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

These guided notes review multiplying monomials and binomials before teaching two special cases, difference of two squares and squaring a binomial. The step by step instructions go through foiling and give opportunities to discuss student common mistakes. Happy multiplying, Kelly Zunkiewicz

Pattern Puzzles are a great way to change the pace of class. They can be used as bellwork, a short individual or small group activity, exit activity, or review. I have included four different pattern puzzles in this file to allow for station work or multiple practice activities. Each problem of solving systems of equations by elimination is a little different. Students must take the given steps and put them in order to solve the system. Even your lower level students will be successful with this

These guided notes will start your students off with bellwork on solving by graphing and what a solution means. Understanding the vocabulary is essential to your students' success. Then begin with basic problems using the substitution method of solving and guide them through 2 moderate level questions and solving with three variables. An answer key is included. Enjoy!

The Scientific Notation Notes simplify the process of converting numbers greater and less than one into scientific notation and back out of scientific notation. The notes are in chart format to separate the different types of conversions. The second page covers multiplying and dividing with scientific notation. There are examples for each type of question and 20 total practice problems. I have used this for several years in my own classroom and found it to be very successful. Students liked the
