What The Function

Getting equations into Slope-Intercept form is always a struggle for my students. They learn it and then forget it and struggle to recall it when it shows up later in the curriculum. To try to combat that, I made this scavenger hunt that requires students to first put equations into slope-intercept form and then identify the slope and y-intercept. You could give this activity right after you teach slope-intercept form, or you could give it later in the year as a review! This activity is self che

Get your students up and moving with this scavenger hunt! Scavenger hunts are a favorite activity for my students and have been for all of the years I've been doing them and with all of the grade levels I've taught. Print out the 16 questions cards and hang them around your classroom. I like to put some cards in really tricky places (or even sometimes some in the hallway if I've got a particularly good class) - it adds to the fun! I have my students work in groups of two (or alone if a student p

I love using this graphic organizer in my classes to help my students master the skill of factoring trinomials of the form ax^2+bx+c. I teach factoring by grouping for all trinomials at first, before allowing my students to discover the "shortcut" when a=1. By doing this, I find that it helps my students truly understand why the "shortcut" works. When I use this graphic organizer with my students, I print a class set, put them in page protectors (I ordered them cheap on Amazon) and give them a d
