This scavenger hunt requires students to use knowledge of distributing a binomial to a binomial in order to convert from factored to standard form of quadratic functions. The equations have both positive and negative "a" values. This is a great review for students before a test or quiz or just to refresh their skills.
The pages are already in order, which will provide you with the answers.
This bundle combines all our linear function activities.
You will find topics including, regression, solving linear functions, solving linear inequalities, word problems, and determining x and y intercepts.
This exploration station lesson allows students to discover imaginary and complex numbers with independence. After some beginning direct instruction of imaginary numbers from the teacher, students will work through 4 stations that will teach them how to simplify negative square roots, add complex numbers, subtract complex numbers and multiply complex numbers. The teacher will then lead dividing complex numbers.
Each poster has an example worked out and written directions for the rules needed for each concept.
A retrieval practice and homework is also provided.
Our students have had more success with this strategy of teaching imaginary and complex numbers than others we have tried in the past. Students love and thrive with self exploration.

Get ready to have some engaged students! This whole class review will have all students, working in groups, competing to be the winning team. Each group has to work through questions in order to gain points to have the most at the end. The full directions can be found in the preview pages.
For this review, students will answer questions relating to compound interest. Knowledge of continuous compound interest, different compounding intervals, effective interest rate are all covered by the 26 questions. Not all questions need to be completed in order to make this game fun and effective!
*Please note: These questions are the same as the Knockout review. We’ve changed the format of the review to meet different teacher’s classroom needs and preferences. Please do not buy this and the Knockout review. Choose which one best fits you and the students!

Do you have those students that always ask about how this relates to real life? This math lab is the solution. Students will work through an experiment just like they would in science class to discover through self-inquiry that vertical motion is best represented with parabolas and quadratic functions. The experiment allows students to discover this phenomena through inquiry and data collection. After collecting data, students will have their “a-ha” moment. Students will quickly be able to see where initial height and initial velocity fit in to the model. This experiment also leaves the opportunity to discuss as much basic physics as you want (absolutely not necessary for a quality lesson).
This experiment will take a little time to set up but it will all be worth it when your students are genuinely excited when you tell them they are doing an experiment in math class. We have included a lot of notes throughout the teacher guide to help implementation.

This is a multi-layered lesson designed to teach and aid students in writing checks and balancing checkbooks. Students are walked through each step of writing a check and practice on their own. Afterwards, students are lead through the process of balancing a checkbook followed by independent practice. Included in the download are two publisher files for instruction and practice and a powerpoint. The powerpoint can easily be adapted for your lesson but gives the framework for the lessons.
This class project is sure to be a hit with any and all of your students! Students have been hired as consultants for the Real Madrid Football Club to solve some team problems. Students must use the provided data to create a linear regression (line of best fit, least squares equation) in order to determine a correlation coefficient. Afterwards, students identify residuals for each piece of data. After collecting all the necessary information, students are led through questions related to the organization. When I did this in class I gave all three (3 similar projects all found on our page) and let them choose. The choices were mixed and the students loved that they were able to individualize the days lesson depending on their interests. After students were finished each group received a reporting form. This is the form the "consultants" would hand their employer to summarize their findings. This was absolutely a hit in our class! We have actually created three similar scenarios to cover the same information. If you want all three projects I have bundled each for just 5.99!
This game requires and teaches students to identify 5 pennies equals a nickel, 2 nickels equal a dime and 2 dimes and a nickel equal a quarter.
Directions:
Student rolls a die and takes the same number of pennies as they rolled.
Student places the penny on the board and "trades in" for a nickel at 5 pennies.
At two nickels the student "trades in" for a quarter.
We usually play up to a $1.00 or whomever has the most quarters at the end of time.
This game is also a great sponge activity for those extra few minutes you need to have something for student learning.
This bundle is a combination of 3 science experiments we use in our life skills science class (students not receiving a diploma). The experiments will get students used to the scientific method and asking questions to develop hypotheses.

A think tank is a questioning activity created from Bloom's taxonomy. Each questions, starting from the top, becomes more complicated and involved. The think tank we've created here is all about quadratic reflections, translations and dilations. Students are required to use their knowledge of all three to answer 8 questions of progressively challenging questions. This think tank would be great as a homework assignment, test/quiz review, independent/group classwork or even an assessment. After answering the 8 questions students will have clearly demonstrated a solid understanding of Translations, Reflections and Dilations.
This is a great experiment we've adapted for teaching making quality predictions or hypotheses. Students are given minimal direct instruction and practice which is followed by an experiment regarding what types of products will stop an apple from browning. This is a great prediction experiment because it can easily be done in a 90 minute period and even possible in 45 minutes!! This experiment is editable so feel free to add your own clipart! We hope you enjoy this great experiment to teach predictions.
SSR rubrics to hold accountability for reading. These rubrics also serve as a great opportunity for Teachers and students to interact and discuss novels/books. Attached with the rubric is a list of self selected reading prompts. These prompts serve as guides for the SSR book discussion. The rubric and prompts are formatted for successful use in any elementary, middle or high school classroom.
