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 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.
This scavenger hunt requires students to use knowledge of midline, period, amplitude and y-intercepts to characterize different sine and cosine functions and their graphs.
Students start at any poster, answer the question, and find the answer on another poster around the room. If done correctly, they will end up back at the same poster. This is a great activity to have students self-check their knowledge.

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.
This matching activity is designed to be practice for students in finding the x- and y-intercepts of a graph and from an equation. Students will have to use critical thinking skills in order to match the three sets. Finding intercepts is a difficult task for students to attain. This practice will help students see the relation between an ordered pair, equation of a line and a graphed line.

This activity is to reinforce knowledge of vertical and horizontal transformations of quadratic functions. Students are required to match an equation, graph and point notation. This is a great activity to do before a test, after instruction or for homework as reinforcement of skills for a tough concept!
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 is a scavenger hunt that focuses on students ability to solve absolute value functions. We love these activities because they let students work independently and assess their own work. This gives them ownership of their work, which they love. We have had nothing but success using scavenger hunts in our math classes! This is definitely one of our favorites!
This is a straightforward activity involving a problem situation and a pool. Students are given information about the specification about a pool and must come up with the piecewise function, create a table, and graph the information. This is a great way to represent the information in multiple modes and demonstrate a real world example of the importance of piecewise functions. This assignment could be done as a class for instruction or indpendently as a grade or practice. We have completed this lesson in our own classes with great success!
We've made a trigonometry version of our beloved relay race! In the trigonometry relay race, students are required to use knowledge of:
- sine, cosine, tangent
- inverse to determine angles
- converting degrees to radians and radians to degrees
- the unit circle
- finding unknown sides using trig functions
- exact values of common angles
- relationships between sine, cosine and tangent
Now with an answer key and equation bank!
Our students always love the relay race and is our favorite review for students.
A scavenger hunt allows students to self check and analyze their own work all while practicing a skill. Students start at any poster, solve the problem and look for the answer around the room. If done correctly, students will end up back at their original poster. This is a great way for total participation for practice and automatic feedback.
In this scavenger hunt, students will analyze polynomials to determine degree, leading coefficient and constants.
Common Core Aligned: CCSS.HSA.APR.D.6
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.

Can your students escape the time warp and arrive safely back in present time? Find out with this escape room.
This escape room contains 5 puzzles requiring students to demonstrate knowledge quadratic functions and finding a vertex, factoring, using the quadratic formula and solving word problems.
Students will use a cipher to determine the corresponding letters and clues for each puzzle.
By the end of the 5 puzzles students will have a phrase they must use to escape the clutches of time.
Answer key included with all the work written out for you!
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!
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.

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.
