Parallel and Perpendicular Slope Exploration
Perpendicular and Parallel Slope Exploration gives students a chance to discover the relationship of slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They will use Desmos slider bar tools to do so. (Click here to see an example of how slider bars work.) Students will record their discovered parallel and perpendicular equations in tables. The tables are followed by leading questions about slope relationships and check for understanding problems. To conclude the activity, teachers can provide students

Solve Equations Model Investigation
Help students understand the true meaning of solving an equation as represented by a graph model. Students will investigate to develop the concept that solving an equation is the same as finding the point of intersection when both sides of the equation are graphed. Questions are scaffolded to build the concept from the solution of linear systems to the solution of a quadratic and linear system. Included in this activity is: ♦2 basic linear equations to investigate ♦2 challenging linear equa

Trigonometry Playdough Mats
Angle of Elevation and Angle of Rotation
In these two playdough mats, students use playdough to practice their Angle of Rotation and Angle of Elevation skills. Because the use of playdough is “big and bold”, the teacher can easily and formatively assess student understanding.
The Angle of Rotation mat has students start with color coding the initial side and terminal side of an angle. It then moves students through creating both positive and negative angles of rotation, as well as angles a

Proof Tips Foldable Notes
Students struggle with proofs for many reasons. Often, when given information, they do not know where start. Students need to think that if they are proving triangles are congruent, “how can I use SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS”. If they are showing lines are parallel on a graph, “how can I use slope”, etc.
This resource can be used a variety of ways to help students determine where to go with the given information. Pages 3 & 4 can be given to students as a handout. Pages 5-8 are designed to be used

Graph Point Slope Form Using Desmos
In this technology based activity, students will use Desmos.com to gain understanding of writing equations of lines in Point Slope Form and finding Domain and Range. Students are given a link to a Desmos shooting star design which has been made with tables. They are asked to find the equation of each line used to make the design. Students are open to write equations in slope intercept form or point slope form, however, point slope form is easier for this activity. Students are also asked to

Factoring Trinomials Graphic Organizer Dry Erase Mat
Students usually catch on to factoring trinomials when the a = 1, but they have a harder time when the a does not equal 1. This factoring mat will help students organize their ideas for pairs of factors.
Since factoring trinomials is often a trial and error process, it can be frustrating for students. Therefore, this mat is intended to be used as dry erase marker activity. The printed sheets can be placed in sheet protectors, or you can use more durable protectors such as these. It is als

Often students are asked to participate in fundraising to support their school and/or organizations, but how do those organizations set goals for selling? In this activity, students will use their knowledge of graphing systems of inequalities (or linear programming) to propose fundraising goals. The scenario the students work through is a real life scenario that occurred in my school. In the introduction, students brainstorm possible solutions to this problem, then the activity walks them thr

Scatterplot, Point Slope Form, Slope Intercept Form: Fast Food Activity
In this activity, students will analyze calories and fat fast food sandwiches. They will collect data, create a scatterplot, and generate a line of best fit. Then they will use this information to create equations in Slope Intercept Form and Point Slope Form. The equations will be used for making predictions and inferences. Students are encouraged to work in groups to collect the data to help “divide and conquer” the work. This activity can be used as an introduction to PSF and SIF or as a su
