This is a 10 question scavenger hunt designed for students taking AP Precalculus where students practice solving polynomial inequalities with and without a calculator. This activity is designed to get students up and moving while working problems, but can be assigned individually or in small groups. Students receive instant feedback as they search to find their answers to get to the next problem.

This is a 10 question scavenger hunt where students practice using Pascal's Triangle and the Binomial Theorem to expand binomial expressions. The problems include finding a specified term, finding the coefficient, solving for the unknown given a particular terms, and determining which term has a given characteristic.

This is a 10 questions scavenger hunt where students solve rational inequalities both algebraically and by reading a graph. Every problem is solvable without a calculator. There are also a couple problems asking students to draw sign diagrams as I find they try to skip this step when I teach the concept. This activity is self checking as students search for their answer to progress.

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt I used with my IB AI class as a review of 3D geometry focused in Surface Area and Volume. The questions range from simple surface area and volume to applied problems.

This is a scavenger hunt that I made for my students to practice writing the equations for sine and cosine graphs given different parameters. The problems include written descriptions of graphs as well as graphs themselves where students are asked to write an equation that would produce the graph. I have included a couple of duplicate letters using equivalent equations depending on how the students writes the equation. This made for some fun conversations as students would use different phase sh

This is a 16 question circuit where students practice working with the equations of lines, gradient, distance, and midpoint formulas. The questions include finding and applying gradient, writing the equations of lines, parallel and perpendicular gradient relationships, and calculating distance and midpoint (2D and 3D). I used this as a self checking activity for my IB juniors to practice their skills working with gradient, lines, distance and midpoint.

This is a 10 question scavenger hunt where students practice analyzing the graphs of polar functions. Student are asked questions involving domain, rate of change and about characteristics of the graphs.

This scavenger hunt allows students to practice working with Probability distributions. Problems include probability distributions, binomial probabilities, and expected value.

This is a 10 question scavenger hunt designed for students taking AP Precalculus where students practice solving problems involving polynomial division(long and synthetic) and the factor Theorem. This activity is designed to get students up and moving while working problems, but can be assigned individually or in small groups. Students receive instant feedback as they search to find their answers to get to the next problem.

This is a 10 question scavenger hunt where students find sine and cosine models for various situations. The applications included are Ferris wheel problems, tide models, simple harmonic motion, and pendulums.

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt where students answer questions related to exponential functions. Topics include, asymptotes, intercepts, growth rate, increasing/decreasing behavior, and end behavior using limit notation. This activity can be used with a graphing calculator or without to increase rigor. The hunt should take approx 20 minutes

This is a 24 question circuit where students are asked to determine the special characteristics of rational functions. Topics include asymptotes, intercepts, limits and end behavior, and holes. Students receive instant feedback as they search for their answers to guide them to the next problem. A key is provided if students get stuck and need your assistance. The first three pages should be printed for the students.

This is a 12 question circuit where students are asked to determine the degree of polynomial models by calculating successive finite differences. They are also asked to find various regression models using their graphing calculator. Circuits provide students immediate feedback as they search for their solutions to advance in the circuit.

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt where students will find characteristics of rational functions. Topics include, asymptotes, limit notation, intercepts, and holes. Each question will lead the students to the next as they find their answer. Please note: These questions are the same as those found in my rational function circuit.

This is a scavenger hunt where students practice working with normal distribution problems. Problems include the normal distribution, the standard normal distribution, percentiles, and k-values.

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt where students can apply their skills in solving problems related to circles. The problems include arc length, area of a sector, area of a triangle, and perimeter.

This is a 10 question scavenger hunt to help your students understand the relationships between sine, cosine, and tangent and the terminal points of angles drawn in standard position. These questions are meant to take students beyond just knowing the values of the special angles on the unit circle and help them apply that understanding in a more general sense. Problems include asking students to find angles, radius values, sine, cosine, and tangent values and more. I think this activity would t

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt where students will practice solving problems using Trig relationships. The topics included are right triangle trig, Sine rule, Cosine Rule, Area of non-right triangles, Arc length and Area of a sector. This activity is self checking as students search for their solutions to progress through the hunt.

This is a 10 question scavenger hunt where students will apply their understanding of periodic behavior. Students are asked to determine the amplitude, period, concavity, and whether functions are increasing or decreasing on given intervals. They are also asked to describe behaviors of functions using interval notation. Several questions ask students to take what is seen in one complete cycle of a function and predict the behavior of the graph to the right or left.

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt where students practice using the double angle formulas for sine and cosine. The questions ask students to solve for sin2x, cosine2x, and tan2x given information about the angle or triangle. Students are also asked to evaluate expressions using their understanding of the unit circle and the double angle formulas.
