Calculus - Limits Card Sort Activity
A pairs / small group activity for students to practice what they know about limits.
Each group gets a formula for a piecewise-defined function and 18 cards. They must determine which six cards are true for their function. As an extension, groups who finish can be assigned a set of six of the remaining cards and create a function that has those properties.
The file contains detailed instructions as well as an answer key. Each card has a letter written on it, which allows teachers to quickly

Graphing Polynomials- Matching Cards
18 polynomials (most in factored form, only 3 in standard form) are given as well as the corresponding 18 graphs. I print these on card stock and make enough copies for each table of four to match them. Or you could pass the 36 cards out and have students find their match in the class.
These allow students to practice end behavior rules and identifying the solutions.

Trig Trio Match Up Game
Students play a matching game where they have to find three cards that make a trig equation from the first quadrant.
One card is the trig function (sine, cosine, tangent), another is the angle (30, 45, 60 or radian equivalents), and the last is the trig value. For example, a trio would look like Sin 30 = 1/2.
Once three cards are taken from the board, they are replaced and play continues. Students must also write down their trig equation.
