Logarithmic Equations with the Same Solution - Group Activity

Logarithmic Equations with the Same Solution - Group Activity

(0)
This is a collaborative and challenging group activity to practice solving logarithmic equations. Students will apply the properties of logarithms: • One - To - One Property • Product Rule • Quotient Rule There are given six groups logarithmic equations of different types ( total of 24 equations). Most of the equations need to be transformed from logarithmic to exponential form. There are included equations with common and natural logarithms. Extraneous solutions are possible. Activity Directions: Each member of a group is asked to choose one of the equations from group A to solve it. Then members are instructed to search for one and only equation of each of the other groups of logarithmic equations which has the same solution as their own initially chosen equation of group A. A proposal strategy for a group of 4 to handle this task: each partner solves one equation of each group and then members sort the equations into groups according their solutions. Students solve equations on a separate sheet of paper and then show solutions to the equations having the same root on the recording sheets provided. Answer keys are included.

Multiply & Divide Rational Expressions - "Knock Down the Skittles" Matching Game

(0)
This is a fun game called “Knock Down the Skittles” on multiplying and dividing rational expressions. The problem pages/slides are three. On each page/slide students are given four problems, pictures of five skittles and five answer choices each written below each skittle. Students perform the indicated operation solving a problem and search for the answer they have obtained. They will find their answer written below some of the skittles. Students are said to “knock down” this skittle (they can scratch it off/strike it through). One of the skittles can not be “knocked down” as below it is written a false answer. If students solve all the problems on the page/slide correctly they will find out which one is this skittle. Finally students are asked to connect each problem with its answer drawing a line (students can use and another way to match the problems with their answers for instance marking the problem and its answer the same symbol or color). There are included three answer key pages/slides at the end of this document. 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 two or three slides on a page for easy and more economic printing!

Evaluating Polynomial Functions - Multiple - Choice St.Valentine's Day Mulitple-Choice Activity

(0)
This is a multiple-choice fun St. Valentine’s Day activity on evaluating polynomial functions. On each page/slide students are given one polynomial to evaluate for a given value of x. Students are asked to use substitution or synthetic division or both methods. There is given a picture of heart and faces of a girl and a boy inside the heart, students also have four answer choices and love words corresponding to each answer choice. Students have to use their answer to find what love words has the boy said to the girl on St. Valentine’s Day. The pages/slides with problems are eight. Students can draw a shape of a heart to mark their answer choice in each slide. The polynomials included are of 3th, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th degree, the number of terms are from 4 to 6. This activity can be completed individually or students can work in pairs (partner A will evaluate the polynomial using substitution and partner B will evaluate the same polynomial using synthetic division, then partners compare their answers and choose the correct answer choice; on the next page/slide partner A will use synthetic division and partner B will use substitution to solve the problem. Thus partners will practice both methods and will enjoy this activity together. I think this activity can be used in all days of school year. The answer key is given at the end of this document.

Operations with Complex Numbers - Cut and Paste Matching Game (fun and challenging)

(0)
This is a fun and challenging matching game called “Put my Hat on my Head”. It consists of 20 problems in which students practice simplifying expressions with complex numbers. The problems require adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing complex numbers. Seven of the problems require rationalizing the denominator. Nine of the problems require knowledge of powers of imaginary numbers. None of the problems require simplifying radicals. ( The problems are a bit more complicated than ordinary examples! ) Activity Directions: Students are asked to write each of 20 given expressions as a complex number in standard form. They are also given two pictures – one with men heads labeled with the letters of the problems and one with hats on which are written the answers. Students cut out the hats to “put” each hat “on the head” of the man it belongs to (match answers with problems). This activity can be completed individually or in pairs. Answer keys are included. I hope you and your students enjoy!
