This first page of this document is a 12 problem circuit, requiring that students use multiple techniques of factoring, including: GCF factoring, factoring by grouping, difference of squares, sum of cubes, difference of cubes, perfect square factoring, and general trinomial factoring (without reference to the specific technique being used). Additionally, two problems require multiple stage factoring. The second page is an answer key. I am offering this resource without charge because, though t

This bundle arrives just in time to help you celebrate Phi Day on November 23rd, so named for the date's relationship to the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, ... This bundle contains 3 sets of activities: The Golden Rectangle, The Fibonacci Sequence, and Spirals. But within those topics the students study Golden Ratio, art and architecture, Pascal's Triangle, are introduced to factorial notation, are introduced to the idea of limits, practice their geometry skills, and learn history about the c

The first page of this resource discusses the "short cuts" to determining the end behavior of rational functions, while at the same time referencing the limitations. Graphs of functions are given to visually support those rules. Page two is a brief five problem practice worksheet and page three is the answer key for the worksheet. At the moment I am considering this a "mini resource" and offering if free of charge. I would appreciate feedback from anyone who uses it on how to improve this re

This is the third of the activities designed to help you celebrate Phi Day on November 23rd, so named for the date's relationship to the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, ... This third activity builds on the first two [Phi Day (1)--Golden Rectangles and Phi Day (2)--The Fibonacci Sequence], but this activity works well as a stand-alone, and does NOT require that activity to be completed first. Like the previous activities, this begins with some basic facts about the number phi. Students then e

This bundle contains 3 files: the primary file is a applet named "Series" that requires JAVA 8. "Series" in a dynamic and interactive way to introduce students to sequences and series, especially with respect to the convergence and divergence of the series. The applet promotes an inquiry-based learning approach, allowing students to create and explore series of their own creation. Also included in the bundle is a single page "User Guide to the 'Series' Applet." The final document contains a

This document provides a summary of the function transformations, including: translations, reflections, and dilations. The document is meant to be a resource for students as they practice their transformation skills. This update contains a second page with two modeled examples to demonstrate how the transformation summary on the first page may be used to sketch the graphs of two sample functions (quadratic and square root).

This file has two activities. The first activity is meant to be a warm, where the students enter the room, are given either an equation or a graph, and then have to find their match. The activity provides cards for a class of up to 40 students. The second activity has students completing, in pairs, graphs of transformations--each with at least 3 transformations. Space is provided for the students to work, with graph paper adequate to graph the problem they are working on.

We have used this study for a number of years as a resource for our students leading up to the state-wide mandated testing at the end of the year. Many students have seen this material in the middle of the school year and need the refresher in forms of equations, slope, parallel and perpendicular lines, graphing equations, writing equations, vertical and horizontal lines and x- and y-intercepts. The first two pages can be used as a stand-alone study guide, while the next four pages are practic

This Factoring Bundle contains the following files: -Bundle overview (a single page detailed description of the products) -Introduction to Factoring Organizer -Both versions of the Factoring Flowchart (black & white and color), with examples -Factoring Practice with Checklists -Factoring Matching Activity

This Smart Notebook lesson has a total 25 slides, with 22 pages factoring content. Techniques of factoring include: factoring a GCF, factoring by grouping, guess and check, splitting up the middle term, slide and divide, perfect square trinomials, the difference of squares, and the sum and difference of cubes. Each of the techniques is immediately followed by between 3 and 5 examples on that specific technique. (Note: none of the examples use multiple techniques of factoring. Those practice

This document contains the color version of our Factoring Flowchart, teacher notes and a model example on factoring, an 8 problem student worksheet, and an answer key with each problem worked out step-by-step.

This worksheet has 5 factoring practice problems, each of which requires at least two steps to fully factor the polynomials. With each problem there is a factoring checklist where the students are required to reflect on the techniques of factoring used. Note: because of the nature of the problems, these work best after the students have mastered the basic techniques of factoring. The worksheet would be appropriate for small group practice or for homework.

This resource has two components. First, students are randomly given either a compound interval notation statement (either a union or an intersection, with either inclusive or non-inclusive endpoints) or the resulting graph of the statement. Students need to find their correct match, creating a partnership for the next activity. In the second part, students have four compound inequalities to solve, graph, and then write the resulting solution set in both set builder and interval notation.

This is the second of the activities designed to help you celebrate Phi Day on November 23rd, so named for the date's relationship to the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, ... This second activity builds on the first [Phi Day (1)--Golden Rectangles], but this activity works well as a stand-alone, and does NOT require that activity to be completed first. In this activity the students first get a historical lesson on who Fibonacci was, and then read the problem that he posed that has led to the na

This document contains the black and white version of our Factoring Flowchart, teacher notes and a model example on factoring, an 8 problem student worksheet, and an answer key with each problem worked out step-by-step.
