Zombies and Exponential Growth
This is a project relating exponential growth and decay to the zombie apocalypse. Students go through the infection and deprive their equation with the help of a table. Apply change of base formula and logs to find calculations, and get a short glimpse at exponential decay. The packet is about 6 pages in all. My students really enjoyed it!! I am uploading as a word doc so you can change the names of schools/teachers.

Logarithms Desmos Activity
This lesson/activity was designed to have students explore the transformations of logarithms using online graphing software through Desmos.com. This can be used as an independent investigation (if students have access to computers/personal devices) or as a guided lesson. It serves as a great reference tool for the logarithms unit.

Recognizing Multiple Representations of Linear Relationships
This product is a good overview of Linear Relationships and how to recognize them in symbolic form (equations), tabular form (tables), graphical form (graphs), and contextual/verbal form (words/stories). It can be used as an overview for units on Linear Relationships. I've used it as a review for upper-level math students, such as Algebra 2 and Calculus students. If you like this handout, you may also appreciate "Recognizing Multiple Representations of Quadratic Relationships."

Trigonometric Functions Sign Card Sort Activity
When we began solving problems to calculate the values of trigonometric functions, my students struggled time and again with how to know if a value should be positive or negative. This simple activity asks students to determine where on the unit circle each of the six trigonometric functions are positive and negative. Give students one class period to sort out positive and negative for every function; then they can glue down the cards for a reference sheet to use on their homework the rest of th

Fundamental Theorem of Algebra Guided Notes
A great "work-along" to provide students as a note sheet while going over the fundamental theorem of algebra with graphing and synthetic division. Pairs with the fundamental theorem of algebra PPT in my shop, or can easily be converted into PPT form. You can also project this and follow it on the board.

Open-ended questions algebra limits/tangent slopes
A set of 5 open-ended problems (one for each day of the week) applying the concept of a tangent slope as a limit of secant slopes. Modeled after those types of open-ended questions that appear on state standardized graduation tests. Although this is a calculis-based topic, formal knowledge of calculus is not required or expected. However, it can be used as an introductory example in a calculus class. Comes with answer keys and a 4-point scoring rubric that's applicable to all 5 problems in the

Stand and Deliver (1988) Movie Viewing Guide: Summary/Vocabulary/Questions
"Stand and Deliver" is a 1988 film directed by Ramón Menéndez, based on the true story of high school math teacher Jaime Escalante. The film is a powerful portrayal of Escalante's efforts to inspire and motivate his students in a challenging urban school setting.Jaime Escalante, played by Edward James Olmos, takes a job teaching mathematics at James A. Garfield High School in a troubled neighborhood in East Los Angeles. Faced with a group of students who are disinterested and academically behind

Recognizing Multiple Representations of Quadratic Relationships
This product provides a summary of how to recognize quadratic relationships in multiple representations including symbolic representations (equations & functions), tabular representations (tables), graphical representations (graphs), and contextual/verbal representations (words/stories). This is a good "overview" of quadratic relationships, giving students the "big picture." It is also a useful reference for higher-level math students who have not focused on quadratics recently (Algebra 2,

Hobbs Got Out!! Darn That Dog!! - Calculus Postion/Velocity/Acceleration
An activity that investigates average velocity, instantaneous velocity, average acceleration, and instantaneous acceleration. Our dog Hobbs got out and ran down the street and we investigate his position, velocity and acceleration. Students will use their calculators to find derivatives and graph the position, velocity and acceleration. The activity provides a real world problem to investigate the relationships between functions and their derivatives.

Intuition Versus Proof
Recently, I watched The Man Who Knew Infinity, which is a 2015 British biographical drama film based on the 1991 book of the same name by Robert Kanigel. The two main characters of the story are Srinivasa Ramanujan, “a Mathematician Brilliant Beyond Comparison,” and the English mathematician G. H. Hardy. Their collaboration resulted in the creation of many amazing mathematical theorems.One of the underlying themes of the story (in my opinion) involved Ramanujan’s intuitive ability to produce e

Tangent and Normal Lines (AP and non-AP Calculus)
This lesson is an introduction to writing the equations of tangent and normal lines to functions. It is best used after teaching the power rule for derivatives, but before any other derivative rules. Students will write the equations to tangent and normal lines, then draw them on accompanying diagrams to visualize what they have found. The lesson reviews point-slope form of a line as a fundamental skill required for success.

These are the assignments I give my students for the first chapter in Larson Calculus 10 ed. The Lesson Plans list the dates of assignments, abbreviated objectives, and the assignment. In the assignments you will find problems from the textbook and additional problems the students need for the AP test. You will also find Critical Thinking Journals, dates of quizzes and tests and a list of topics for their Interactive Notebooks (Little Black Books). I created the product in WORD so you can modify

Calculus Lesson Plans Ch. 2B: More Derivatives
These are the assignments I give my students for the second half of Ch. 2 in Larson Calculus 10 ed. I divide Ch. 2 on derivatives into three units. Ch. 2A introduced derivatives focusing on the definitions of derivatives and some simple derivative rules. The students also solved some application problems such as velocity, acceleration and rate of change using simple derivatives.
In Ch. 2B, the students apply the product and quotient rules, derive the trig rules and chain rule, and use the cha
