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 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 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
