Graph-A-Palooza (Linear Equations)
Are you trying to help your students see the connection between slope-intercept, point-slope, and standard form? If so, Graph-A-Palooza is the activity for you.
With four pages and a total of 16 problems, students will begin by finding the slope between two points. Once they find the slope, students will write an equation in point slope form and then convert that equation to slope intercept form. After this, students will convert their equation to standard form and use that equation to easily find the x and y intercepts. Students will plot the two given two points, any x and y intercepts that they find, and then they will draw a line connecting the points. Students should then verify that the slope matches their graphs and that all the concepts and ideas connect together.
This is a great activity to reinforce the three forms of equations and see how they are all connected. Students must be able to work with fractions and distribution to complete all of the problems.

AP Calculus Optimization and Related Rates Foldable
This single piece of paper foldable has instructions, strategies, and an example for related rates, optimization, linearization, and differential problems.
One foldable and one "answer key" foldable are included. The teacher can either provide the students with the "answer key" foldable, or the teacher can walk through the setup, the steps, and the answer to each of the examples and have the students fill in portions and highlight and color in important information as they work along.
Students will simply fold the piece of paper in toward the center line on the Related Rates/Optimization side and a small booklet will be created.

Multitasking Challenge - Box Plot Activity
Do you students ever say that they are good multitaskers? Use this activity to show them that their typical perception of multitasking is actually an act of “task switching” and is a hindrance to learning. By using one class timer, each student will discover how long it takes them to complete two separate writing challenges. After the challenges are complete, you can use this data to have students find the five number summary in order to create and compare box plots of the challenge times. This activity can lead to a great class discussion that can encourage students to avoid distractions when they are doing school work.
