Graphing Piecewise-defined Functions~Walk-Around Activity~Matching~
This activity is designed to help students with graphing piecewise-defined functions (or with writing them). This activity also gets students up and about. Place the 10 cards on the wall around your room. Students pick any card to begin with. They should graph the function on the bottom of the page (or write a piecewise-defined function for the graph at the top). After graphing on their own paper, students look around the room for a graph that matches theirs. Then they work the next probl

Zeros of Polynomial Functions from a Graph Task Cards plus Guided Notes
Here is a great intuitive activity for your students to learn and practice determining the equation of a polynomial function from a graph, guided by notes and examples. Students determine the polynomial of minimum degree in factored form from a graph using what they have learned about zeros of polynomials, multiplicity, repeated roots, y-intercepts, x- intercepts, and leading coefficients. Great for visual learners and to gain fluency in analytical thinking. Included in this lesson: Student G

Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square- 2 Levels-Matching Activity
Students must using Completing the Squares to solve quadratic equations. May also be used to practice using the square root property to solve quadratics. There are 2 versions of this activity. 14 equations for each set.Level 1: All solutions are integers, all equations (after completing the squares) will be set equal to a perfect square. Level 2: Solutions are rational (fractions) or irrational (with no perfect square roots). So equations (after completing the squares) will be set equal to
