This is an introductory activity for trigonometry, and in it students work on labeling triangles correctly. It is a quick activity where students decide the appropriate label (O, A, H) and in the process answer a joke. Great for beginning SOHCAHTOA
This activity is a great way to introduction polynomial division and factoring. Students view a problem as a puzzle. Instructions are given on the sheet, answer sheet included.
This activity is a cutout puzzle for factoring rational expressions. Students match up a rational expression with its equivalent in simplified form and put the pieces of the puzzle together.
In this game, groups of students compete to "make 24" as many times as possible. They are given 10 examples and must make 24 using all of the numbers and the basic operations.
It is a great activity because it reinforces arithmetic while working on algebraic thinking. It is very appropriate for students of all different skill levels as well.

In this FUNsheet, students must subtract each of the fractions and match their answers to the simplified fraction in the answer in order to solve a riddle.
All FUNsheets are classroom-tested. Kids like this activities because they make the math meaningful, and FUN, and teachers like them because the answer bank gives students a tool to self-assess. Also a great tool for home-schooled students too!
In this activity students use 3 properties of logarithms to simplify expressions involving base-2 logs. They match their result to an answer bank to find the answer to the joke "What is the cheapest thing you can buy from the dentist?"
This is a great activity for students to learn about number systems, exponents and Mayan numbers. The Mayans used a place value system, just like ours, except with base-20 instead of base 10 (they counted with their fingers and toes).
In this activity, students simply choose whether they would use the law of sines or cosines to "solve a triangle." In the process, they solve a joke "When do doctors get angry?"
