This class project is sure to be a hit with any and all of your students! Students have been hired as consultants for Monsters University to solve some team problems. Students must use the provided data to create a linear regression (line of best fit, least squares equation) in order to determine a correlation coefficient. Afterwards, students identify residuals for each piece of data. After collecting all the necessary information, students are led through questions related to the organization. When I did this in class I gave all three (3 similar projects all found on our page) and let them choose. The choices were mixed and the students loved that they were able to individualize the days lesson depending on their interests. After students were finished each group received a reporting form. This is the form the "consultants" would hand their employer to summarize their findings. This was absolutely a hit in our class! We have actually created three similar scenarios to cover the same information. If you want all three projects I have bundled each for just 5.99!
This great activity is a self-checking loop of problems. This set is all to do with finding specific of cosine and sine of a given angle . Students choose to start with any question they'd like, determine the answer, and look for it around the room. Once they find the answer, they complete the question on that specific page. The questions are in a big loop so when the student returns back to their original page, they are finished. This is a fantastic way to have a self-checking review. Students know immediately if they did something wrong with their calculations. It also allows students to spread out and work at their own pace.
Note: The answers specifically leave out the angles as to not give students the answers as they move around from problem to problem.
In this scavenger hunt students will use trigonometric functions to determine missing side lengths or unknown angles. Students will use sine, cosine, tangent and their inverses. Students can start at any poster, solve the problem, and find the answer on another poster. If done correctly they will end up back where they started. Scavenger hunts are a great way for students to take ownership of their work and use self-assessment techniques.

You always knew your friendship with an eccentric scientist was interesting but you never thought it would lead to this!
Your students will need to use their knowledge of linear functions in standard form,(mainly word problems), x and y-intercepts, literal equations and line of best fit in order to escape the past and end up back in present time.
Each puzzle will require flexible thinking in order to determine the clue. Students will then find the next clue and work on the puzzle. There are 7 total puzzles in all.
We've included some implementation and modification ideas pending on the size of your class and ability level. This does require work on the Teacher planning part but students love it!
If a puzzle answer or clue doesn't work for your classroom, feel free to modify it! You can change one clue and still keep the integrity of the activity and lesson!
The answer key is inherently included as it will need to the next clue!
This bundle contains 3 activities to practice x and y intercepts.
Matching - Requires students to match an equation (standard and slope-intercept forms) to graphs and their intercepts
Intercepts Scavenger Hunt - Students determine the x and y-intercepts from an equation and find the matching intercepts
Standard Form Scavenger Hunt - Students determine the x and y-intercepts from an equation in standard form and find the matching graph.
This 9 poster scavenger hunt requires students to examine the characteristics of rational expressions graphs. Have students analyze a question and find the graph that matches the information.

The review includes identifying characteristics of exponential, linear, absolute value and quadratic functions. The basic of analyzing a function such as the rate of change, function notation and solving functions is also included. A power point slide with directions on how to play the relay race game is attached. These directions are very common but you can play in whatever way you'd like. Also attached are questions to cut out and an answer sheet for each student.
This is a scavenger hunt that focuses on students ability to solve absolute value functions. We love these activities because they let students work independently and assess their own work. This gives them ownership of their work, which they love. We have had nothing but success using scavenger hunts in our math classes! This is definitely one of our favorites!
A scavenger hunt allows students to self check and analyze their own work all while practicing a skill. Students start at any poster, solve the problem and look for the answer around the room. If done correctly, students will end up back at their original poster. This is a great way for total participation for practice and automatic feedback.
In this scavenger hunt, students will analyze polynomials to determine degree, leading coefficient and constants.
Common Core Aligned: CCSS.HSA.APR.D.6
This 10 poster scavenger hunt requires students to use knowledge of imaginary and complex numbers and simplify using the distributive property. Students can start at any poster and simplify the expression. Once they have an answer they will look around the room for the poster with the matching answer. Students repeat the process until they get back to their original poster.
Why do students and teachers love this?
Students get automatic feedback on their work using scavenger hunts.
We've had nothing but success using this lesson as a review for a quiz/test or as extra practice after introducing complex numbers.
