This activity requires NO PREPARATION. Student and teacher documents included. It is a riddle worksheet where students have an answer bank and they use that to solve a (slightly silly) riddle ("Why did the duck get sent to the principal’s office?") Young people 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. In this particular worksheet, students use the Pythagorean theorem (a squared plus b-squared equals c-squared) to solve a riddle. They solve for hypotenuses and legs, and some are perfect squares and others are not.

In this activity, students match a piecewise defined function to its graph, and in the process they find the answer to a joke: "What kind of horses go out after dusk?" This activity requires NO PREP, student and teacher documents included. Young people 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.

In this activity, students must become familiar with the unit circle as they evaluate different trigonometric expressions (without using a calculator). Angles are given in radians. In the process, they match their answer to an answer bank and solve the joke "Why is it a bad idea to hang a funny picture on the wall?"

This worksheet includes 20 test prep, multiple choice questions, along with a teacher answer document. Each question had 5 choices and at least one trap answer. Questions start out Easy and become more difficult as the problem set progresses. Properties of logarithms and steps for solving equations are included.

This activity requires NO PREP, student and teacher documents included. It is a cutout where students must match a system of equations to its solution and complete the puzzle. Once the puzzle is completed, a number on each tile is translated to the letter it represents in the alphabet (i.e. 1=A, 4=D etc.) to uncode a hidden message. Student and teacher versions are included. Also there is a difficult and easy version. Some systems should be solved using substitution, some should be solved using elimination.

These are some basic to moderate to challenging word problems with very nice diagrams. The diagrams serve as a support to students who have a difficult time visualizing trigonometry. With more practice like this, they will be able to draw their own problems. They are in multiple choice ACT or SAT prep style format. This activity requires NO PREP, answer sheets included. ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺

This packet includes 4 different activities involving parent functions and transformations. 1 activity deals only with absolute value functions and another with only quadratic functions, while 2 include 4 different parent functions.
