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.

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 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.

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.
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.
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 9 poster scavenger hunt requires students to examine the characteristics of rational expressions graphs. Have students analyze a question and find the graph that matches the information.
Students will:
Identify the horizontal and vertical asymptotes
Identify the domain and range
Describe end behavior
Determine holes (if any) (please note: the holes are indicated by points on the graph)
This is easily adaptable to fit your class needs and instructional methods.
This is a great review of rational expressions and their graphs after instruction or before a test.
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.

A murder mystery that requires students to use their knowledge of basic trigonometric functions to find the killer!
Students will be led through 5 puzzles to find clues leading to the killer. Puzzles require students to use knowledge of finding unknown sides and angles using sine, cosine and tangent, solving word problems, converting radians to degrees and unit circles. After solving the 5 clues, only one suspect will be left.
Need to change a puzzle for your specific class! It's easy to change any of the puzzles as long as the clue matches up!

This bundle contains 3 activities to practice x and y intercepts.
Matching - Requires students to match an equation (standard and slope-intercept forms) to graphs and their intercepts
Intercepts Scavenger Hunt - Students determine the x and y-intercepts from an equation and find the matching intercepts
Standard Form Scavenger Hunt - Students determine the x and y-intercepts from an equation in standard form and find the matching graph.
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.
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.
A 15 poster scavenger hunt that requires students to use the quadratic formula to find their next answer. Students can start at any poster, determine the zeros of the quadratic function, and find a poster with that answer. Once at the new poster, students have a new problem to solve and find solutions. If done correctly, students will end up back at the same poster they started.
This is a great activity for students to self reflect on their knowledge. If they get a question wrong they will have to fix it to find the right answer before moving on.
This can be used as practice or test review.
Answer key included.

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!
