. It allows students to walk around the classroom and review percent problems with labels (mild medium and spicy) to reference how difficult the problem may be. An answer key is included as the last slide and is uploaded as a word document to allow for easy editing. mild: are meant to be one step easy questions medium: 1-2 step maybe more difficult spicy: are more like full word problems / open ended problems

The format of the review sheets ask students to describe what each word means, ask what they would "do" or "perform" if they were asked about an operation or to draw a picture to represent it. Ideally you are hoping they can compare and contrast different words like simplify and solve and other words. The file is uploaded in a word document for easy editing and adding/removing certain vocabulary words.

This activity allows students to move around the room and work with 6 different people to complete 6 different solving quadratics by factoring questions with varying difficulty levels. - Each student is only allowed to work with a single partner once - Students will write their partners name that they worked with in each box on the line provided for easy comparison and grading.

Students will use a straight edge to draw two convex polygons and discover the triangle sum theorem by connecting the vertices and completing a guided chart.

The purpose of this activity is to have students discuss which method is best used when approaching systems of equations algebraically. There is an activity sheet for the students for their work and a teacher page with the guiding questions. The students should be able to discuss and reason with their classmates about each problem with limited guidance and redirection from the teacher. Many students will approach these questions without teacher input, which is the ultimate goal in getting th

Students will choose the best method to use for solving quadratics by solving three problems and then explaining why they chose the method they used for each. There are 2 versions with the answer keys attached.

Students are to use a graphing calculator, or graph a variety of functions by hand. On one graph they will graph different parent function and on the graph next to it, they will graph a transformation of the parent function. Students will then summarize the differences in each graph using vocabulary like intercept, shift, rotated, flipped, ect. in order for them to discover what transformations occur and even guess WHY they occur based on the changes within the function's equation itself.

This is a short project that requires students to find pictures of objects or places in the world, place them on a coordinate plane, and approximate the slope from one point to another. At the end of the project, students are asked essential questions on their individual projects, as well as how their findings relate to another student's and the actual slope of the object itself.

This is a short discovery activity for students to use logic, reasoning and patterns to discover how to multiply matrices on their own. Students are given 3 examples of a worked out problem and asked to discover HOW they were multiplied in order to create a formula. This project works best with limited interaction between student and teacher so students build their reasoning skills.
