The intent of our Mathnerdy columns is to provide teachers and students with quick review problems in a game-like format. Working quickly under pressure is an actuality on Proficiency Tests, ACTs and SATs. Our Mathnerdy columns afford timed responses, in a fun and non-threatening atmosphere, that put a little pressure on the student. We have ten sets of 20 “Mathnerdy” columns, for fifth grade students through Calculus, so our “Mathnerdys” review many, many topics at varying levels of difficulty.

Pumpkin (Please understand, our puzzle looks MUCH better than the thumbnail that you see above!) In this graphing puzzle, the student will: 1). graph piece-wise functions. 2). graph line segments in slope-intercept form with a domain. 3). graph horizontal and vertical line segments. Our Cartesian Cartoon Puzzle series is intended to offer different slants and blends from most of the “graphing ordered pairs” worksheets and puzzles that are currently on the market. As with all our puzzles we hop

This set of Board Sessions consists of an entire year's worth of material from a typical Algebra II class. The order may be a bit different from the order in which the buyer/user is used to . . . but that's the beauty of having all twenty sessions . . . you can use the problems in any order and whenever your heart desires. The intent is to give a teacher problems for their students to do at the board. ( An early aside . . . Though this was NOT their original purpose, any of the twenty sessions i

In this activity, students will -Write the equation of a linear function and an exponential function from the same 2 points. One point will always be on the y-intercept..(0,y). Students will then always evaluate each function at x = 6 and make a general statement. -determine if a sequence is arithmetic or geometric -write a rule for an arithmetic and geometric sequence LINEAR vs. EXPONENTIAL functions by Matt Lora is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

In this activity, students will 1) set up a system for each problem. 2) solve for x and y. 3) use their x and y values to find additional information about each problem. Students will need to have an understanding of properties of parallel lines, the base-angle theorem, supplementary angles, triangle sum theorem, Pythagorean theorem, and perimeter and area of triangles. Two practice sets are given with answer keys. This was created by Matt Lora at Value Added Publishing. Our store link is h

Students will DECODE a FUNNY JOKE involving an assortment of questions involving QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS. Concepts of finding heights at certain times, finding times given heights, finding maximum heights, finding maximum warehouse inventory values, finding when objects land, etc will be asked. ANSWER KEY IS ALSO INCLUDED.

STUDENTS will DECODE a FUNNY JOKE involving all kinds of quadratic applications. AREA, PROJECTED OBJECTS, MAXIMIZING HEIGHTS and VALUES of WAREHOUSE INVENTORY, FINDING LANDING TIMES of OBJECTS, etc will be included. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT REVIEW. FACTORING and the QUADRATIC FORMULA can be used. Some problems, the quadratic terms cancel out! ANSWER KEY IS INCLUDED! ENJOY!

Students will DECODE a funny HALLOWEEN joke that involves LINEAR RELATIONSHIPS and ARITHMETIC SEQUENCES. The word problems are geared to make the student ultimately write the equation of a line (or the rule) from two data points OR generate the equation (or rule) given a RATE and another data point. After the rule is found, another set of questions will be asked that relate to the generated rule. ANSWER KEY IS INCLUDED
