This post started years ago as a way to share for free the math cheat sheets I was making for my students. Since then, a bunch more have been added to this post, mainly for algebra and algebra 2, and some for younger students. Some now include links to short video tutorials.

Every math cheat sheet PDF can easily be enlarged into a large classroom poster following the directions here. Here is a quadratic keywords poster that I enlarged to 4 pages at home:

  8. Do you have any Quick Checks or Cheat Sheets on transformations of quadratics? I really liked how your Exponential Function Quick Check has it where they are comparing between the parent function and the function they are given; and your Graphing Exponential/Log Functions sheet shows them how it was transformed from the parent. Thanks for all the Freebies, they are great references/notes/exit tickets/posters for students!

  10. Love Love your word walls. I was wondering is their a wall for polynomials. It's not in Algebra 1 and I purchased? Also, is it possible to add to the slides when something is missing? thanks! You are great, if I forgot that part...

    1. Thank you for your kind words! As a coincidence, I am taking new photos of the Algebra 2 word wall today to make the virtual version and just photographed the polynomials section. It's just for sketching polynomials, so may not be what you need. But please email if there is something you had in mind.
