Shaffer's Secondary Math Resources

This is a matching puzzle in which students must simplify, multiply, and divide radical expressions. There are no variables involved.

This document is a worksheet for solving systems of equations. Students may choose their method (substitution, elimination, or graphing) and are given an answer bank to match the system of equations to the correct answer. Blank graphs are provided if students wish to graph. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

This is a Jeopardy style review game for the statistics portion of Algebra 1. It covers one variable statistics topics such as five number summaries, box and whisker plots, and histograms. It is a PowerPoint format which can easily be projected on a SMART/Promethean Board. If you use a projector, the best way to click the icons (such as answer and home) is to click the icons on your laptop/computer.

This is a domino style game in which students match rational exponents with their radical expressions. There are a total of 12 dominos. There is a start domino and a finish domino- they do not make a complete loop.

Do your students get lost when working with sampling distributions? Do they forget what conditions to check? And when to use which formulas? Then this flowchart is for you! It provides an outline on the different types of sampling distributions along with formulas and conditions to check.

This is a worksheet with 10 practice problems in which students use the Triangle Proportionality Theorem to solve for x to find missing side lengths. There is an answer key included on the third page.

This is a one-page document that has two columns-- one column is the steps to factor a trinomial using the box method and the second column is an example of the steps being worked out.

This activity is a domino matching style activity. One half of each domino is a transformed exponential equation and the other half of each domino is a written description of the transformation that occurred. The only functions addressed are exponential and the only transformations included are translations - left/right/up/down shifts. There is a "go" and an "end" domino so students know where to start and end. Students can either glue the dominoes onto chart paper when finished, or leave th

This is a Jeopardy review game on circles. Topics include: parts of a circle, chords of a circle, arcs and angles, inscribed quadrilaterals, and intersecting chords and secants.

This worksheet includes 15 practice with factoring trinomials, as well as special cases such as difference of two squares and factoring by grouping. An answer key is attached.

In this worksheet, students will be given 14 exponential equations to solve. The use of logarithms is not required. As students finish the problems, they will fill in the blanks of a random fact!

This worksheet is a single page and includes 10 absolute value functions. For each functions, students identify the values of a, h, and k and then use these values to identify the different types of transformations that have occurred from the parent function.

This worksheet includes 20 practice problems on finding probabilities using the standard normal distribution. Includes finding probabilities for less than a given value, greater than a given value, and between two given values.

This worksheet is a single page and includes 10 square root functions. For each functions, students identify the values of a, h, and k and then use these values to identify the different types of transformations that have occurred from the parent function.

This worksheet includes 10 practice questions. For each question, students are given 2 rational expressions for which they need to find the least common denominator. Skills required include: factoring quadratic trinomials (a=1 and a not 1) and factoring the difference of two squares. Answers are included.

This is a crossword puzzle which contains various terms and definitions associated with circles. Zip file includes an editable MS Word document as well as a PDF version. Terms include: circle, arc, tangent line, secant line, and chord Can be used at the beginning of Unit 3 in Analytic Geometry or as a review.

This foldable goes over the following vocabulary terms: terms, coefficients, degree, constants, leading coefficient, and leading term. It should be copied 2 sides (flip on the short edge). Students can cut along the lines and then fold the terms over the definition/example. Answer key is included.

In this activity, students will match graphs, equations in standard form and vertex form and characteristics (transformations, vertex, axis of symmetry, y-int, x-int, extrema, range, positive/negative, increasing/decreasing). Characteristics are provided in both inequality notation and interval notation. Answer sheet for students to glue their answers are included. There is a total of 6 quadratic functions included.

This foldable includes steps for graphing rational functions as well as space to work through 3 examples. Steps used in this foldable include: - finding holes, asymptotes, and intercepts - graphing asymptotes as dashed lines - graphing intercepts as points - graphing holes as open circles - having students use their calculator to find a table of values to help graph the rest of the function

This worksheet includes 6 scatterplots. For each graph, students are to match it to a written description of the correlation and a correlation coefficient value that would make the most sense.
