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

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.

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).

Provide your students with some extra practice on ellipses! This practice worksheet contains 16 examples that range from graphing ellipses to rewriting equations in standard form.

Provide students with additional practice on circles. This resource includes 16 examples that cover graphing circles, writing circle equations from features, and rewriting equations in standard form of a circle.

This resource provides practice with graphing rational functions. The six examples provided do not include slant asymptotes. Answer key not provided.
