Intro to Geometry Notes Booklet

This is the week long set of notes I made for my algebra kiddos to prepare them for geometry! Most of this is a review of 8th grade math but is likely things they have forgotten after spending all year working on linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. I will be using a mathematics software my school pays for (IXL- IT ROCKS) to supplement their practice after covering the notes/questions in this booklet. This will take my kids a full 3 days (maybe 4) prior to starting our end of year final

Reference & Co-terminal Angles (Degree Only) Coloring Page

This is a chance for your older bunch to be able to color as well! My seniors love when we have coloring pages so I am trying to incorporate more of them into our practice time. This assignment covers finding the co-terminal angle between 0-360 of positive and negative given angles as well as finding the reference angle for any angles within Q1-4. (The entire page is in degrees, I also have the same page available in radians, as well as a combo half degree half radian. Please note that they woul

Factoring Trinomials Unit Test (4 Versions)

This is a summative assessment that covers all of trinomial factoring including when a is 1 and a positive or negative number not equal to 1. There is also a couple problems with GCF only from a binomial and the extra credit is a difference of squares as some students see these as having a middle term of 0. There are four versions included with all problems comparable in the same order just with different numbers. I gave this after a few weeks of factoring review with my students prior to our ra

Unit Circle, Trig Ratios, and Identities Cheat Sheet

A one stop shop for your students to use as a journal bookmark or instead of a notes index card on assessments. Print 2 sheets to a page on colored paper for the perfect size to keep in a composition notebook during your Trigonometry unit! Has a fully filled out unit circle, trig ratios for triangular and circular trig, signs of trig ratios by quadrant, and all identities (reciprocal, quotient, pythagorean).

Reference & Co-terminal Angles (Deg and Rad) Coloring Page

This is a chance for your older bunch to be able to color as well! My seniors love when we have coloring pages so I am trying to incorporate more of them into our practice time. This assignment covers finding the co-terminal angle between 0-360/2pi of positive and negative given angles as well as finding the reference angle for any angles within Q1-4. (The page is half in degrees and half in radians, I also have the same page available in radians, as well as only degrees. Please note that they w

Cut N Build: Pythagorean Theorem & Trig Ratios (Shape Puzzle)

This is a shape puzzle where students are given 9 triangles and will build one large shape with all their triangles stuck together so they can answer the riddle at the top of the page. The skills needed are working understanding of the pythagorean theorem, trig ratios, simplifying radicals, and rationalizing radical denominators.This is a type of activity that I have my students complete in pairs, but everyone turns in their own student workspace paper so I can see that everyone knows how to do

Reference & Co-terminal Angles Coloring Page Bundle (All units)

This is a bundle including all three versions of my astronaut coloring sheet that practices finding reference and co-terminal angles in degrees and radians! (You can do degree only, radian only, or a half and half combo sheet.) There is a significant overlap in questions (about half) between the degree only/half degree and the radian only/half radian so I do not think this would work as multiple separate assignments in a row but could if you do them some time apart for students to not be able to

Factoring Trinomial Card Game/Relay

This is intended to be a partner or group game in which students work collaboratively to get correct answers. The questions include coefficients of negative and positive numbers and are predominantly greater than 1. There are a couple problems where it asks the student to find the solutions and graph the quadratic, you can easily leave those out if only wanting factoring. This packet includes all question cards, instructions, an answer key, and the blank student worksheet.

Cut N Build: Deg/Rad Angle Conversions (Shape Puzzle)

This is a shape puzzle where students are given 12 triangles and will build one large shape with all their triangles stuck together so they can answer the riddle at the top of the page. The skills needed are working understanding of the degrees, radians, and how to convert between the two.This is a type of activity that I have my students complete in pairs, but everyone turns in their own student workspace paper so I can see that everyone knows how to do the problems.

Show What You Know (1st Day of School Skills Assessment)

I like to do a "show what you know" as part of our first day of school procedure to help students get their math brain kickstarted after summer break! This one was what I use for my on level pre-calculus students (but would also be very appropriate for geometry or algebra 2) to get a handle on their mental proficiency of integer operations, exponent/radical knowledge, and their recall of trinomial factoring. I normally take this as a chance for them to learn the skill of "trade and grade" so the

Teaching style

-Mainly student centered around balancing below grade level skills with being ethical in still teaching the course students are assigned to even if the traditional course rigor is not possible for where students are. -Student collaboration is a daily expectation -Equal balance of timed and untimed paper/computer activities
