This resource is intended for use during the summer between Algebra II and Pre-Calculus. It consists of four main topics for students to practice before entering a rigorous Pre-Calculus class. *Please note: The problems chosen for this review/summer packet range from easy to very difficult. It is best suited towards an Honors / Pre-AP group of students.Contents: Part I: Factoring Polynomials ( 45 questions)Including GCF, difference of squares, difference of cubes, sum of cubes, perfect

Diamond Puzzles (or Diamond Problems) allow for thought-provoking practice to prepare students for algebraic factoring of trinomials in the form of x^2 + bx + c. This packet teaches students how to solve the different types of Diamond Puzzles as it builds in intensity. There are two worksheets of each of four levels (1A and 1B, 2A and 2B, 3A and 3B, 4A and 4B). All keys are also included. NOTE: This resource only uses whole numbers, not the full range of integers. It is designed to start stude

This resource is designed to be used as a review of Algebra 1. It can be assigned as a summer homework packet for students to keep their Algebra skills sharp. It can also be used to strengthen Algebra skills of students in Geometry or before taking Algebra 2. Complete keys are included.

This unit includes 14 worksheets that build from solving each type of one-step equation up to five-step equations. It also includes a summative assessment quiz. This unit requires students to be able to perform basic operations (+, -, x, and ¸) with integers. It also requires students to be proficient with fractions. Answers may be integers, fractions, or mixed numbers. Contents: · Solving 1 Step Equations (x + n type)· Solving 1 Step Equations (x – n type)· Solving 1 Step Equations (nx t

This unit includes 14 worksheets that build from solving each type of one-step equation up to five-step equations. It also includes a summative assessment quiz. This unit only requires students to work with whole numbers. There will be no use of negative numbers, fractions, or decimals.

This worksheet presents relations in many different ways and asks students to identify whether or not the relations are functions. The relations are presented as mapping diagrams, t-charts, graphs, and ordered pairs. The student only needs to answer "yes" if the relation is a function or "no" if the relation is not a function.

This unit contains in-depth explanations, examples, and practice problems for a beginner's study of probability. It starts with explaining what experiments, outcomes, and probability are. It deals with simple probability where all outcomes are equally likely, simple probability where all outcomes are not equally likely, mutually exclusive events, and complementary events. There is practice for each concept and mixed practice pages as well. There is also a vocabulary page. The keys to the ent

This resource contains four pages of practice with the concept of slope. The first page asks students to identify the slope of a line that is graphed on a coordinate plane. The second page asks students to identify the slope of lines from their equations (given both in slope-intercept form and in standard form). The third page asks students to identify the slope of a line that would pass through two given points (using the slope formula). The fourth page is a mixed review of all three types o

This practice packet has 8 pages, each with 6 equations to graph and the coordinate plane on which to graph them. The packet includes graphing vertical and horizontal lines, lines whose equations are given in slope-intercept form, and lines whose equations are given in standard form. This all-in-one resource is easy to print and distribute. Students do not need to have separate graph paper.

This worksheet can be used as practice for students in converting radians to degrees and vice-versa. The angles used are all angles from the unit circle and should be memorized by students in both degree and radian measure.

This resource is great for use as extra practice with averaging.

This resource is fantastic for reteaching or enrichment. Included is an explanation of the process for simplifying rational expressions with examples shown.
