Students will practice finding vertical, horizontal and slant asymptotes using limits in this activity. There are included rational, involving radicals, exponential and natural logarithm functions. Students will work through 7 sections (or less if preferred). There is a function given in each section and differentiated instructions to each of the partners. In each section they share their work like this – Partner A finds all the vertical asymptotes of the given function while Partner B finds the slant asymptote of the same function. In the next section Partner B finds the vertical asymptotes of another function while Partner A finds the slant. There are sections where one of the partners is asked to find the horizontal asymptotes and the other partner – the vertical. The last section asks Partner A to find the left horizontal asymptote and Partner B – the right horizontal asymptote of a function. Students recording sheets are specially designed for this activity with HINTS and rooms to show work. Partners have to record all their answers in a table on a partners’ response sheet provided. Answer key is included.

This is a collaborative and challenging activity to practice finding derivatives by implicit differentiation. All of the equations are selected to be solved for y to get the form y= f(x). Functions included are polynomial, rational, including radicals, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric. Activity Directions: Partners work through 8 sections (or less if preferred). Each section contains one equation in two variables x and y. Partner A solve it for y and then differentiate the function y=f(x) directly to find the derivative of y(x). Partner B deals with the same equation using implicit differentiation to find the derivative of y. When partners are ready, they check that their derivatives are the same. In the next section, Partner A will use implicit differentiation while Partner B applies differentiation directly. Once the work is completed, partners compare their derivatives again. Partners are supposed to get the same answers in each section. This activity can be used once more like that - next time partners can practice the same examples exchanging their roles – Partner A takes the position of Partner B and Partner B takes the position of Partner A. In such a way each partner will solve each of the problems using two solution techniques.

This is a fun matching game on solving rational equations by cross multiplication. Students have to solve 12 equations as the first six result in linear equations and the rest six result in quadratic equations. There are 4 slides/pages with problems. On each slide/page students are given 3 equations to solve and pictures of four bonbons (candy). Students search for their answers written on the bonbons and if they find their answer written on a bonbon then they “eat the bonbon” striking it through. Then students are asked to match the problems with their solutions. Students can draw identical characters to mark the equation and its solution or they can draw a line/curve to joint the problem and its solution. Student find out that in each slide/page there is one bonbon that “can not be eaten” (the answer written on it is not solution to any of the problems). I hope your students enjoy this activity. Answer keys are included. NOTE: This product is created as a Google Slides product. I have converted it to PDF item here. I have included 2 PDF files - the one has each slide as a page and the other has four slides on a page for easy and more economic printing!

This is a set of 18 task cards with a Wizard theme on multi – step equations and inequalities. Students will solve three types of problems each containing an equation and an inequality. ▸ The first 6 problems (cards A1- A6) are showing that a given multi – step equation satisfies a given multi – step inequality. ▸ The next 6 problems (cards B1 – B6) are showing that a given equation doesn’t satisfy a given inequality. ▸ The last 6 questions (cards C1 – C6) are finding the common root between given multi – step equation and a multi - step inequality. Students work independently or in groups of two or three. Student recording sheets and answer keys are included. ❉ This may turn to fun motivational activity. Students can imagine that these are wizard’s task cards. The wizard is a mathematician and he is a good person. He will fulfill the good wish of those students who solve all of the problems correctly. The wizard can be the teacher herself or himself rewarding the students for their efforts.
