This is a fun and engaging multiple-choice game on multiplying radicals. There are 10 pages/slides with problems as each page/slide contains two similar problems. Each problem is labeled with a large alphabet letter written on a picture of a mother penguin. Students are given four answer choices labeled with the small letters a,b,c and d each written on the picture of a baby penguin. Students solve a problem, choose an answer and write the letter of the baby penguin to its mother matching the problem with its answer. The problems increase in difficulty with each next page/slide. On the first four pages/slides students multiply two radicals, in page/slide 5 they multiply three terms, in pages/slides 6, 7 and 8 students will need to use the distributive property and FOIL and in pages/slides 9 and 10 students multiply radicals with variables in the radicands. This activity can be used as an independent practice and partner activity. If students work in pairs student A will solve the first problem of a page/slide and student B will solve the second problem of the same page/slide and because they have similar problems students can help each other with methods. The answer key is contained 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!

The mixed practice consists of two tasks each having 8 problems. The first task is finding the eight products and classifying the obtained polynomials (the expressions are of one variable x). The second task is finding 8 products as this time the expressions include from two to four variables, students have to find the sum of coefficients of each of the obtained polynomials. Empty boxes where students can record their answers are provided. This one can be used as extra practice or homework. Answer keys are included.

This activity practices solving complete quadratic equations by all methods. All the equations have terms on both sides. Partners have similar type of problems so as to meet similar difficulties. They will each have their own set of three groups of six equations which must be solved by a specified method.The amusing part of this product is creating compound words corresponding to each solution set of the quadratic equations given. Activity Directions: Partners start solving their own set of three groups of six equations by a specified method. Once students has found the solution set of each equation, they are given two tables to use. There is a word corresponding to each number written in table 1. Using this table, students find which two words correspond to each solution set of their equations and make compound words. They record the solution set of each quadratic equation and write down the compound word corresponding to it in table 2 . Students show down detailed solutions on student recording sheets specially designed for this activity or they can solve the problems on a separate sheet of notebook paper. All answer keys are provided. You can split this activity into two or three parts!

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. In the next section, partners take turns and it goes the same way. If extra practice is needed Partner A and Partner B can change places with each other and continue solving. 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 includes four different multiple - choice quizzes each of eight radical equations and a brief biographical text of NASA research mathematician Katherine Johnson (to be completed). Students will practice solving radical equations reducible to linear and quadratics. Extraneous solutions are included. The radical equations contain: a monomial and/or a binomial under a radical symbol a radical expression on one side of the equation and a monomial or a binomial on the other side radical expressions on the both sides of the equations (“radical equals radical”) Most of the equations require rearranging and isolating the radical and the rest are set up to square both sides. All the equations require squaring once. Activity Directions: Students solve all the equations. The answers they get will give them pieces of a brief biographic story about the American scientist Katherine Johnson. It can stimulate student interest in Math and provide a role model for all students. Recording sheets are provided for students to show all work. Answer keys are included.

This activity practices solving rational equations reducible to linear by cross multiplication method. The types of equations included are described in details in the preview file. All coefficients and almost all of the solutions of the equations are integers. Activity Directions: In task 1, partners are notified that each pair of their problems (A1, B1), (A2, B2) and the rest have solutions of opposite signs. Students reduce the rational equations to linear using the cross multiplication and solve for the variable. They compare answers with each other to check if they have solved the equations properly. In task 2, partners are given another set of rational equations. This time they must determine the root of which of the equations of one partner is opposite in sign to the root of randomly chosen equation of the other partner. Solving each of their equations ( by cross multiplying ) and comparing the solutions will help partners to find out which pairs of equations have solutions of opposite signs. There is else one extra question. Partners need to find out which of another rational equations given have no solution. Partners response sheet and student recording sheets are specially designed and provided for this activity. All answer keys are included as well.
