It is a riddle worksheet where students have an answer bank and they use that to solve a (slightly cheesy) joke ("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.
This activity is great for homeschool and special ed students too!
In this fun worksheet, students use the pythagorean theorem (a squared plus b-squared equals c-squared) for right angle triangles 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 particular product to another product with the same solution. As they find the matching answer, they place a letter from the answer bank into the appropriate box to uncover a joke.
Because of answer banks for students and answer sheets for adults, this activity is great for homeschool and special ed students too!
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.

This activity has 10 test prep questions that deal with finding shaded area, plane and coordinate geometry. The questions are written for an ACT exam but also serve as excellent preparation for CST and Star testing.
Each question has 5 choices and at least 1 trap answer, and the teacher answer sheet has a key that gives each question’s difficulty level, correct answer, trap answer and the rationale for the trap answer.
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.
These 10 Multiple Choice questions cover volume of cubes, cones, spheres and other 3D shapes. Each question contains a graphic, which helps students picture the problem better. The answer sheet has a key that tells the teacher the answer to each question, the most common trap answer and the level of difficulty for each question.

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?"

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.
