Learning Activities for the Pre-AP* Algebra II and Pre-calculus Classrooms
This book contains interactive learning activities that can be used as exploratory lessons and class discussions to develop topics in Algebra II and Pre-calculus. Topics include a variety of different topics that are typically found in each of these two courses. They are designed to foster analytically thinking that all students need, but that students of Pre-AP* and AP* classes need in order to be successful in AP Calculus and/or AP Statistics. A complete list of topics can be seen by downlo

Vector Treasure Hunt! Drawing Vectors Activity for Physics or Precalculus!
Ahoy, matey! Your students will have a blast practicing drawing vectors on this Vector Treasure Hunt! Students must follow written directions to draw vectors onto a treasure map. If they draw their vectors correctly, the students will find the buried treasure! Students will need to use a protractor and a ruler to draw their vectors. When they are finished, they will draw a "shortcut" on the map. This will be the resultant vector and show the displacement of the ship. Students will also ge

Precalculus Full Year Long Course: Notes, Homework, Reviews, Answers
This bundle contains all of the resources you would need for a full year long precalculus course. This is based on a typical precalculus curriculum. This Precalculus course is designed to be taught in a class that meets daily for an entire school year. There are 151 days allotted to cover the 16 units (notes + review + test) contained in the course. This should leave a couple weeks of extra time to flex in extra work days, midterms, finals, or other days as needed.The bundle contains a course

Calculus - Limits Card Sort Activity
A pairs / small group activity for students to practice what they know about limits.
Each group gets a formula for a piecewise-defined function and 18 cards. They must determine which six cards are true for their function. As an extension, groups who finish can be assigned a set of six of the remaining cards and create a function that has those properties.
The file contains detailed instructions as well as an answer key. Each card has a letter written on it, which allows teachers to quickly

Polynomial Function Project - Roller Coaster
In this project, students learn how to use polynomial function to model roller coaster rides. In this first part, they are given some polynomial functions to find the relative maximum/minimum, increasing/decreasing intervals, x- and y-intercepts, etc. They will explore the average rate of change. In the second part of the project, students are asked design their own roller coaster given some basic criteria. Students should use graphing devices/computer applications to complete this project.

Exponential and Log Equation Circuit
This 14 question circuit that I wrote for my Algebra 2 students has problems with log equations, exponential equations, log properties and evaluating logs. It is meant to be completed without a calculator as long as students know some powers of integers from 2-10. There is some work with rational exponents and solving linear equations with fractions also.

Graphs of Polar Equations Exploration
This packet has students explore a variety of polar graphs. It is broken up into 6 sections--circles, cardiods, limacons, roses, lemniscates, and logarithmic spirals. Students are presented with a general form for the equation of each type of graph and then asked to plot points in order to sketch a graph of 1 or 2 specific equations. Students are then encouraged to graph several other equations of their type of graph on their graphing calculator in order to make some conjectures about how the pa

Key Features of Polynomial Graphs Interactive Notes and Student Practice Pages
After you have introduced some basic concepts about polynomial functions and their graph to students, begin introducing them to analyzing the key features of the graph: zeros, turning points, local extrema, intervals where the function is positive & negative, and intervals where the function is increasing & decreasing. These scaffolded notes and practice pages work great for students to understand this complex topic. The only thing students need besides the note or practice page you give
