This is a 15 question scavenger hunt on segment/angle additions postulates. Problems include Geometry vocabulary such as congruent segment/angles, angle bisectors, midpoint, vertical angles, complimentary, supplementary, etc. Problems involve setting up equations to solve for a missing length or angle measurement. I like to keep practicing Algebra skills during Geometry, therefore there are a few problems that require (easy) factoring in order to solve. It is assumed that all angle measureme

This is a 15 question scavenger hunt activity on factoring quadratic binomials and trinomials. Problems include polynomials that: -only factor out a GCF -are prime -are difference of square binomials -are trinomials with a=1 -have a GCF and then a factorable trinomial with a=1 -have a GCF and then a factorable binomial (difference of squares) -have 2 variables There are no problems involving factoring a trinomial with a > 1 (after GCF is factored out). Please check the preview for examples!

This is a 10 question scavenger hunt on writing a linear function from a table of values. Students need to use the table of values to write the function in slope-intercept form. Problems include tables where the y-intercept is given and problems where they must find the y-intercept. Scavenger hunts are a great way to get students actively engaged. I find that my students work better when they are up and moving around the room. I created this activity for my Algebra class as a fun way to pract

This is a 16 question scavenger hunt on writing domain and range from a graph in interval notation (8 domain questions/8 range questions). All graphs included are non-continuous. I have found that this is a good activity to use as a review of domain and range before teaching about domain and range of continuous graphs/functions. Scavenger hunts are a great way to get students actively engaged. I find that my students work better when they are up and moving around the room. I created this acti

This is a bundle of 13 resources I use throughout the year in my Algebra 2 class! Some activities are to review material learned in Algebra 1 before moving on to new material. Some activities are used for a fun way to practice brand new material.
