Students will complete this activity where they match a question to an answer on a new card. Example. Card A's question may lead them to Card H. They answer the question on Card H and then it's answer is on Card D, etc. Eventually they will make a complete train of cards. This is good as a formative assessment activity for any size grouping, however, I like using it with pairs. My students really enjoyed this activity as an alternative to a traditional worksheet. You could also extend this by

This is a "dominos" like activity where students will choose a card to start on, set up and solve the proportion problem, find the answer on another card and then solve the problem on the same card that had their answer on it. They continue this process until they have lined up all their cards like dominoes. This activity could also easily be completed using stations or a scavenger hunt type task depending on the needs of your classroom. I usually have pairs complete this activity. Depending

Students can work collaboratively or individually to solve the problems on the task cards (2 Per Card). First problem on task card is general system of equations and the second problem on task card is a real world scenario. Answer Key is included as last page of document.

Students will work on applying the coordinate rules for rotations. You must provide instruction on the coordinate rules - check out my store for a task to discover coordinate rules and the free notes sheet for them!

This is a scavenger hunt on Factoring and Graphing Polynomial Functions. The answers are included on the last pages. To set this up, I cut manila folders in half and attach the answers to the outside. Make sure when you set it up you do not put the answer to the question inside on the outside of its own pouch. You want to make sure that the answer leads to another question! This allows students to check their own answers as they are working - if they don't find the answer they have, then they

This is a resource incorporating multiple representations of exponential functions including graphs, tables, equations, and scenarios. Students must use their knowledge of exponential functions (this would be after students have some formal knowledge of the equation and how it works) to answer each question. It is set up as a half booklet. You can use this to assess learning throughout a unit, practice, or even a review task. Amount of time required would vary depending on students' ability and

This worksheet allows students to investigate the vertex form of a parabola. It assumes some knowledge of transformations is present, but also allows for students to discover and connect it to a few real world scenarios in the beginning as well.

This lesson plan and resources allow you and your students to develop (or review) the idea of correlation - and the strength of the correlation/correlation coefficient. This is intended to build from a basic understanding of general linear correlation into how we classify the strength of the correlation. If you have ANY questions about the materials or my lesson suggestions/outline, please do not hesitate to contact me!

This includes several different scenarios of modeling with parabolas. Students have to use their knowledge to find key information to solve the problems provided. This could easily be re-assembled into a scavenger hunt, used as assessment questions, or gallery walk, etc.

This is a scavenger hunt on Factoring and Graphing Polynomial Functions. The answers are included on the last pages.

This worksheet was used as a mixed practice task for quadratic review in a senior applied math course and as a formative practice task while teaching the various forms of quadratic functions - Vertex Form, Factored Form, and Standard Form.

This activity is for use with instruction on the real number system. It allows students to interpret statements and determine if they are always, sometimes, or never true based on the real number system. I had students glue it into their interactive notebooks following notes on the real number system and definitions of each set of numbers, but it could be used as a team task, pairs check, or even individual formative assessment.

This is a variety of practice where student practice identifying quadrilaterals based on given information in various formats (grid, no grid, markings, etc).

This activity was used to challenge my students WITHOUT a calculator to determine use information provided to write equations of a quadratic in vertex form, factored form, and standard form or analyze the thinking of someone else. It is intended to reinforce the information provided by the different forms of the equation of a quadratic function and how to transfer between them. Again, this was a non-calculator activity for my students.

Practice with reflections across diagonal lines (y=x and y=-x): performing reflections, identifying reflections that have occurred, and error analysis of others' reflections.

Practice Worksheet where students can apply reflections using only coordinate rules (no patty paper, etc). This requires you have taught or allowed students to discover the coordinate rules for reflections in a coordinate plane.

Chunked practice with reflections - vertical lines, horizontal lines, and diagonal lines.

This is a set of guided notes that were used in a unit on quadratic functions for my student's interactive notebooks, but could be used without an INB as well. It specifically covers factored form of a quadratic function. This is set up as two per page in order to fit in an INB.

This is a chart my students put into their interactive notebook for the rules of divisibility. We left off 7 and 8 because they were not as intuitive (or useful!) as the other rules for them. They're set on a half sheet to fit into one side of an INB so examples or other work could be placed on the opposite page. This could be used at any grade level.
