This activity is a great way for students to review the first and second derivative tests and describe key features of a function. Students will work in pairs (recommended) to take a function and use the first and second derivative tests to find intervals of increase and decrease as well as intervals of concavity. Students will be given the following: - 10 function cards (A-J) - 10 first derivative test conclusions (colors) - 10 second derivative test conclusions (food) Students will find a grou

The worksheet provided features 9 problems where students are expected to graph the rational function and list the key features such as: vertical asymptoteshorizontal asymptotesremovable discontinuities ("holes")while also providing them with space to show their work and a graph to plot their end result. There are NO slant asymptotes on this worksheet.The second set of problems require students to identify key features of a the graph given and write the equation of the graph based on these fea

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 is a version of Mad Gabs with rules and theorems to review for Calculus. It works great for AP Calculus and the students love the different type of style review it offers rather than just doing notes and problems. There are 20 pre-made GABS with rules and theorems and a few extra spaces for you and your students to create your own. If printed and then photocopied front to back you can cut them out so the answers are on the back, or you can keep them separate so the answers aren't showing.

There are 8 Non-Calculator Multiple Choice questions and one Free Response in this general review set covering topics such as tangent lines, slope fields, integration techniques, interpretation of graphs, limits and more. There is an answer key provided for both the MC and FR.

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 solve basic anti-derivative problems in order to solve a riddle. Their answers will match to a letter which then can be put into the correct place revealing the answer once all 16 problems are completed.

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.

This is a great worksheet for students learning how to convert units, giving them insight to real world landmarks as well as converting measurements about their own lives (age, height, ect.). Part 1: Tall Tales Students will use facts given to them about the specific Landmarks worldwide and convert their height, length and depth into other units they may be more familiar with. Part 2: All About Me Students will use a tape measure to determine their height and arm span, along with their age,

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.
