This multiple choice puzzle will offer practice on simplifying and evaluating exponential expressions involving rational exponents and radical expressions. When students simplify the expression and choose the correct response, they will be completing a fact about the Winter Olympic games. Included is a back side for students to show their work.

This activity can be used as a classroom activity to reinforce the concept of translations of the absolute value parent function. I use the activity after we have gone through a few examples together. The activity works best in groups of 2, but you could have them work in groups of 3 or 4 if necessary. Pages one and two should be copied and distributed to each student. Page 3 contains functions that may or may not match the graphs on the handouts. I print page 3 on cardstock, cut, and place

This multiple choice puzzle will offer practice on factoring trinomials where all 3 terms are positive, and the leading coefficient is 1. When students factor the trinomial and choose the correct response, they will be completing a fact about the NCAA Final Four. Included is a back side for students to show their work.

This trivia puzzle has 8 multiple choice questions concerning the first three rounds of the 2017 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. In order to choose the correct answer to each trivia question, students will solve a problem related to transformations written in function form. The problems correspond to Common Core Standard G-CO.2. The PDF includes a two-page worksheet, with trivia questions on page one and space for students to show work on page two. The third page of the PDF is an answer k

In this activity, students will choose the best method for writing the equation of a line, based on the way in which the line is described. Page 2 of this document is the handout for student use. Page 3 is the teacher’s key. Page 4 contains the descriptions for each line. I print these on card stock, cut, and place in baggies for my students. I use this activity towards the end of my Linear Functions unit. Students have already learned to write the equations of lines earlier in the unit.

This is an update from th 2015 puzzle - new facts have been added for this year's tournament. This trivia puzzle has 8 multiple choice questions concerning the Regional Semifinals (Sweet 16) of the 2017 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. In order to choose the correct answer to each trivia question, students will solve a problem related to defining translations and reflections. The problems correspond to Common Core Standard G-CO.4. The PDF includes a two-page worksheet, with trivia questions

This multiple choice puzzle will offer practice on simplifying exponential expressions using the properties of exponents for products. When students simplify the expression and choose the correct response, they will be completing a fact about the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. Included is a back side for students to show their work. Properties included: Product of Powers, Power of a Power, and Power of a Product. Includes an answer key.

This worksheet asks students to choose the best method to graph a linear equation, based on the form in which it is presented - slope-intercept form, point-slope form, or standard form. I use this worksheet with my Algebra I students towards the end of the Linear Functions unit. They have already learned how to graph lines from all three forms earlier in the unit.

This is a group problem solving activity to use with Solving Systems of Linear Equations. Students should already know how to solve a system by substitution, elimination, and graphing. Upon completion of this activity, students will have created and solved 3 systems of equations to model real world scenarios. In this activity, students should be divided into groups of 3 or 4. I print enough copies of the handout so that each student has their own. I also print enough copies of the applica

This 2-page document includes 5 problems with data compiled from the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Students are expected to: • create a relative frequency distribution • create a bar graph • calculate all measures of central tendency and dispersion (from raw data and frequency distributions) • answer basic questions about data in which the distribution is bell shaped
