This is an activity for high school math students that can consolidate their understanding of the fundamental counting principle and permutations and link it to the concept of probability and statistics. Students roll a set of three dice repeatedly and generate a frequency graph. Then they examine the theoretical probabilities for dice outcomes to compare it to their experimental data.

This is a midterm review activity for my student's first semester of calculus. It's focused on applications of derivatives and includes questions about curve sketching, the mean value theorem, linear approximations, related rates, optimization and L'Hopital's rule. It's geared as a review of differential calculus before students start learning about antiderivatives. When I teach, this is done as a carousel activity where students move to different stations which are timed and work on the questio

This is a handout which can be given to student as a step by step "manual" for factoring quadratics with the decomposition method. I usually give it to them with the step by step example on one side of the page and the factoring flow chart on the back of the page. My students have really appreciated having this in front of the them when they are first learning how to factor quadratic polynomials.
