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 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 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 10 question scavenger hunt where students practice problems involving use of the discriminant. The problems include finding the discriminant, solving for unknowns when the number of solutions is given, and intersecting graphs.

This is a 12 question scavenger hunt where students will be asked to apply the properties of logarithms in simplifying and rewriting expressions. Please not these questions are the same as those used in my logarithm property circuit.

This is a 16 question circuit activity where students will be asked to apply the properties of logarithms to rewrite and simplify logarithmic expressions. Each question solved will lead to the next as students search for their answers. Please not that these questions are also used in my logarithm properties scavenger hunt.

This is a set of 20 task cards where students will combine functions, find inverses, solve equations, and evaluate functions. These are meant to be an introduction to function composition and inverses and deal with elementary function such as linear, quadratic, rational, and square roots. Task cards can be assigned to individuals, small groups or given as station activities. An answer key is provided.
