A series of assessment tasks require learners to process information and communicate solutions. Topics include graphing parabolas, solving linear-quadratic systems, factoring polynomials, and solving polynomial equations. 

This activity uses the division algorithm and the definition of a zero/root of a function to guide your class to see the relationship between zeros and factors of a general quadratic, which can later be generalized to the Remainder...

These four problems will guide your class through the idea behind the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which states that a polynomial of degree n has exactly n roots. Use the division algorithm and the definition of a zero/root of a...

Functions behaving badly: the squaring function and the absolute value function are both zero at x=0. Yet when you divide each by x, different things happen. Here, your class will explore each scenario as a means to adding depth to their...

Expand and contract algebra. Using a video from a larger review series, pupils refresh their skills to factor algebraic expressions. They also use the distributive property to expand expressions on the learning exercise. Problems range...

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

Performance task questions are the most difficult to write. Use this assessment so you don't have to! These questions assess factoring quadratics, modeling with quadratics, and key features of quadratic graphs. All questions require...

Critical thinking is an important aspect of mathematics — it's time to put your brain to work! Use this assessment to challenge pupils and test their skills. Concepts assessed include function notation, factoring, completing the square,...

Take the time out of preparing an algebra review and use this multiple-choice assessment to prep for the big test. Some included topics are factoring, FOILing, inequalities, and linear graphs. 

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...

This activity highlights the use of the remainder theorem to solve for the unknown coefficient of a specified polynomial when given one of its factors. Use this single problem as a warm-up exercise, a quick check-in at the end of a...

Starting a year of Algebra I? This mighty packet practices all of the major topics with different ranges of difficulty. Standards include everything from linear to quadratic to rational expressions. Use it in a...

Use various methods in order to find all the zeros of polynomial expressions or functions. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

Practice exercise reviews factoring polynomials including how to factor out the greatest common factor, factoring by grouping, factoring quadratics, and factoring polynomials with degree greater than 2.

Practice using your graphing calculator for solving exponent problems and factoring polynomials. If you get stumped or if you would like to check your work, then select the View Solution button, which is located directly under each problem.

Factor polynomials that are the product of a monomial and a quadratic expression, then further factor the quadratic expression. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or...

Factor complex polynomials (i.e. polynomials of various degrees and or with two variables) using special product factorization methods. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a...

An interactive quiz which provides students with a problem involving a polynomial function to be solved. Students input their solution and have the program evaluate it. Hints are available if the student needs them, and explanations are...

Identify correctly factored forms of given polynomials. Factorizations may use complex numbers. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Factor 'advanced' polynomials (i.e. polynomials of various degrees and or with two variables) using quadratic factorization methods.

Factor 'advanced' polynomials (i.e. polynomials of various degrees and or with two variables) using special product factorization methods.

Factor polynomials that can be factored as the product of a monomial and a quadratic expression, then further factor the quadratic expression.

Generate easy and hard worksheets for factoring polynomials. solving quadratic equations, and multiplying polynomials.

Check for college math readiness using this problem sampler. Problems cover high school algebra topics, including linear and quadratic equations, factoring, radicals, rational expressions, synthetic division, complex numbers and more....
