This Algebra 2 End of Year Escape Room Activity is a fun, engaging way for students to review the big ideas from the entire year in Algebra 2. Students work through 8 challenge puzzles covering radicals and complex numbers, rational expressions, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, radical, and rational equations, functions and their characteristics, and sequences and series, cracking a code with each one.
Each challenge reveals a 3-digit, 4-digit, 4-letter, or 5-letter code. Detailed directions for prepping and assembling the challenges are included, along with a student recording sheet and suggested methods for checking codes. It works great as an end of year or EOC review, and a prize is recommended for students who successfully crack all the codes!
Topics Included:
• Challenge A: Simplifying Radicals (includes expressions with rational exponents) and Complex Numbers
• Challenge B: Simplifying Rational Expressions and Complex Fractions
• Challenge C: Quadratic and Polynomial Equations
• Challenge D: Exponential and Logarithmic Equations
• Challenge E: Radical and Rational Equations
• Challenge F: Operations with Functions, Compositions of Functions
• Challenge G: Characteristics of Functions and Graphs (domain, range, end behavior, x-intercepts, y-intercept, zeros, asymptotes, etc.)
• Challenge H: Sequences and Series
How long does this activity take? The challenge puzzles are independent of each other, so challenges can be removed to save time or differentiate. If using all eight challenges, plan to use several periods (3-4) or two blocks to complete this activity.
