Derivatives : The Chain Rule - 2 WKSTs ( 20 problems) FREEBIE

(0)
This resource contains total of 20 problems. Students will practice differentiation using the chain rule. The composite functions include polynomials, rational, radicals, trig and inverse trig, exponential and logarithmic expressions. The packet has 2 worksheets of 10 derivative problems. The worksheets can be possibly used as two different forms for partner activity like that: ⟡ Partner A will solve WS # 1 while Partner B solves WS # 2, then they swap papers and Partner A will solve WS # 2 while Partner B solves WS # 1. Once they have completed the work, they compare their results. If there are different answers to one and the same problem, students have to identify and correct any errors. The worksheets can be also used for an extra practice or enrichment, an assessment or homework assignment. If you download this product, please take a moment to leave your comments. I LOVE hearing from you ❣❣❣
Simplifying Trig Expressions -Win the Hearts GAME

Simplifying Trig Expressions -Win the Hearts GAME

(0)
In this fun Valentine’s themed activity, students will practice simplifying trig expressions using the fundamental Pythagorean, quotient and reciprocal identities. Activity Directions: Students are asked to simplify 12 trig expressions. The corrected equivalent expresssions (the answers) are recorded on twelve of 13 hearts on a given picture. Every time students arrive at a correct answer, they will “win the heart” having this answer written on it. Students are also asked to find the only one heart who can NOT be won. The product can possibly be used as a partner or a group activity(group of 3). Student recording sheets, answer keys and solutions are provided. I hope you and your students ENJOY!
Radical Equations (Which ONE doesn't have the same solution as the others?)- Group Activity

Radical Equations (Which ONE doesn't have the same solution as the others?)- Group Activity

(0)
This activity is designed to be used for groups of 4, 3 and/or 2 members. It practices: • solving radical equations with one and two square roots • solving linear and quadratic equations • checking for extraneous solutions The radical equations contain: a monomial and/or a binomial under a radical symbol a radical expression on one side of the equation and a monomial or a binomial on the other side radical expressions on one side and respectively on the both sides of the equations (“radical equals radical”) Most of the equations require rearranging and isolating the radical and the rest are set up to square both sides. All the equations require squaring once. Activity Directions: Partners will each have their own set of eight problems of various difficulty. They reduce them to linear or quadratics and continue solving by any method they choose. Students write down the solutions of the problems on the recording sheet provided. They are instructed to check for extraneous solutions. Partners record their answers in tables on a group response sheet designed in such a way that students can analyze and compare their results easily. They must verify that all equations actually have the same solution except only one which has two distinct roots. I called this special equation “black sheep equation” and it is the equation B8. It can not be simply found without checking for extraneous solutions. All answer keys are provided. I hope your students enjoy searching for the “black sheep” and have fun with this activity.
Finding Limits Analytically -  8 Task Cards (2 problems per card)

Finding Limits Analytically - 8 Task Cards (2 problems per card)

(0)
There are two problems (A and B questions) on each of the 8 cards. Question A is to evaluate a limit analytically and Question B is to prove a limit’s equality. Half of the cards are 8 questions asking students to find the limits of rational and involving radicals functions as x approaches infinity. The other half of the cards contains limits where x approaches a finite number. Students are to find the limits of rational functions, functions involving radicals and trigonometric functions (some of which use the “special Limits" ( sin x /x, (1 - cos x)/ x^2)) . The limits in this activity can all be found without L’Hopital’s rule. The cards can be used as a partner or a group activity or as a review. There is a student recording sheet included. Answer keys are provided.
