1. Team Math Tournament

2. Directions  The teacher will make teams of 4 or 5 then these teams will send there members to a computer to play the tournament against other members of different teams.  Students will take turns answer questions if a student get the answer wrong the other students have a chance to answer the question for points.  Once the tournament is over the team with the highest combined score will be recognized with bonus points.

3. Standards  solve one-variable linear equations with rational expressions  determine the domain of polynomial, rational, square root, exponential and logarithmic functions;  multiply two polynomials with each factor having no more than two terms.  investigate product and factoring patterns of polynomials;
