Many students find it difficult to identify the Hypotenuse, and Adjacent and Opposite sides when learning Right Triangle Trigonometry. This worksheet shows an easy 5 step method to help those students who are struggling with the concept. The worksheet starts with some introductory notes, then there are two worked out examples, two triangles for guided examples, and independent practice.

In this set of worksheets (with partial answer keys), students are guided to discover how function notation works. The first worksheet guides students to discover how an independent value is replaced in the function to solve for the function value. The second worksheet guides students to discover how to solve for the variable given the function value. The third worksheet is a combination of both types of problems.

This worksheet (and accompanying key) shows two methods of calculating the geometric mean given two extremes, and calculating the missing extreme given the geometric mean and a known extreme. There are visual organizers for the visual learners as well as written directions for the more language oriented learners. There is also a geometric explanation of the geometric mean (with right triangles). There are 3 pages of notes, and 4 pages of problems. There are 24 problems, each of one of two types

This PowerPoint is a scaffolded lesson to teach rounding. There are several sections: Place ValueApproximating Two Digit NumbersRounding: Part 1 (No Tricks)Rounding: Part 2 (The 5 Question)Rounding: Part 3 (The 9 Problem)Rounding: Part 4 (Decimal Point int he Middle? Number Already Has a Zero? No Problem!)Each section contains An explanation in the form of a slide with animations (no audio).A copy of the animated slide, suitable for printing.A worksheet (with key)A quick quiz (with key)After t

This Power Point shows two ways of visualizing the triangle sum theorem, through animations. At the end it has a summary slide, stating the triangle sum theorem.

This is a very step by step worksheet, geared towards students who have difficulty using the slope formula. It starts with a quick review of fractions concepts. It then has 3 parts necessary to calculate the slope: labeling one point (x, y), labeling two points (x1, y1), and using the formula. Each of the three parts has notes/explanation, a worked out example, a guided example, and independent practice.

Introduction to exponents. Includes: vocabulary (power, base, exponent), "in words" (how to read the power), exponential and standard notation and special cases (exponent of 0 and 1). Each topic has a brief introduction/example and some practice problems.

This PowerPoint shows how the independent variable is replaced in five different functions. Each slide has one function with several different values. Each value is animated so that the value in the parentheses "moves" to the x values in the function. This helps students visualize how the values are substituted when using function notation. The functions range from a very easy linear equation to a quadratic equation. The replacement values include positive and negative integers, zero, and othe

I created this number line from -10 to 10 to post vertically in a classroom. Most commercial number lines are horizontal, but I needed one that was vertical, so I created this. The number line prints in 7 pages, and needs to be assembled, but it's easy to do.

After a student struggled learning the properties of conic sections (circle, parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola), I decided to create something that contains all the properties. Students can use this as a reference when they are studying conic sections.

This is a worksheet which allows students to discover how to graph inequalities in two variables. Although this worksheet assumes that students know how to graph equations, it starts with a quick review of graphing equations. It then has 4 inequalities that are graphed, with a matching inequality for them to do, and questions to help them focus on whether the line is broken or solid and whether the graph is shaded above or below the line. It has a summary page so students can synthesize what th

This is a worksheet, with key, that describes 4 ways of factoring trinomials where the leading coefficient is not 1. The 4 ways are: guess and check, factoring by grouping, box method, and fraction method. The worksheet (and key) works through one example for each method. The steps are explained in words and there is space for students do each step (and for the teacher to do it at the board), in the key (which is where the thumbnails come from), the steps are done in red.

This is a document that contains mini lessons about scientific notation. It has the following sections: What is Scientific Notation?Scientific Notation to Standard FormStandard Form to Scientific NotationScientific Notation and CalculatorsEach section has an explanation, examples, practice, and a quick quiz. There is a bigger quiz at the end. There are keys for each practice and quiz.

This is a set of worksheets and quick quizzes about exponents. The topics included are: exponent basics, multiplying with exponents, dividing with exponents, power to power, and negative exponents. For each topic, there is a worksheet, a partial key for the worksheet, and a quick quiz. I created these worksheets for my special education students, so they go step by step, giving the students the opportunity to understand the concepts as well as to know the rules. Relevant vocabulary is also empha

Three different organizers that may help students learning to graph trig functions (especially sine and cosine). This is a Word file so the teacher can adjust it to their needs.

This is a worksheet which shows how to convert decimals to fractions to percents, and backwards. It has a good visual to remember how to do it, some examples, some practice, and a place for students to take notes on how to remember the steps.

This is an organizer for students who are learning synthetic division and require support.

This is an activity designed for small groups of students to review the laws of exponents. In this activity, students will work to create different representations for two given numbers (an integer and a fraction). The activity gives students an opportunity to move numbers while figuring out the correct representation, as well as work in groups and work with the constraints of a number bank. Four files are included: Instructions, Number Bank, Template, and Capture Sheet.

This worksheet focuses on expanding terms such as 5b^3 and (5b)^3. Many students don't see the difference between the two, so this practice helps them focus on what is the base. The worksheet starts with a review of vocabulary, and then it has 20 exercises for the students to practice writing terms in exponential and expanded notation.

This worksheet uses examples and non-examples to discover the meaning of like terms, and how to combine like terms. Examples, non-examples, and practice exercises are included.
