The Three Pre Calculus and Three Post Calculus Puzzles This is a six puzzle set of pre- and post- calculus course puzzles that are different from the “mathacrostics” puzzles. Three of the puzzles might best be given before the study of Calculus begins, 3 would best be given after the study of Calculus is completed. The six puzzles are: First, a Pre Calculus Mathematician Search wherein the puzzle-doer will search in a "word search" type puzzle for many of the mathematicians, ancient and lat

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

Within this set of 20 Board Sessions you will find nearly everything that a student either in a high school AB AP class, or a university Calculus I course, needs to know to do well in the NO CALCULTOR part of her/his course. Not only are important problems given, but fairly in depth solutions are given as well. If YOU can not get to all of your individual students' needs here's an efficient way to reach them individually. It will make a great review source for the AP exam. Know where a

These individual puzzles (at present thirty puzzles), and the Calculus Mathacrostic Puzzle book they will make up are intended: to be a “last second” no-calculator Advanced Placement preparation review of a, perhaps, forgotten topic in first quarter Calculus; to be a more pleasant additional assignment (with mostly nice and semi-nice answers) on topics that the teacher feels a class needs more work on; to be given to an individual student who the teacher has noticed needs more work in a certain

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

The foundation for all upper level math is based upon two subjects now required by nearly all high schools in the United States - algebra and geometry. The concepts and applications of variables, exponential laws, polynomial manipulation, and finding solution sets in algebra are necessary for all future work in mathematics. Developing a system, using logic, and working with two- and three-dimensional figures are all components of a traditional geometry course. They, too, are extremely important

This offering is a "mathacrostics" puzzle affording teachers and students another opportunity to practice and/or review finding derivatives using the power, product, and quotient rules with just polynomial functions. I HAVE responded to the notifications from two purchasers noting that there are mistakes and HAVE corrected the puzzle TWICE now (and believe me, I DO appreciate knowing that I've made mistakes) . . . and I DO believe that I've/we've found ALL the mistakes on this puzzle.
