Making sense of slope-intercept word problem scenarios! Students will come up with the equation that represents the scenario, describe and label what the x and y-values represent in context of the scenario, fill in a table of values, and graph the equation. There are 8 different scenarios of varying levels of difficulty. There are 16 additional questions that encourage students to determine the validity of a solution based on the scenario. There are two Christmas themed problems (candles and ear

A fun and collaborative way to practice simplifying expressions using the distributive property and combining like terms. There are 20 questions in total. This activity can be used as task cards or as a whole class Trashketball competition! Suggestions for the trashketball game and answer key are included in the Google Slideshow.

A great group activity to practice connecting the graph, equation, and descriptions of absolute value function translations. The activity includes 12 horizontal and vertical translations of absolute value functions. In groups, students will match the corresponding graph, equation, and translation description. The functions all include the same numbers (1, 3, and 4) so students have to pay close attention to the position and sign for each number. After completing the matching activity, there is

Sum It Up: A low-prep, collaborative activity on evaluating different functions. Perfect for an end of the semester review or a quick check for understanding about each type of function. There are 5 sets of functions for a total of 25 unique problems. Each set covers one of the following types of functions: • Linear functions with integer values • Linear functions with rational slopes • Absolute value functions • Quadratic functions in standard form • Quadratic functions in vertex form

A quick, fun, low-prep practice on solving quadratic equations using square roots. The 16 problems include real solutions that are rational and irrational. In the PDF, I include suggestions for how to use the task cards including directions to my favorite whole class game: ZAP!
