Students will graph a point given an x and y value. Each point will land on a letter to spell out the punch line to the joke. This is a simple but fun way to review or learn graphing points. Enjoy! Included: Practice/Joke Worksheet Practice/Joke Worksheet PDF Answer Key

This project allows students to see how Linear Regression can be used in the real world. Students will be given data and then be guided on how to answer business questions for investors about why their Ice Cream stand is a good investment. Students are given a set of numbers to calculate the line of best fit and use ideas like a positive correlation to be persuasive. I have added 8 different data sets so that not every group has the same information. There are directions on how to make the poste

Below are crossword puzzles for both football and shopping where solving equations gives extra letters for the crossword puzzles. The questions are similar so you can give students the choice of which activity they would like to do! Each worksheet has an answer key provided. I would expect the activities to take about one full 40 minute class period.

Below you will find a full unit which has everything you need to teach, review and assess students on factoring and some parts of polynomials which connect to factoring. The unit goes over finding GCF's and LCM's of polynomials, GCF factoring, distributing and double distributing, reverse foil factoring (trinomial into a binomial), difference of squares factoring, and combination problems (GCF and then factor again). I promise my notes are second to none and include tons of practice like a hallw

This exciting unit provides everything you will need to teach, review, and assess this topic. The topics discussed are FOIL or double distributing (binomial multiplying), Reverse FOIL Factoring (trinomials into binomials) and factoring difference of squares. Below are all included resources. This usually takes me close to two weeks to teach. (about 8 days) All keys provided! Foil and Double Distributing Notes FOIL and Double Distribute Review Reverse Foil Factoring Notes Factoring Practice Works

I have bundled together everything you need for your students to learn slope and the different slope forms! This bundle contains 3 mini sections and a virtual escape room for weeks of engaging and fun material. This should take around 4 weeks to complete fully! There are PDF and editable Google Doc Files of all worksheets as well as keys for everything. Below is a summary of the 4 bundled items. Mini Unit 1 Slope and Intercepts: This unit introduces slope and the x and y intercepts. By the end o

This mini unit goes over combination factoring problems and reviews all factoring. This concludes my full unit of Algebra 1 Factoring but can be skipped if the other two are all you need. Combination problems require students to factor using a GCF and then factor again. This mini unit usually takes about 4 days. Below are the included resources. All keys included! Combination Factoring Notes Factoring Study Guide Factoring Test (2 versions) Please let me know if you have any questions or concern

I have a full unit of everything you need to teach the three methods of solving systems of equations! This unit includes notes, (with clear directions on how to perform each method), hallway scavenger hunts for practice, study guides and 2 version tests! Everything is editable! All resources have keys. Below are the listed resources. Resources: Solving Systems of Equations by Graphing Notes Solving Systems of Equations by Graphing Hallway Scavenger Hunt Solving Systems of Equations by Substitut

This escape room allows students to practice their skills of solving systems of equations and progress with only correct answers. The escape room has 3 waves so that there is one for each method of solving systems of equations. (Substitution, Elimination and Graphing) There are even two timed bonus rounds where you must answer the questions before a full nuclear meltdown! Directions: Students will be given a worksheet with the questions that has space to solve each question and write answers. S

This escape room has students find common factors or excluded values to move through a maze of answers and escape the zapped path! Any wrong answer will require you to restart so be careful! A common factor is what would cancel out or could be factored out of both the numerator and denominator. An excluded value is what needs to be excluded from the problem because it will make the denominator equal zero. Directions: Students will be given a worksheet with questions and space to find the answ

This exciting activity will review writing the equation of a line, slope, y-intercepts, graphing, and can lead into solving systems of equations graphically! Students are challenged to use their knowledge of lines to escape the dangerous situation they find themselves in. This self-paced activity allows students to practice their knowledge and check as they go along. You can have students play at their own pace or play it as a collective class. Enjoy! Included Items: Activity Slides Directions/A

This mini unit takes about a week and will give you the resources needed to teach, practice and assess how to find GCF and LCMs of polynomials as well as factoring using a GCF. I use 5 days to do this mini unit and the resources in this unit are listed below. All keys provided.

This resource is over 20 pages and goes over slope-intercept form from a line as well as graphing lines from slope-intercept form. This mini unit will introduce, reinforce, and assess students understanding of slope-intercept form in 5 days if you move quickly. This resource follows my "Slope and Intercept Mini Unit Plan". As long as your students know what slope and an x-intercept is, they will be ready for this unit. Keys for everything included! Below are all resources offered in this unit pl

This mini unit is over 20 pages long and goes over changing equations into slope-intercept form, finding slope-intercept form when given points, and introduction to point slope form. Students should be familiar with Slope-Intercept Form before this unit! This follows my "Slope-Intercept and Graphing Lines" mini unit but can be skipped if your students know slope-intercept form. There are pdf answer keys for everything as well as Google documents of the worksheets, studyguide, and tests! Below I

This mini unit has everything you need to introduce slope as well as find x and y intercepts. There are guided notes for each part, a hallway scavenger hunt for practice, a study guide, and a two version quiz. Keys included for everything! This mini unit could take as little as one school week if you need to move quickly or longer if you have more time! Below is a list of all included resources. (PDF File and Editable Google Doc Files) Slope Introduction Notes Slope Formula and X and Y Intercept

This worksheet is a festive way to practice graphing slope and slope-intercept form to answer the questions. There are 10 lines to graph from slope-intercept form or from a point using the slope. Students must find the path that Santa travelled and make sure he got to all of the houses. There is a bonus part that has students make the equation of the line to help Santa get to the last house and then to the North Pole. The answer key in included! Students graph 10 lines. They will answer question

This worksheet includes a crossword puzzle using terms that are more common for this unit. Some words/clues are more challenging to force students to do the math problems for extra letters. Each two-step equation solved gives an extra letter for the crossword puzzle. Enjoy! Included: Puzzle and Questions Worksheet Answer Key

The following free resource is a guided notes worksheet that goes over simplifying square roots both with perfect squares and not perfect squares. (I use the factor tree method.) Please let me know if you have any questions and visit my page for more resources!
