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!

All types of solving exponential equations. Guided notes with separate sections. Worked great in my lesson because each type was broken up. The last page has all the types combined for students to try using their notes on the previous page. Worked GREAT! KEY INCLUDED

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.

Side by side direct to indirect proofs worksheet. Students use the given direct proofs and reasons and put them into indirect proofs. Students do much better with indirect proofs when seeing the same proof done directly right next to it.

Good first day of basic geometric proofs w key. Pictures are given for students to label as they go for a good discussion beforehand. The front page serves as guided notes in class and the back page is for them to try on their own and write as paragraph proofs.

Two different versions A and B. Goes along with the guided notes product.

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.

Are you trying to get to know your students better in math class? Do you want to know if they have an after school job, live with any other siblings, have a growth mindset? This sheet is a great activity for you to get to know your students. I specifically tailored it to MATH students but you can mirror it to fit another course. 10/10 I use every year and refer back to it when I need to know more about a struggling learner.

Super successful lesson as students connect the triangle congruence theorems to the specific needs each one has. I included a writing prompt at the end and examples. The writing prompt forced students to draw connections. I FOUND THIS VERY SUCCESSFUL in my classroom!

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!

Review of Graphing Transformations - includes y-axis, y=x, rotations, dilation, translations, glide reflection then chart on the back reviews each kind of transformation and 4 different coordinates (both pos, one neg/pos, both neg). KEY included - worked as a GREAT review before the test!

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.
