This is a 15 question scavenger hunt on solving equations involving square roots and rational exponents. Problems have one, two, or no solutions. Problems with extraneous solutions are included. 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 2 class as a fun and challenging way to practice the material we had learned. I also like this activity because it

In this activity, students graph 11 conic sections to create an Emoji! This download includes 2 versions (choose whichever works best for your class): -Worksheet with conics written in general conic form with space to work -Worksheet with conics in standard form ready to be graphed *The standard form version is also an answer key to the other form! Equations for Emoji includes: 3 Circles – Face and Eyeballs 2 Ellipses – Eyes 4 Parabolas – Eyebrows, Mouth, and Tongue 2 Hyperbolas – Dimples and

This activity includes 32 quiz quiz trade cards on evaluating logarithms. Any time my students seem to be sleepy or bored, I like to pull out a quiz quiz trade activity. Getting up, moving around the room, talking to and helping each other helps get their attention back! I use this throughout my entire logarithm unit for about 5-10 minutes each class. Simply print cards front to back on card stock paper (laminate for future use) and the answer to each question will be on the back of the ca

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt on solving exponential and logarithmic equations. Please view the preview of this activity to see the types of problems that are included. When solving exponential and logarithmic equations, I find that is important for the students to get an exact solution as well as an approximate solution from a calculator. Therefore, some answers to the questions on the scavenger hunt are exact and some are calculator approximations. This requires the students to have

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt on solving rational equations. This activity includes a wide variety of problem types. Problems include monomials, binomials, and trinomials in the denominators. Students should know how to factor and solve both linear and quadratic equations (all quadratic equations are factorable) for this activity. Problems with extraneous solutions are also included. Scavenger hunts are a great way to get students actively engaged. I find that my students work better

There are 3 separate logarithm games in this activity. For each game, students must use the answer to the previous card to solve the next card. The preview for this document includes directions and how I like to play in my classroom. Each game varies in difficulty. Problems include evaluating logarithms, using properties of logarithms, and solving logarithm equations. I find that my students love to work problems when they are in "game form". My students enjoyed reviewing and assessing th
