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 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) Please check the preview for examples! Scavenger hunts are a great way to get students actively engaged. I find that my students work better whe

This is a 10 question scavenger hunt on writing equations of lines in slope-intercept form. Problems include writing equations given: a point and slope, 2 points, and a graph. Students must first find slopes and then plug into a formula to put the equation in slope-intercept form. 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 practic

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt activity on solving quadratic equations using 3 methods; factoring, square roots, and the quadratic formula. Answers are given as integers, fractions, and rounded decimals. There are 2 versions on the PDF download of this activity. The first version has directions on which method to use to solve, and the second method has those directions removed (see preview). I did not include solve by completing the square in this activity. However, if you use the 2n

This is a 15 question scavenger hunt activity on using factoring and the zero product property to solve quadratic equations. Problems are written both in standard form and not in standard form where students must rearrange terms before factoring. Problems also include problems that do not have a linear term (difference of squares factoring problems. 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 roo

This is a 15 question scavenger hunt activity on multiplying, dividing, and simplifying rational expressions. Students must factor expressions and then complete the required operation. There are 5 simplifying problems, 5 multiplication problems, and 5 division problems of varying levels of difficulty. There are no addition, subtraction, or equation problems. This activity does not require students to state excluded values. However, I have my students include this step on their recording she
