I created this as an activity for students to celebrate Black history up to the present times. Students can research and include any people or topics that interest them. You could either provide a few options for math skills to use, or let them choose on their own. When students choose on their own, it does take more time. We usually do this in 1 class period and if they don't finish, it's homework. I include their questions in our classwork or do now in February. You could adapt the questions

Practice - Transformations of Quadratic Functions from Equations to Graphs Given equations, students need to identify 1-3 transformations, determine the change value, then create their own graph. There are 3 sets of 3 transformations on the practice sheet, as well as one set of 3 graphs and 3 questions to match. For scaffolding, students will identify the change value before creating their graph.

Great practical math activity to include in your linear functions unit! This works for middle school and high school math in any curriculum that includes linear functions. Students will have the opportunity to create their own linear equation based on a job they're interested in. I compiled hourly wages based on national averages for a variety of jobs. Students would pick a job to get their slope, choose a bonus for their y-intercept, then create their own equation. From there, students would ha

Linear versus Exponential key features. You can use these as physical notes or as part of an interactive virtual notebook. This is a great way to get kids to understand the connection between multiple representations of linear and exponential functions. You could space these notes out over multiple days if you're covering different representations each day of the unit. Helpful for Algebra 1 students, Pre-Algebra, and middle school math students.

These notes can be used to introduce or practice transformations of quadratic functions on a graph, then create a function from it. These are single transformations of a, h, k, and a reflection.

Transformations of Quadratic Graphs - Gallery Walk w/ Answers for h, k, reflect There are 8 graphs, 2 on each page that you can cut. The answer key is included at the end for the teacher. Students can view the answer key when they're done or check in with the teacher along the way. Each of these have between 2 and 3 transformations, one h, one k, and occasionally a reflection.

This guide will help you and your students identify the key "look fors" and steps to factor and solve any quadratic! This guide includes the following strategies: -Factoring with the XBox method -Perfect Squares -Difference of Squares -Greatest Common Factor -Completing the Square -Zero Product Property -Using Inverse Operations/Taking Square Roots
