Squatchy Math Quests

CONTENT: This activity covers graphing all four conic sections (circles, ellipses, hyperbolas, and parabolas). The questions will ask for characteristics of the graph (location of special points, asymptotes, ect), match equations to graphs, or rewrite equations by completing the square. HOW A CIRCUIT ACTIVITY WORKS: Students may start on any station. They need a graphing calculator to make it through the stations. Have students read the problem at the station, and determine the correct answer.

Student split into pairs - student A and student B. Each pair has different problems to do, but their answers are the same. This creates an opportunity for students to solve problems independently, explain their answers to another, and check for understanding.

This set of 16 flashcards have students identify holes, end behavior, asymptotes and intercepts of Rational Functions using their equation. Print multiple copies back to back, cut into 8 pieces, and give students an opportunity to practice.
