Eight stations requiring students to analyze data and determine if an exponential or quadratic regression is most appropriate. At each station, students will be required to graph the scatter plot. Determine the r-squared value and answer 3-4 questions. This is great practice with regressions.
A quadratic function take on the classic game of clue! Can you solve the clues to determine the suspect, accomplice, room and weapon?
Students will work through 4 clues:
Your students will use knowledge of finding a vertex, factoring, using the quadratic formula, solving word problems and graphing parabolas. Students will record their answers on their clue sheet to reveal the final solution.
Students are given a cipher to turn their number answers into letters. Cut out both circles and spin the numbers to match the appropriate letter.
Students are also provided a score sheet, just like the game, so they can mark off their final answer. Have them turn in their answers and work to see if they’ve found all the right information!

A linear function take on the classic game of clue! Can you solve the clues to determine the suspect, accomplice, room and weapon?
Students will work through 4 clues:
Your students will use knowledge of finding intercepts, word problems in slope-intercept form, word problems in standard form and graphing linear functions. Students will record their answers on their clue sheet to reveal the final solution.

A set of 20 task cards focusing on all aspects of linear regressions. To complete the task cards students will use knowledge of linear regressions (line of best fit, least squares regression), correlation coefficients, and calculating residuals and their meaning. The bundle also includes an answer sheet for students to record their work.
This is a great review of skills for a test, quiz or standardized assessment.

This activity is for review and practice of the characteristics of the 4 basic types of functions. The review includes identifying characteristics of exponential, linear, absolute value and quadratic functions. The basic of analyzing a function such as the rate of change, function notation and solving functions is also included. A power point slide with directions on how to play the relay race game is attached. These directions are very common but you can play in whatever way you'd like. Also attached are questions to cut out and an answer sheet for each student.
This 10 poster scavenger hunt requires students to use knowledge of imaginary and complex numbers and simplify using the distributive property. Students can start at any poster and simplify the expression. Once they have an answer they will look around the room for the poster with the matching answer. Students repeat the process until they get back to their original poster.
Why do students and teachers love this?
Students get automatic feedback on their work using scavenger hunts.
We've had nothing but success using this lesson as a review for a quiz/test or as extra practice after introducing complex numbers.

This is a 4 clue practice based off the popular board game. Students will work through 4 clues to find the suspect, an accomplice, weapon and location. Students will use knowledge of solving systems of linear functions using three methods; substitution, linear combination (or addition) and graphing. Students will also use linear combination to solve four word problems.
Students are given a cipher to turn their number answers into letters. Cut out both circles and spin the numbers to match the appropriate letter.
Students are also provided a score sheet, just like the game, so they can mark off their final answer. Have them turn in their answers and work to see if they've found all the right information!

This review is for exponential functions. Just like everyone else our new common core curriculum has changed things around. This review takes exponents a step further than the other one we've posted. The review includes multiplying exponents, dividing exponents, power of zero negative exponents, translations, rational and radical form and reflections of exponential functions. . A power point slide with directions on how to play the relay race game is attached. These directions are very common but you can play in whatever way you'd like. Also attached are questions to cut out and an answer sheet for each student.
Let your students practice their equation solving skills by having them work through problems to try and escape the hidden shrine. Students will solve equations that will lead them to different pieces of the amulet. Once students have found all the pieces of the amulet they must put them together for victory. Watch out though, if you choose the wrong answer, you may be caught by the hidden monkey guards!
This practice will require students to use their knowledge of basic equation solving. Each challenge will require a different set of skills. Students will need to solve basic two step equations, combine like terms, and use inverses for solving with fractions.

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 3 clue practice based off the popular board game. Students will work through 4 clues to find the suspect, an accomplice, weapon and location. Students will use their knowledge of linear regressions to determine the suspect, murder weapon and location. Students will solve questions related to finding residuals, word problems based on linear regressions and graph linear regressions.
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.

If there is a specific skill for which you want more questions or a new type, please just let us know and we will be happy to update with whatever your class needs!
You always knew your friendship with an eccentric scientist was interesting but you never thought it would lead to this!
Your students will need to use their knowledge of linear functions in standard form,(mainly word problems), x and y-intercepts, literal equations and line of best fit in order to escape the past and end up back in present time.
Each puzzle will require flexible thinking in order to determine the clue. Students will then find the next clue and work on the puzzle. There are 7 total puzzles in all.
We've included some implementation and modification ideas pending on the size of your class and ability level. This does require work on the Teacher planning part but students love it!
If a puzzle answer or clue doesn't work for your classroom, feel free to modify it! You can change one clue and still keep the integrity of the activity and lesson!
The answer key is inherently included as it will need to the next clue!

X- and Y-Intercept Matching Activity
We have bundled two of our most popular activities together for you! X and Y intercepts are an essential lesson for students in middle school math and algebra. These two activities help students practice identifying x and y intercepts from standard and slope intercept form. Both these lessons have been used in our real classrooms and are student approved.
In this bundle you will receive:
x and y intercept matching - students match intercepts to functions and graphs
x and y intercept scavenger hunt - students determine the intercepts of a function and find the matching answer on another poster placed around the room.
