This is a Menus Project I created this past year to incorporate differentiated instruction into my lessons. Students make choices as to which parts they want to complete. All students are required to accumulate 40 points to earn full credit. Some topics in this project are slope, y-intercept, functions, and standard form of a linear function.

This 10 page guide covers all main topics that will be on the Regents. Some of the topics include linear equations, quadratics, surface area and volume, statistics, probability and operations with polynomials to name a few. This is a great tool to have students work on as homework, classwork, or a combination of both. I give this to my classes each year as the main tool they will need to be successful on the regents.

This 60+ page pdf document gives guided notes, examples, classwork, homework, and review materials for the Transformations Unit which is part of the NYS Integrated Geometry curriculum. Topics discussed in this pdf are translations, rotations, reflections, dilations, symmetry and composition of transformations.

This game is a mach powerpoint of the actual game that is seen on TV. This is great with classes small and large. Questions and answers can be easily edited, so this can be used with any topic and any subject. Hope you enjoy this powerpoint!

This is a Menus project I created that tie in different uses of statistical measures. Each student is required to choose an entree, side dish, dessert, and try all options of the appetizers to earn full credit of 100 points. Some sections of this project do require the use of materials students or teachers may need to bring in to the classroom. Computers can be used to help students type their questions or paragraphs that are required to complete each part. I also have access to a video and dig

This 60 page set of Guided Notes go through topics covered in the NYS Integrated Geometry Regents on Constructions, Equations of Circles, Locus, and Compound Locus. The Days are set up for 80 minute blocks and are broken down as follows: Day 1: Constructions Day 2: Constructions Day 3: Circles in the Coordinate Plane Day 4: Review of Days 1-3 Day 5: Locus Day 6: Compound Locus in the Coordinate Plane Day 7: Review of Locus Day 8: Review of Entire Unit Guided Examples, Vocab, Practice, and HW a

This is a product I created to encompass all topics dealing with Graphing and Solving Quadratic Functions. Some of the topics students need to know for this activity are minimum, maximum, roots of a quadratic, standard form of a quadratic, vertex, and axis of symmetry. Students make choices based on the menu and are required to do certain parts of each section to earn full credit. I usually give students 3 class days (60 mins per class) and a week total to complete the project.

This game I borrowed and changed from one of my co-workers. It is very user-friendly and can be used by any subject area. One suggestion with having students answer questions is to give whiteboards to each student or a couple per group. Enjoy!

This is a set of 5 cumulative exams for the New York State Integrated Algebra Curriculum. The units covered in these assessments include, Solving Linear Equations, Statistics, Linear Functions, Systems of Linear Functions, Inequalities and Rational Expressions. Each exam varies in length from 10 to 17 questions, and all new exams combine the new material with the material from the prior units. Each exam varies in length from 30 to 60 minutes. Every question in these tests has the NYS performance

This is an activity I use to review for a test or assessment. There are 5 different stations worth of questions (with answers provided). Students need to show their work on the Answer Sheet provided to earn full credit. Each station takes approximately 10-15 minutes depending on the level of students in your class. I can usually finish this activity in an 80 minutes block. The stations are on the following topics 1.) Solving Systems by Graphing 2.) Solving Systems by Elimination 3.) Factoring a

This activity discusses the relationship between exponential growth and decay, along with helping students develop the pattern formed during an exponential model. Students complete two activities, one involving folding a simple piece of paper, the second is based on cutting pieces of yarn. Each activity has a set of questions that students can answer or can be part of a teacher or student lead discussion. A fun activity that gets students working together and interacting with mathematical relat

This group of assignments is supplemental material to help students prepare for the Algebra Common Core Regents. There are a total of 9 assignments with 25-30 pages of multiple choice and short answer questions to help students review the following topics: 1.) Measures of Central Tendency 2.) Creating Functions 3.) Applying Function Rules 4.) Polynomials 5.) Quadratic Functions 6.) Statistics 7.) Solving Equations/Inequalites 8.) Exponential Functions 9.) Systems of Equations/Inequalities Th

This is my collection of 10 On Time Quizzes I created to have students complete as they enter into class. I use these each day and they are based on Integrated Algebra Regents test questions. I generally give each class from 5 to 8 minutes to complete each daily OTQ. I collect the OTQ after each day and grade them on a scale of 0 to 2 based on showing work and correctness.

This is a 33 page document that details how to do geometry proofs with the use of the coordinate plane. Guided notes are designed to allow students to discover the necessary steps and properties needed to prove triangles, parallelograms, rhombuses, rectangles, squares, and trapezoids. I have used this over the course of about 5 class periods with 80 minute blocks. The preview file is 3 of the pages from the entire document, one warm-up, one guided notes, and one solution for guided notes.

This project is a great way to incorporate sports into the classroom. Students create a set of graphs (bar graph, circle graph, double-bar graph) and questions that their classmates can answer when completed. This is an information sheet about the project. Students will need to use the internet to complete this project.

This 36 page document contains CW,HW, Warm-up, Summary and Exit Tickets on the NYS Integrated Algebra Unit on Pythagorean Theorem and Trigonometric Ratios. All guided notes are perfect for teachers that have students with disabilities or have English as a Second Language. I have had great success using these units with a wide variety of students. The lessons included are: Lesson 1: Pythagorean Theorem Lesson 2: Finding Trig Ratios in Right Triangles Lesson 3: Use Trig Ratios to find lengths Les

This lab is an investigation of the diameter and circumference of circles. The goal with this lab to have the class discover the irrational number pi. Works great in small groups, individually, or with an entire class.

This menus project is great example of differentiated instruction at work. Students are allowed to make choices about what types of assignments they would like to complete. The ultimate goal is to earn 50 points to achieve a grade of 100. This assignment deals with all topics including Linear Functions, Quadratic Functions, Probability, Statistics, Measurement, Systems of Equations, and Systems of Inequalities.

This is a collection of 10 On Time Quizzes that I have used throughout the year in my Integrated Algebra class. Each contains five practice Regents questions with some hints added to guide students who may not completely understand the question. These cover all topics from Linear Functions, Quadratic Functions, Trig, Solving Equations, and Radicals. These are best used at the beginning or ending of class and take from 5-7 minutes to complete. I usually go over the question by allowing students

This is the 2nd Unit I have completed with my students in the NYS Algebra 2 Trigonometry curriculum. The topics have been divided up by day and are listed below and in the table of contents on the 2nd page. Lesson 1: Solve Absolute Value Equations Lesson 2: Solve Absolute Value Inequalities Lesson 3: Solve and Graph Quadratic Inequalities Lesson 4: Solve Rational Inequalities Homework answers are provided at the end of the unit. This document is 30 pages and contains all Guided Notes, Classwo
