This project requires students to inquire about polynomial functions so that they can make a poster containing 4 graphs that satisfy very unique behaviors. This project creates a synergy of understanding for all of the following topics: *End Behavior as x goes to infinity and negative infinity *Even and Odd Degree Functions *Increasing and Decreasing Intervals *Local Minimum and Maximum *Domain and Range *X Intercept and Bounce Points *Is a Function Even, Odd, or Neither *Rational and Irrational

Students will create 2 reports for this project: The first is a situation where the probability can be calculated. Examples include: *What are the chances of guessing on a 4 question multiple choice test (with possible answers a, b ,c, and d) and getting 0 right? *If I pressed 20 piano keys what are the chances of 3 C#’s? The second is a situation where the probability is defined empirically and the student must lookup the value. Examples include: *What percentage of flights end in a plane cras

This is a project that you could give to a student in an Algebra 2 or PreCalculus class who is also into graphic design. Rational functions take on so many interesting shapes that they are obvious candidates to be turned into art. Inside this project are 6 designs made by students ranging from excellent to average work. One great plus of letting student do this project is that you get some awesome custom decorations to add to your class.

This actually contains 7 files to help your students firm up their vocab and concept understanding for a Quadratic Functions Unit. There are two types of activities. The first is a read aloud activity with the vocab.(Usually a warmup activity) Simply display the power point and then call on a student to read up to the word that is blocked off. See if the student can guess the word. If they can’t, call on someone else. Students have to pay close attention because you could call on anyone. It is

In this project students are asked to select a rectangular wall space in the school and make 3 design proposals using conic sections including parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola. There are different degrees of difficulty available for students to choose from and they are to incorporate aspects of the conic sections into the design. These include directix lines, foci, and asymptotes. The higher the degree of difficulty described then higher the scoring for the project. Students must show and descr

In this technology lab students will create calculators to solve problems involving linear functions. It is broken down into 4 parts. Part 1: Given coefficients A, B , and C of a linear function in standard form solve for the slope and x and y intercepts. Part 2: Given 2 points solve for the slope and the x and y intercepts. Part 3: Given 2 points and slope solve for A ,B, C. There is also a bonus/challenge question. For the teacher I will include a fully solved Excel file. Also I have a file of
