The card set consists of Polygons in 2 and 3 dimensions. The student is instructed to find the Perimeter, Area or Volume of each Polygon and then match their answer to the appropriate polynomial.

This is a four day, warm up activity. It gives students an opportunity to work together informally.  They learn from each other.They become comfortable with other learning stylesThey are able to evaluate and receive criticism in a safe environment.Social Emotional Learning OpportunityI do this activity during the first week of school. I start on day 2 as a warm up activity and continue to use it as a warm up activity on days 3, 4 and 5 of my secondary math classes. Each day requires 15 minutes o

This worksheet contains two examples and 18 problems ranging from easy to advanced. Space is provided to calculate solutions algebraically and number lines for graphical representations of the solution. Mastery of these problems is fundamental to success in Algebra.

Prime Factorization is critical to encryption programs. I do this activity on day 3 of any secondary math class. It requires 20 minutes of class time.  This activity is a review of concepts and terminology that the students will use throughout the year: Prime numbers, Factoring, Products, Exponents, Factor Tree Answers are provided Targets: Define Prime FactorizationSolve for Prime FactorizationRecognize that prime factorization is used for encryptionTo identify prime number and composite number

Algebra word problem that integrates order of operations, fractions, collecting like terms and multi-step critical thinking. Includes an example I like to use this as an introduction to Algebra II and PreCalculus. I assign it on day 1, for credit and I have it due on day 5. All week long I use the last few minutes of class to revisit the problem and discuss problem solving strategies with the students. It is also appropriate to use as an enrichment activity for PreAlgebra, Algebra 1 and Geometry
