Students often struggle over creating expressions to solve from word problems. I have created this resource to help guide them and see the patterns in the various types of quadratic word problems that they can encounter. In this activity, students will paste the correct equations to the quadratic word problems. An answer key is provided which makes this activity very student directed. This allows teachers to focus individually on the students. Because the students get to choose their answer fro

Graphic Organizers for analytical geometry. There are so many little steps to finding: 1. Altitudes 2. Right bisectors 3. Medians 4. Distance to a line 5. Properties of a polygon These graphic organizers will help the student layout the steps in a clear manner for all 5 of these types of geometrical properties and problems.
