Radical Function Murder Mystery Activity
Originally designed for 19 students, one student has been "radically" murdered and another student did the dastardly deed! Students use their knowledge of radical functions, transformations, and characteristics of functions (domain, range, x- and y-intercepts) to figure out just who murdered who!

Intercepts of Polynomial Functions Murder Mystery
Great hands-on, student-focused review activity for finding x- and y-intercepts of polynomial functions. All factoring is GCF, trinomials, difference of squares, and factor by grouping. Terrific for remediation! Designed for 13 students or 26 students--if 13, each student has both intercepts; if 26, each student has one or the other. If you like this one, try the Radical Functions Murder Mystery! It's my best seller!

Experience

Teaching style
I consider myself pretty traditional (basic instruction with class participation) with lots of creative fun activities included. I hate boring worksheets, hence the activities I've added to my store here!
