This quiz-quiz-trade activity gets the students up, and moving around the classroom while practicing criteria for congruent triangles. It can be used as practice for new material, or as a quick review before a test. Be sure to print double-sided so that the answers are on the back of the cards. Each student should have their own card, and they should be mixing around the classroom looking for another person who needs a quick partner. They meet, greet, quiz each other on the card they are ho

The new Florida Core standards do not include trapezoids or kites in the quadrilaterals section. This jeopardy is therefore a good review for parallelograms. If you teach in a state that does not have the Common Core standards, then my Quadrilaterals Jeopardy is a better fit for you; it covers the trapezoid and kite. All of my "actions" in this flipchart work well, and allow the user to never need the pen tool. Enjoy! (and let others know about my store, please)

This puzzle is used to review or reinforce logarithm evaluations without a calculator. It requires the students to understand the concept of getting numbers into the same base in order to evaluate the logarithm. Cut the squares out and explain to the kids that they are to match the logarithmic expressions to their appropriate evaluation edge-to-edge. The puzzle prints as the answer key already. This is a great group activity for test review!

This is a quiz-quiz-trade activity for parallelograms. The students should use the information on the card to identify which type of parallelogram can be proven. No other assumptions are allowed to be made - only use the given info. Simply print, cut out, and fold over to have a class set of cards. For those that are not familiar with the quiz-quiz-trade structure, give each student a card. Have them mix around the room looking for quick partners. They pair up, great each other, quiz each

It seems that the hardest thing for the students, when it comes to factoring by special cases, is recognizing when a polynomial is a special case. This puzzle only asks the students to identify which polynomials are special cases, and have a little chuckle at the end. Punchline: The Romans didn't find Algebra very challenging because x was always ten.

This is a matching activity for polynomial graphing. Students must match a polynomial equation to its graph using knowledge of end behavior and root multiplicity.

This is an ActivInspire flip chart focused on transformations. All of the transformations are presented in function notation, as per common core standards. There are mechanical questions (produce an ordered pair after a transformation), and there are "theory" questions (A figure is rotated. Point B and Point B' have the same coordinates. What do you know about Point B?). As with regular jeopardy, the questions increase in difficulty as the point values increase. All of the "actions" on the

Factoring special cases can get boring, or repetitious pretty quick for the students. That is why I created this puzzle. They do not mind going through the motions because they know there is a rewarding chuckle waiting for them at the end. Punchline: It is a shame that they will never meet
