Foldables

I created this writing absolute value equations and inequalities foldable for my Algebra 1 students to complete and glue in their interactive notebooks. We completed this foldable after exploring absolute value relations and creating an absolute value foldable. Students were given graphs of various absolute value equations and inequalities, and they had to determine the …

After exploring patterns in absolute value graphs, we created an absolute value foldable to glue in our interactive notebooks. I had students take a colored sheet of paper, fold it in half hamburger style, cut it in half, and give give half to their neighbor.  We used colored markers to write out the general form …

I created this describing absolute value relations foldable to introduce students to the graphs of absolute value equations and inequalities. My Algebra 1 students glued the resulting foldable in their interactive notebooks. My first goal of my absolute value unit was to get students to graph absolute value functions by making an input/output table and …

We ended our absolute value unit in Algebra 1 with this Predicting Absolute Value Transformations Foldable. Our learning goal for this lesson was to be able to predict how the graph of an absolute value relation will be transformed when the equation or inequality is changed. My students were a bit frustrated with me because …

I created this finding slope and intercepts foldable for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. This is the first year I haven’t shown “The Adventures of Slope Dude” in class.  I didn’t have a working projector/SMARTBoard for almost two months, so this affected a lot of how I did things in …

I created this interpreting slope and intercepts foldable for my Algebra 1 students to complete and glue in their interactive notebooks. I wanted to give my students practice finding slope and intercepts from a graph or a table AND interpreting what those slope and intercepts mean in the context of the graph. My students often …

I created this calculating rate of change from a graph practice book for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. Free Download of Calculating Rate of Change from a Graph Practice Book

I created this finding trig functions through a point practice book to give my trigonometry students practice finding the sine, cosine, and tangent of a point on the coordinate plane. This put together so many of the concepts we had learned in this unit and the previous unit.  It’s so exciting to see all of …

I had my students create this foldable to help them remember the signs of trig functions in each quadrant. We glued the resulting foldable in our trigonometry interactive notebooks. They were quick to ask how they should do this?  I simply told them to pick a point in that quadrant and find the sine/cosine/tangent value. …

I created this reference angles foldable for my trigonometry students to glue in their interactive notebooks. The first image I gave students as a reference was from TutorVista.com.  The second image I gave my students was from RegentsPrep.org. On the inside of this booklet foldable, I had students sketch the angles (given in both degrees …

After using our angle spinner to learn about sketching angles in standard position, we created these two sketching angles in standard position practice books to glue in our trigonometry interactive notebooks. We did the practice book for sketching angles in standard form with DEGREES first.  I did this because students are most comfortable working with …

I love this clinometer activity for giving my trigonometry students extra practice finding missing angles and sides of right triangles. Plus, it answers the question of “When will we ever use this?” I printed a clinometer template off of VirtualMaths.org for them to use. I mistakenly assumed that they would be able to put together …

I created this finding missing angles of right triangles practice book for my trigonometry students to glue in their interactive notebooks. My students were a bit miffed that they had to just write these equations.  They thought I should have given them a foldable for these! I did make them a practice book, though.  These …

I really liked how this Win Some Cash task went with my Algebra 1 student! Yesterday, we started graphing functions in Algebra 1 by making input/output tables.  I wanted to find a task to use with my students to introduce the concept without just jumping into a million practice problems. Thankfully, I saved a bunch …

Here are the domain and range foldables I created for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. I use the DIXI ROYD mnemonic device to help students remember the difference between domain and range. DIXI ROYD Foldables for Domain and Range We made a DIXI ROYD foldable to remind ourselves of the …

I created this calculating rate of change from a table or set of points practice book for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. This year, I’m structuring things a bit differently in Algebra 1.  Some changes have been for the better, and some haven’t.  I’ve already started making a list of …

There isn’t much to this chemical symbol foldable, but there’s something about it that just makes me so happy.  I wanted to come up with a quick reminder for my students about how to write a chemical symbol that identifies the specific isotope we are looking at. Here’s what our completed interactive notebook page ended …

Since my physical science students are working through their first chemistry unit, I created a foldable to summarize how to read the periodic table.  The inside of the foldable contains a periodic table I found online.  When I went to look for a periodic table online, I was really frustrated that I couldn’t find exactly …

I want to share a subatomic particles foldable I created for my physical science students to glue in their interactive notebooks. My physical science students are starting our first unit that addresses the periodic table.  I decided to kick off this unit by reviewing the three types of subatomic particles.  This is a review for …

I created this operations with radicals foldable to review the topic with my trigonometry students as part of our beginning of the year review unit. I’m pretty happy with how this foldable ended up turning out! My students chose to only do one example under each flap.  I guess that means they actually remember stuff …

I created this practice book to give my trigonometry students some much needed review of finding the distance between any two points on the coordinate plane. I’m a rebel and chose not to teach the distance formula since it’s way easier to just use the Pythagorean Theorem instead. Instructions for Finding the Distance Between Any …

I created this special right triangle discovery activity to help my trigonometry students discover (or rediscover) the patterns in the sides of the 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 special right triangles. 45-45-90 Special Right Triangle Discovery Activity The page I’m showing you FIRST is actually what we did LAST.  Yes, I’m that teacher who makes my students …

I made this new solving absolute value equations foldable for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. This is actually my first year ever teaching students to solve absolute value equations. They weren’t included in Oklahoma’s old standards for Algebra 1 or Algebra 2, so I didn’t cover them.   I felt …

Hi all! Today I’m super excited to share a guest post from a blog reader who teaches 8th grade Geometry in Washington. She wants to share the very first foldable she created for her geometry students. It is a composition of transformations foldable.  Since this is her first post, she doesn’t want me to include …

I created this rationalizing the denominator practice book for my trigonometry students to glue in their interactive notebooks. Rationalizing the denominator shows up in so many trig problems, so I made a poof book with rationalizing the denominator practice problems inside.
