Valerie's Math Class

Graphing logs and exponential graphs. Guided notes take students through parent functions, recognizing (1,0) and (0,1) to graphing shifts. KEY is also included. Add the Graphing Logs & Exp Exit Ticket to complete the lesson!

This is the first introduction to Quadrilaterals - we went through each property of each quadrilateral and marked the diagrams accordingly. This helped tremendously when pointing out their KEY differences and understanding the Heirarchy of Quads. I guarantee this is as a great first start intro to quads!

Combination WS to solidfy understanding by combining all trig triangle problems. This includes problems using SOH CAH TOA, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and Special Right Triangles. Students pick which method works best. The final problem is one triangle where students have to find all 3 sides and 3 angles (with 1 side, 1 angle given). WORKSHEET INCLUDES answers at the bottom for students to make sure they are on the right track and KEY INCLUDED! Great way to solidify their knowledge.

Guided Notes - beginning with recognizing slope for parallel and perpendicular lines. Then graphing regular linear equations. Then finding the equation of a line parallel and perpendicular and graphing both. Worked great in my lesson and students could graph both parallel and perpendicular lines after.

Great Worksheets (2 included) for Review during class after learning - KEY INCLUDED

Half sheet (to save paper) - First page is guided notes and three examples of the three ways to find the equation (1- given two points, 2-give slope and a point, 3-give x or y-intercept(s)). The back page is practice. KEY Included for the back page.

I used this lesson after my investigation to go from making 6 ratios to making 1. Then we did notes on finding side length given an angle and a side length. The back is practice doing both types with key included. Great lesson- most successful one I have taught!

Bell Ringer - two versions fitted for a half sheet. Perfect for following a lesson on pythaogrean theorem, converse and special right triangles. The back contains optional conceptual question.

Special right triangles practice + note area to PROVE the special right triangle formula

I break this lesson up into multiple days but I use the chart throughout. I put the chart on colored paper and add to it each day. Super helpful for students to keep things organized. The back page is practice for day 1 doing reflections.

Used great as a review for chapter 1 drawings
