The GoalStudents will practice their skills on graphing linear equations through this 21-question worksheet. What's Included1. Two pages which include 21 questions on slope-intercept, standard, and point-slope form. 2. Worksheet begins by identifying which format the equation is in. Then it leads into identifying features of the line from the equation such as slope and special points. Finally, students will graph lines from different formats by identifying key features. 3. Answer Key

Provide your students with some extra practice on linear piecewise functions. This worksheet covers topics such as evaluating from a function and a graph, writing the function from a graph, and graphing functions. There are 12 examples total and the answer key is provided. This worksheet only covers LINEAR piecewise functions.

The GoalStudents will create their own rational function and then graph by identifying asymptotes, a point of discontinuity and additional points. The rational function will be graphed and decorated to fit a holiday ride. Use this activity as extra credit, part of an assessment, or to fill an extra day. It's intended to be a smaller project that can be finished in one period. I used large poster graph paper for students to graph. What's Included1. Rubric to score graphs a. Includes cat

Add some color to your walls with these motivational posters. It includes a set of 15 MATH posters to inspire your students.

Let your students take the lead in discovering the rules of exponents! This activity encourages students to collaborate with peers and together identify the patterns that create the rules of exponents. Students will expand exponential expressions and make conclusions about their results. In addition to the discovery worksheet of the seven rules, two graphic organizers are included.

Review the different representations of exponential functions with this worksheet. Students will practice writing equations from tables, graphs, and situations. They will also graph exponential equations and write equations from situations. The worksheet includes 20 questions that serve as a review of exponential functions. Answer key not included.

The GoalStudents will generate their own trigonometry equation using transformations. Once created, they will graph the function and create a roller coaster theme out of it. What's Included1. Rubric to score graphs 2. Rubric includes four categories: sine or cosine curve, equation, graph and creativity.

Build your own polynomial and disguise it as a gnome. The GoalStudents will create their own polynomial by identifying features such as multiplicity, zeros, turns, end behavior, maximum/minimum, y-intercept, domain, and range. The polynomial function will be graphed and disguised as a gnome. You can choose to disguise the polynomial as anything you choose. I chose a gnome since we were approaching the holiday season. Use this activity as extra credit, part of an assessment, or to fill an ext

Provide students with review on parabolas (as conics) in standard form. The worksheet provides 16 examples that range from identifying features to graphing parabolas. Its intention is to apply the form (x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k).

Has it been difficult for students to choose a method when solving quadratics? Students can decide which method is best to solve a quadratic equation by following the flowchart.

The GoalTo write notes for the graduating class or have your graduating students write a note to other students. What's Included1. Three writing templates. The first two are for teachers to write notes to their graduating students. The third template is for graduating students to share some words of advice for other students.

The GoalStudents will review the factoring of polynomials. What's Included1. Two pages of practice with 18 examples 2. Factoring topics include GCF, trinomials, difference of squares, cubes, and mixed review. 3. Answer Key

Grant students some extra practice on linear systems with this resource. It includes 15 example where students identify solutions from graphs, identify the number of solutions, solve by graphing, and solve algebraically. Answer key included.

Provide additional practice on transformations of functions! The functions covered are quadratic, absolute value, cubic, square root, and cube root. This worksheet consists of 21 examples that cover topics such as: -Identifying transformations from an equation -Writing an equation given transformations -Writing an equation from a graph -Graphing function transformations
