This product is designed to be used for groups of 2, 3 and/or 4 members. The activity practices solving simple exponential equations with different bases without using square roots and logarithms. All the equations are of type “Exponential function = Counting Number ” and the base of the exponential function is a counting number too. All the equations result in linear. Activity Directions: Partners will each have their own set of 12 exponential equations. They start solving and write down the solutions of the problems on the recording sheet provided or on a separate sheet of paper. Then students look for the numbers they have found on the “keyholes board” - a set of keyholes given with numbers on them. They find some of their answers written on the keyholes, so that way they get the correct keys to “unlock” them. Partners mark the “unlocked keyholes” on the board. They record which are the “unlocked keyholes” and count them. Partners show the teacher their results. The group which is ready first and who has worked correctly wins. All answer keys are included.

This activity practices solving quadratic equations.The half of the equations are in standard form and set to zero and the other half have one term on the right side of the equation. There are also included incomplete quadratic equations. Solutions are only rational numbers. Activity Directions: Partners will each have their own set of 8 quadratic equations. They solve the first four of them by factoring and the rest – by the most appropriate method they choose. Then they search for the numbers they have found on the “balloons board” - a set of balloons given with numbers and words on them. When students find their answers written on some of the balloons, they “burst” (strike-through) them. The words written on these balloons will be eliminated too. Partners continue solving still that way and at last they will have some balloons “survived” inseparably with the words on them. They can arrange all these words remained to make a proverb. All answer keys are included. I hope your students enjoy “eliminating balloons” and searching for wisdom sayings.

This is a multiple-choice activity on solving linear equations in one variable. The resource is great for advanced practice containing 8 challenging equations. The problem slides are four as on each slide students are provided with 2 equations. Choosing which between four optional answers is correct, students will find out and learn to which constellation between four a red/blue giant star given its name belongs, to which constellation between four a white/red dwarf star given its name belongs, which between four planets is an ice giant, which between four planets is a gas giant, which of four constellations is the largest and which between four asteroids is largest by diameter. Thus this activity stimulates students interests in both algebra and astronomy. Students circle the letters of the chosen answers. Answer key is included.

This is an engaging and self-checking St. Patrick’s Day themed activity on one, two and multi-step equations. On each slide students are given three equations- one one-step, one two step and one multi-step equations. Students have to solve the first equation for x, the second- for y and the third-for z. (The first equation solved gives 1 point, the second- 2 points and the third equation gives 4 points). Then students can check whether their work is all done correctly using the given hint - an equation that is a relation between the three variables x, y and z. Students have only to substitute in this relation the values of x, y and z that they have obtained and perform the indicated operations. The hint provides students an idea of an equation containing more than one variable. Students can show work typing in the empty boxes in each slide. The slides with problems are 6. Students can complete this activity independently or working in groups of three. The activity may also turn to competition between groups ( the group that has gained most points wins). Answer key is contained at the end of this document. Have a Happy St.Patrick’s Day! NOTE: I created this product in Google Slides. I uploaded it here in PDF format as I have included 2 PDF files - the one has each slide as a page and the other has three slides on a page for easy and more economic printing!

In this 12 questions - partner activity, students will solve systems of linear equations with three variables. The problems are adaptable to all methods ( elimination, substitution, Gaussian elimination, Cramer’s Rule) so the teacher or students can choose the methods they will use. All systems have one and only one solution ( All systems are consistent and their equations are independent)! The answer of each of Partner’s A problems are the same as the answer of each Partner’s B corresponding problem. (Problems A1 and B1 are corresponding, so as problems A2 and B2 and so on). Students are instructed to check whether their results match. If their answers don’t match, they work together to figure out what went wrong. Student recording sheets and answer keys are provided.

This activity practices converting between polar and rectangular coordinates. Students will work on 12 problems. The first six problems are converting given rectangular coordinates into polar coordinates. The next six problems are converting points in polar coordinates to rectangular form.

This is a collaborative partner activity to practice condensing and expanding logarithmic expressions using the properties of logarithms. Partners work through 12 sections. Each section contains one logarithmic expressions to be expanded by one of the partners, then the other partner must check his partner’s work by condensing the obtained expression.

Applying both expanding and condensing logarithms help students gain a better understanding of the relationship between these operations. Solutions are provided.

This activity is designed to be used for groups of 4 members! It practices solving quadratic equations by factoring. The most of the equations have one or two terms on the right side and need to be reduced in their standard form. The leading coefficient is 1. Solutions are only integers. Activity Directions: Partners will each have their own set of 8 quadratic equations. They start solving and write down the solutions of the problems on the recording sheet provided. Then students look for the answers they have found on the “skittles board” – set of “pairs of skittles” given with numbers on them. They will find that all their solution sets are written on these pairs. Each player must cross out or mark the pairs of skittles which represent the solution sets of his equations. The group which has solved all the equations correctly and has “knocked down all the skittles” first, wins. Answer keys are included.
