Students evaluate functions to make a connection to compositions of functions. Students then practice finding compositions of functions. Students end the activity evaluating compositions of functions both algebraically and graphically with a challenge that includes multiple compositions.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will practice performing operations and compositions of functions in this activity where a roll of dice determines the functions and two practice problems for the functions.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students evaluate functions with function notation both algebraically and graphically.

Students will be introduced to the Empirical Rule for normal distributions and practice using it to answer questions.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will use a simulation from a website to examine the effect of standard deviation on the normal curve.

Students will use the discriminant to determine if quadratic equations have 2 imaginary, 2 real, or 1 real solution. They will then practice solving quadratic equations.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students use properties of the normal distribution to practice solving practical problems.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students are presented with four linear-quadratic systems of equations and must compare their answers from solving algebraically, looking at a table, and looking at a graph. When the solutions are non-integer solutions, they must explain how the table and graph confirm their algebraic solution.

Students will use IQ data to practice finding and interpreting z-scores.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will use a draggable point to investigate intervals of increase and decrease and then practice writing and fining intervals.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students match features of exponential and logarithmic functions and then consider which features could change with a transformation. Features include: domain, range, intervals of increasing/decreasing, x- and y- intercepts, end behavior, and asymptotes.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students practice identifying the types of variation from equations and solving problems of different types of variation.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will sort twelve scenarios into permutations and combinations. Once they have correctly sorted the scenarios, they will solve the problems in the scenarios and learn how to check their work using the Desmos graphing calculator.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will see the most common method used for solving rational equations, practice solving, and check their work on graphs.

In this self - checking activity, students will answer questions related to expressing a ratio in one of the three forms. As students enter their answers, a part of the picture will be revealed. Once students complete the self - checking part of the activity. they will complete a reflection question explaining how the relationship changes when the numbers are switched.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
In this activity, students will discover how to determine the distance between two points on the same horizontal or vertical line.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
In this activity, students will use different strategies to help understand and represent ratios.
