The purpose of this project is to give your students a deeper understanding of the use of trigonometry in analyzing the circle. It will also provide your students with a better understanding of the use of special triangles to calculate the coordinates of certain points on the circle. It will also provide them with a fun, interesting and colorful way to display the various circle parameters (degrees, radians and exact coordinates) on a circular-shaped project. The project requires the student
This cheat sheet was made as a test modification for one of my inclusion special education students. The sheet includes characteristics to identify between each type, procedural solving steps for solving each, and examples of each for factoring greatest common factor, quadratics, difference of squares, difference of cubes, and sum of cubes. The student was able to solve and identify the polynomials independently with the use of this cheat sheet, and was also used as a great study guide.
This is a differentiated activity incorporating exponential functions and "The Grain of Rice Story." As a class, the story is read in play form. Students are assigned parts to read. Then students are broken into groups designated by readiness. Each group is assigned a task based on the story. All tasks require the groups to make a table, graph, and write an equation based on a situation related to the story read. Tasks increase in difficulty from 1 through 4. Groups must make a poster displaying
A nice way to end a short unit on Imaginary Numbers in an Algebra class. Students are given choices to work out problems related to imaginary numbers, write about the existence of imaginary numbers. A rubric is included for assessing student work.
This is a project geared towards election day and has students select one of the methods for solving quadratics (factoring, completing the square, etc) and has them create an election campaign for their method. They must come up with a slogan, rationale for why their candidate is the best, and of course a little trash talk of the other candidates.
Make rational operations more exciting by having students design a hotel! Does not require much prep, and will take 2-3 class days depending on how creative students get with it. Students will need to apply properties of simplifying, multiplying, dividing, adding, and subtracting rational expressions.
This is one document containing three items:Introduction to Quadratic Factoring - Guided NotesFactoring Anchor Chart (with steps and example problem)Practice Activity - Solve the RiddleI created these activities for my 8th grade Algebra 1 students a few years ago, as I was not a fan of the book explanation. However, I have changed and edited them with each time I've taught it. I am now an Algebra 2 teacher, and I use this same activity to refresh factoring for them. Answer keys are provided for

Looking for a quick and easy way to practice Math Vocabulary?These colorful and concise Posters and Flashcards are a great way to reinforce math concepts. Hang on a bulletin board and keep on a ring for reviewing.
Along with the Common Core standard for each grade level, all math teachers are expected to challenge students with the Mathematical Practice Standards (find them at this link.)
I have taken each standard and broken into easy-to-understand language, and provided 5 examples of how students can display their knowledge of each mathematical process.
These serve as daily reminders to students and teachers, during class, and during professional development meetings.
You will receive a Word docume
Learning Goal: I can read, create, and interpret two-way frequency tables and relative frequency tables. Organize students into groups of 2-3 give each student a piece of construction paper, markers/colored pencils, and one-half sheet of paper with the instructions and specific example to their group. I have incorporated 4 different examples of two way-tables they will create for both frequency and relative frequency. They will need to find some missing values on the chart not given. And then a
This is a template that helps you organization calculator assignments. Take a sharpie and write numbers on your calculators, 1-35. Then, type in student names to the template and print out. Display it near the calculators in your room. Another method for this is to print and laminate. Then, write on the laminated sheet with an expo marker or sharpie. Essential for anyone that uses calculators in the classroom!
Mini posters for the Sometimes, Always, and Never activity. Template of the words to print on colored paper and use all year! Ask questions to students and have them stand under the category that it fits.
I designed a word 2007 document.
The size of the poster is 22" x 17".
You can edit the document if you like.
I spent a good deal of time thinking about how numbers are created and what distinguishes one set of numbers from another.
It's a pretty cool poster to get your kids thinking, how are numbers created?? Why do we specify them a certain way? Why do we write them a certain way?
Number sets go from:
-1, 0, and 1 to
Natural Numbers
Integers
Rational Numbers
Square roots
Imaginary Numbers
This project is for an Algebra or Algebra 2 class. The subject of the project is exponential functions. During this project, students will research college tuition data, determine rate of change, graph real-world exponential data, calculate average, and calculate amount using the compound interest formula. Students will create a poster to present their findings. This project is intended for individual work, however it may be changed to a group project.
Print on 12 by 18 poster paper. Our copy machine at school can fit a 12 by 18 inch poster paper in the multipurpose tray. Make sure you select the correct printer to be able to include all information on one page.I laminate mine so I can put it up and take it down when we are learning about linear equations in 8th grade.
This is a simple poster of calculator steps that are used on a daily basis. The poster includes resetting, inputting a fraction, and changing a decimal to a fraction.
