Smith Math

Over 80 concepts are visually represented in this Calculus Word Wall. Two documents are included: 1) A pdf intended for printing and posting on the classroom wall. The sheets are formatted for 8.5"x11" paper to make printing easy. 2) A pdf intended for students to use digitally. It includes all the sheets in the word wall with hyperlinks to make navigating the document easy (see video preview). Complete with colors and student-friendly language, this Word Wall brings clarity to topics

This flow chart helps students visually understand how to classify quadrilaterals in a coordinate system. By answering Yes or No Questions the student eventually arrives at the correct classification. Both Distance Formula and Slope Formula (provided on the flow chart for easy reference) are used to answer the questions. To enhance the usefulness of the flow chart (since there are multiple ways to classify a quadrilateral) an additional "path" (based on the definition of a shape) is included at

This resource is considered a mini-unit and includes PowerPoint Lessons, Guided Notes, Homework, and Quizzes. The mini-unit takes approximately 6-8 (traditional) class days to complete. I have used these lessons in both my Algebra 2 and PreCalculus classes. The PowerPoints (accompanied with Guided Notes) were developed to help students understand (a) the key features of a graph, and (b) how to use key features to graph rational functions. An assessment (quiz) is given at the end of this min

With 20+ theorems and 15+ definitions and terms, learning properties of quadrilaterals can be overwhelming! These color graphic organizers were developed for students who struggle with math. Teachers can distribute these sheets at the beginning of the unit for students to fill out as they go, or they can be used at the end of the unit as a review activity. Students will find these resources a welcome companion, bringing clarity to an otherwise cluttered topic. Depending on your curriculum, you

This graphic organizer helps students understand the difference between discrete and continuous functions through various representations: graphs, tables, and equations. A real world example is given for each type of function to help illustrate the differences. Included in this product are: 1) Graphic Organizer pdf Sheets. There are two versions: one version with blanks for students to fill out, and a second “completed version” (i.e. no blanks) for simple reference. 2) An animated (and edita

Learning how geometric elements (segments, angles, etc.) relate to circles can be overwhelming! These color graphic organizers were developed for students who struggle with math. This resource contains 15+ formulas and 20+ terms/concepts. Teachers can distribute these sheets at the beginning of the unit for students to fill out as they go, or they can be used at the end of the unit as a review activity. Or the completed sheets (i.e. sheets without blanks to fill in) can be given to students at

This resource contains two graphic organizers. The first one helps students see how one solution, no solution, and infinitely many solutions show up in equations, in graphs, and algebraically. The second one helps students decide when to solve systems using graphing, substitution, or elimination. Included in this product are: 1) Graphic Organizer pdf sheets. There are two versions of each sheet: one version with blanks for students to fill out, and a second “completed version” (i.e. no blank

This lesson and its accompanying resources were developed to help students classify quadrilaterals in a coordinate plane. This lesson is built around a flow chart. Flow charts in general help students think through complicated ideas, and exposure to them in high school will prove useful for those who later enter fields like engineering and computer science. Included in this resource: 1) Flow Chart, which is available as a free resource ( Classifying Quadrilaterals Flow Chart) 2) A PowerPoint,

This graphic organizer helps students organize information on sequences and series. This organizer includes important formulas (recursive and explicit sequence formulas, and the sum of finite and infinite series formulas) as well as the primary goal of sequences and series problems.
