Looking for a whimsical way of providing check-your-understanding problems or to review systems of equations? •This deck of 16 task cards includes system of equation problems with the variables x, y, and z being replaced with Halloween-themed pictures. •The deck contains: •8 cards with 2 equations and 2 unknowns•4 cards with 3 equations and 3 unknowns•4 cards with word problems involving 2 unknowns •The problems start off easy and get increasingly more difficult •Cards can be used for grou

Purpose: This lesson reviews common exponent configurations using whole number exponents. A brief review of each problem type is provided along with some sample problems. The following problems are included: -- Positive base raised to Positive exponent -- Negative base raised to Positive exponent -- Positive base raised to Negative exponent -- Negative based raised to Negative exponent -- Fractional bases --Exponents equal to 1 ,-1, and 0 Because explanations and examples are provided, stude

Go beyond “I do, we do, you do”. More thinking, less process. This lesson can be used to introduce students to functions, or as a review of how to recognize a function from a chart, set of points, and a graph. Students work through examples using tables, point coordinates and graphs. Reflection questions are provided at that end to reinforce the concepts. Check Your Understanding problems include 9 mild (easy) problems, 8 medium problems, and 5 spice (more thought-provoking) problems.

•This deck of 12 task cards can be used as a review of graph characteristics of several function families, or as a pre-assessment to determine how familiar students are with the vocabulary used to describe the shape of graphs. •The task cards include the following functions: linear, absolute value, quadratic, exponent, logarithm, the reciprocal function (1/x), and a cubic. •Each graph can be described using several characteristics, so students can provide different answers.
