Quadratic Equations (by the Square Root Method) -"Find out the idioms" Partner Activity
nikimathnikimath

Quadratic Equations (by the Square Root Method) -"Find out the idioms" Partner Activity

(0)
This activity practices solving incomplete quadratic equations by taking square roots. Almost all of the equations are in standard form. Solutions are rational (integers and fractions) and irrational numbers. The fun part is finding an idiom corresponding to each solution sets of the partners’ quadratic equations labeled with one and the same small alphabetic letter. Activity Directions: Students start solving their own set of twelve equations by the square root method. They are given tables to use. Using table 2, each partner finds which two words correspond to each solution set of his equations. At last partners together rearrange the words corresponding to their equations labeled with one and the same small alphabetic letter and find out an idiom. They find out 12 different idioms and write them in table 3. Answer keys are included.

Finding Limits Analytically - "Mathematicians Search" Activity

(0)
This activity practices computing FINITE limits (a total of 12 various examples) involving rational functions, radicals and trigonometric functions. Students will apply the properties of limits and evaluate the limits algebraically by factoring, conjugate and substitution methods. They will also need to use some basic trig limits. The limits in this activity can all be found without L’Hopital’s rule. Activity Directions: Students have to compute 12 limits. They are asked to use a table given to find the mathematician’s name corresponding to each of their answers. If students find all the limits correctly, they will learn the names of mathematicians involved in calculus. All answer keys are included.

Partial Fractions Decomposition- Partner Activity(16 problems)

(0)
This is a collaborative partner activity on partial fractions decomposition. It takes each partner through 8 problems of the following types – rational fraction with denominator (ax+b)(cx+d) ax^2 +bx +c where the quadratic trinomial can be factored (ax+b)^2 (ax^2 +b)(cx+d) (ax+b)(cx+d)^2 (x+a)(x+b)(x+c) x(ax^2 +bx +c) as the quadratic trinomial can not be factored (ax^2 +c)^2 Partners corresponding problems are similar (problem 1A is similar to problem 1B, problems 2A is similar to problem 2B and etc). This activity can also be used as a review in AP Calculus BC or College Calculus 2 before the Techniques of Integration section on Partial Fraction. Answer keys are included.
Arc Length and Sector Area - Partner Activity
nikimathnikimath

Arc Length and Sector Area - Partner Activity

(0)
This is an engaging and collaborative partner activity in which students will use the formulas for arc length and sector area. There are 12 sections as in each partners are given a central angle θ in degrees and the radius r of a circle. In each odd section Partner A has to find the area of the subtended sector and Partner B has to calculate the length of the intercepted arc. And in each even section Partner A has to find the length of the intercepted arc and Partner B has to compute the area of the formed sector. This is a cute way to help students remember the formulas for arc length and sector area. Student may convert the degrees into radians and use the formulas A=0.5θ r^2 and s=rθ (θ must be in radians) or they can use the formulas A=(θ/360) πr^2 and s=(θ/360) 2πr ( here θ must be in degrees). The given central angle θ is <90 degrees ; 90<θ<180; 180<θ<270 and 270<θ<360 degrees. The activity instructions don’t require that students round to the nearest tenth/hundredth/thousandth so they may leave their answers with pi or they may use the pi button on their calculator to obtain the answers, depends on teacher’s decision. The activity sheets can be used as response sheets. Recording sheet where students to show their detailed calculations is provided as well. Answer keys are included.
