Do your students struggle with setting up right triangle trig problems? I know mine were, but this puzzle made a difference! Have your students choose the correct set up for these right triangle trig problems. They are all word problems with similar numbers which will require students to distinguish the difference between sine, cosine, and tangent. The puzzle will allow students to check their choices. Once they have completed the puzzle, students can solve all eight problems. They will need to

Your students will have a great time evaluating logarithms with the Logarithm War Card Game. Students will play War with the traditional War rules, but will have to evaluate the logarithm on each card to determine which player has the higher number. This activity is both educational and fun. Enjoy! The Math Lab

Add some excitement to your Algebra class with the Direct, Inverse, and Joint Variation Scavenger Hunt! Your students will work in pairs to complete variation problems placed on cards throughout your classroom. They begin at one problem, answer it, and find the answer on another card and repeat the process. This is a self check activity so students will know if they completing the problems correctly. You will be able to help struggling students while your class completes the scavenger hunt. En

My students look forward to the Unit Circle Project every year! This project takes the unit circle and has students transform it into anything they can imagine. You will be surprised and amazed at their creativity and focus. I have done this several years and continue to get new and unique projects each time. Your students will have a blast while demonstrating their knowledge of the Unit Circle. The Math Lab View student products at the link below: https://plus.google.com/photos/1132860803730

Get your students moving with the Solve It. Place It. Check It. Activity for Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences. This activity combines individual and group work in three rounds of practice. Students will identify the sequence as Arithmetic or Geometric and identify the common difference or common ratio. A worksheet for students to complete their work on is included, as well as a check for understanding section that can be used in class or for homework. Enjoy. The Math Lab

After teaching a unit on Polar Equations, use the Polar Stations to review and build your students’ confidence while identify remaining areas of weaknesses your students have. The Polar Stations include: •Converting polar coordinates to rectangular •Converting rectangular coordinates to polar •Converting polar equations to rectangular •Converting rectangular equations to polar •Matching rose equations to graphs •Identifying the number of petals, length of petals, and axe

Do you need a class starter, review, or enrichment activity on sine, cosine, and tangent values? If so, this is it! Unit Circle Dominoes are quick and easy to use in the classroom. Students can work in pairs or individually to complete the puzzle of dominoes. This activity includes sine, cosine, and tangent values in all four quadrants and axes. Students should be familiar with radians and degrees. Enjoy! The Math Lab

Get your students excited about arithmetic and geometric sequences with this math version of speed dating. Students start in two concentric circles facing one another. They "date" by identifying each others sequence as arithmetic or geometric and then identifying the d or r value. There are 30 cards in total. Your students will have a blast with Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences Speed Dating. Enjoy! The Math Lab

After introducing Circles with a center not at the origin, try using this pattern puzzle to start or end class with. Many of the problems have similar centers and radii which will assess if students understand the difference in transformations to the right, left, up and down, and also that the formula for circles is equal to r^2. Pattern Puzzles can be used as bellwork, a quick activity in class, something to end class with, or even used as review throughout the year. They are so versatile! I li

Converting degrees to radians and radians to degrees is not difficult, but students need practice. This worksheet has students convert 34 problems in a graphic organizer. Conversions couldn't be easier.

Try out this lesson plan, homework assignment, and quiz on Venn Diagrams. It is perfect for Algebra and remedial classes. The lesson takes students step by step through the vocabulary of sets and their Venn diagram representations. The examples range from low to high level questions. This bundle includes a lesson plan, teacher notes, homework assignment, and quiz. I hope you enjoy it! Kelly Zunkiewicz

This is the first of seven lessons from my unit on Sets. The lesson includes a student handout, answer key, step by step teacher instructions, and homework assignment with answer key. Students will learn the meaning of elements, subsets, the universal set, and how to apply this through practice and real world examples.

Are your students having difficulty starting conic section problems? Need a plan of attack? This graphic organizer was created to help students identify the key information and formulas needed to get started. Ellipses, parabolas, circles and hyperbolas are included. Use as a small group or individual activity. Answer key is included. The Math Lab

Assess your students knowledge of graphing linear inequalities with this puzzle. Students must match the inequality with the type of line (solid or dashed), shading (above or below) and type of slope (positive, negative, zero or undefined). You can use this as an individual activity or a small group activity. The Math Lab

This is the second lesson in my sets unit. It includes bellwork on elements and subsets, practice on complements of sets with sets of numbers and real world examples. An answer key, homework and homework answer key are included.

Try out this quick quiz for an assessment over sets, subsets, elements and complements. It is a great way to wrap up the first two lessons over sets, subsets, elements, and complements in my sets unit.
