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 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 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 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 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.

This six page document contains: one page of instructor notes, a single page main activity, two pages of follow up activities, and a two page answer key. In the primary activity the students explore the properties of commutativity, associativity, and closure, as well as identities and inverses. The exploration centers on a 5-element set where a novel operator is defined by a 5x5 matrix. Activity two focuses on traditional definitions of inverses and identities, while the third activity allows
