Precalculus Activities (by date, latest first)

This is a fun and engaging game that can be used as a review or an informal assessment of operations on rational expressions. The operations included are adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

Minimal preparation for game is needed. Just copy the board games on card stock or laminate if you plan to reuse. Will need some sort of game pieces, but these could be colored paper shapes. I suggest dice, but could use with spinners just as easily.

Answer key and blank board game is included for students to write their answers.

Activity to introduce what a function is. 14 graphs drawn and students need to use the vertical line method to determine whether they represent a function.

Students then use the horizontal line method to find the one to one functions

Leads nicely into Domain and Range no prep lesson
