Give your students a fun and engaging way to practice finding Polynomial End Behaviors with these two unique learning activities. First is an interactive foldable with matching which helps your students sort through the four different types of end behavior by both odd & even powers, and the sign of the leading coefficient of the polynomial. It can be printed two sided back to back or one sided and students can make their own covers. Students determine the end behavior of 4 graphs, then cut and paste the pieces matching them into the appropriate areas of the foldable. The foldable then becomes a great reference and study guide for this important topic. Directions are included. Great for Interactive Notebooks! The second part of this resource is an interactive maze. Students determine the end behavior from an equation or from a description of a polynomial. They travel through the maze until they reach the endpoint. The same notation is used on the foldable and the maze. Students need to complete 14 problems to complete the maze. Answer key included. The maze is also an EASEL Activity. ______________________________________________________ You may also like: ★ Polynomial End Behavior Digital Activities ★ Polynomial End Behavior with BOOM Cards ★ Polynomial Functions End Behavior FUN Notes - NEW! ★ Polynomial Graphs and Properties FUN Notes Doodle Pages, Complete notes in a fun format ★ Solving Polynomial Equations by Factoring Triple Matching Task Card Activity ★ Zeros of Polynomials - Find the Equation of from a Graph - Task Cards - Notes ★ Dots and Boxes Fun Game for Synthetic Division ★ PreCalculus Parent Functions Graphic Organizers ★ Parent Functions FUN Notes ★ PreCalculus Curriculum Bundle includes this resource ______________________________________________________ ⇒ Please click here to follow my TpT store to hear about my freebies, sales, and new products.

Do you have students who need some movement after they have finished working or just need a brain break activity? Sudoku is your answer! I have always loved Sudoku because it deals with numbers but it doesn't involve math. According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, Sudoku is defined as "a puzzle in which missing numbers are to be filled into a 9 by 9 grid of squares which are subdivided into 3 by 3 boxes so that every row, every column, and every box contains the numbers 1 through 9". I tell my students they are using deductive reasoning to complete the puzzle. When I tell them there is no math involved they are game to play! This post contains affiliate links. Here is how you can make your own giant Interactive Sudoku Bulletin Board for your classroom. Click here to purchase the kit. CLICK HERE to see some teacher shared pictures of how they have used this resource to fit their classroom! Step 1: Print numbers one through nine on white paper. These will serve as your "original puzzle". These are the numbers the students will not move. Then, print numbers one through nine on colored paper. I like to print mine on nine different colors! You will then print the playing board which is a nine by nine grid. I highly recommend laminating so your board will last for years! Step 2: You'll need a way to store your extra numbers for students to grab to put on the board. I love these mini file folders to organize them on the board. Click here to get your own.(Affiliate link) I write the numbers on the tab and use double sided tape to place a number on the outside. I also laminate these folders so they will hold up to wear. I use the folders for the "original puzzle" pieces (the white numbers) and store in a quart sized baggie in my desk. Step 3: Next you'll need a way for the numbers to stick to your board. In the past I used thumb tacks on the side of the board. That board lasted four years and could have been more but this year I used Velcro Dots on the back of the numbers. I think this will last longer than the thumb tacks. Click here for the Velcro dots I used.(Affiliate link) I suggest putting the soft side on the back of the numbers and the tough side of the Velcro on the board. Step 4: Staple up your title, game instructions, and number folders. Put up the original puzzle(the white numbers) and let your students start thinking! Tips for using the board: I usually allow for this during homeroom, warm-up time, coming into or leaving the class, or other down-time. I do not allow them to get up during instruction or while working on an assignment. You can use this as a reward too! Be sure to explain and model how to place numbers on the board. Remind students that they do not move the white pieces. I do not let students hover over the board. I tell them since they can view it from their seats to get up when the time is appropriate. I do not allow more than three students at a time to be at the board. In the beginning when students are just learning I usually check that the number is correct before allowing them to place on the board. I also love having them explain how they figured out the number to put up. Click here to get the Sudoku Bulletin Board Kit for your classroom! I hope you enjoy and have fun! I'd love to see your completed board! Tag me on Instagram @activityaftermath Let me know if you have any questions! https://mailchi.mp/22581ca13ef8/activityaftermath
