I created this scientific notation graphic organizer for my physical science students to glue in their interactive notebooks. I wanted to start class with a discussion of why scientific notation is useful and what it looks like. Free Download of Scientific Notation Graphic Organizer
I created this accuracy vs precision graphic organizer for my physical science students to glue in their interactive notebooks. This is part of our first unit of the year – the mathematics of science. First, we wrote definitions for accuracy and precision. I could tell that my students were writing these definitions down without really …
I created this graphing ordered pairs graphic organizer to review the coordinate plane with my algebra students. I actually ended up using it with both my Algebra 1 and my Algebra 2 students. In the future, I would like to make this into a booklet foldable and put practice problems inside. I would ask students …
I often use the 3 Essential Rules of Math to review solving equations with my algebra students. I learned about these three essential rules from Glenn Waddell. When I first started, I would have students write out the three rules. Then, we would make note of when we used each rule while working through some …
I created this solving quadratics by graphing INB page for my Algebra 2 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. We did this directly after solving quadratics by factoring. I used the same equations from the factoring page so students could (hopefully!) make the connection between finding x-intercepts and finding solutions. Free Download of Solving …
I created this slope concept map with my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. Free Download of Slope Concept Map
I created this finding slope from a graph graphic organizer for my Algebra 1 students to complete and glue in their interactive notebooks. These notes were a great improvement to my past interactive notebook page for this topic. Free Download of Finding Slope from a Graph Graphic Organizer
I created this justifying function or not a function interactive notebook page to help model for my students how to write proper justification sentences. I always get so frustrated when students will say that something is a function or not a function without any explanation. As we’ve been reviewing for the EOI these past few …
I created this completing the square graphic organizer for my Algebra 2 students to glue in their interactive notebooks after we explored completing the square with algebra tiles. This student obviously did not pay attention when we were completing the square. I guess he did complete the square, but… To illustrate completing the square, I …
These are the pythagorean theorem notes I used with my trigonometry students in our beginning of year geometry review. We glued these notes in our trigonometry interactive notebooks. The Pythagorean Theorem booklet was stole from the blog of Jessie Hester. She has a ton of resources for teaching the Pythagorean Theorem! If I was teaching …
I created this graphing functions on the coordinate plane graphic organizer for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. We completed this as part of a much larger activity that involved modeling function machines using flip chutes. I was a bit frustrated over my students’ struggle with function notation from the previous …
Today I’m sharing our conic sections foldables and graphic organizers that we glued in our interactive notebooks in Algebra 2. I’m so sad to be finished with conics. I just love them that much. Conic cards are a huge reason why I like this unit so much. My students, on the other hand, are quite …
The main change I’ve made to my Algebra 2 conic sections unit this year is to introduce a classifying conic sections flow chart that I got from Rebecka Peterson. It’s crazy to think about how much things can change over the course of a year. Last year, I was dreading teaching conic sections to my …
I want to share a domain and range graphic organizer I created for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. I used the same DIXROY mnemonic device with my Algebra 1 students that I introduced to my Algebra 2 students. I don’t really know how many students even use this to help …
I created this dividing radicals graphic organizer for my algebra students to glue in their interactive notebooks. I created similar graphic organizers for adding and subtracting radicals and multiplying radicals. Free Download of Dividing Radicals Graphic Organizer Alternate Version of Dividing Radicals Graphic Organizer In 2017, I created an alternate version of this dividing radicals …
We ended our unit on radicals in Algebra 2 with rational exponents and converting between radical form and rational exponent form. I created a visual summary of the process for my students to glue in their interactive notebooks as a sort of rational exponents graphic organizer. I gave this page to my students, and I instructed …
After we finished simplifying radicals, we moved on to create this adding and subtracting radicals graphic organizer. I had my Algebra 2 students glue it in their interactive notebooks after we were finished so they would be able to keep it as a reference. Free Download of Adding and Subtracting Radicals Graphic Organizer Alternate Version …
I created the prime and composite numbers chart to glue in our Algebra 2 interactive notebooks at the beginning of our unit on radicals. Before we could delve into simplifying radicals, I needed to refresh my students’ memories regarding prime and composite numbers. We color-coded a hundreds chart to keep in our notebooks for reference. …
Since the graphic organizer I created for adding and subtracting radicals worked so well, I decided to create a multiplying radicals graphic organizer. My students glued it in their interactive notebooks to serve as a reference. Free Download of Multiplying Radicals Graphic Organizer Alternate Version of Multiplying Radicals Graphic Organizer In 2017, I created an …
This graphing inequalities foldable was inspired by a foldable I saw on Coffee Cups and Lesson Plans. I started this unit by drawing the different inequality symbols on my Smart Board. I wrote numbers above each symbol. Then, I asked a simple question, “Who can tell me which number is above the symbol that …
We created this rate of change graphic organizer to glue in our algebra interactive notebooks. This year, I emphasized rate of change much more than I did last year. I used this as an opportunity to constantly review the difference between dependent and independent variables. Whenever students would struggle with interpreting the rate of …
I created this inverse operations graphic organizer for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks at the beginning of our unit on solving equations. The notes at the bottom were my attempt at helping my students who were having trouble determining if a number was being added, subtracted, or multiplied in an …
Today I want to share a naming polynomials graphic organizer I created for my students to glue in their algebra interactive notebooks. I want to start by sharing how my philosophy regarding teaching vocabulary has changed recently. Last year, I had a conversation with a student that changed my outlook on vocabulary. This was not …
Today I want to share some graphic organizers I created to remind students the steps for factoring quadratics. We filled these out and glued them in our algebra interactive notebooks. This year, I am taking a big risk with my Algebra 1 kiddos. I taught them to factor quadratic trinomials with a leading coefficient greater …
