Rational Root Theorem Worksheet
Identify possible rational zeros and test candidates to find polynomial roots.
-
Descartes’ Rule of Signs Worksheet
Use sign changes to determine the possible numbers of positive and negative real zeros.
-
Complex Zeros of Polynomial Functions
Explore nonreal complex zeros and their relationship to polynomial factors and degree.
-
Polynomial Inequalities Worksheet

Diagnostic, Review & Applications
-
Polynomial Skills Diagnostic Test
Check your polynomial skills and identify which topics need more practice.
-
Polynomial Error Analysis Worksheet
Find mistakes in worked solutions, explain what went wrong, and correct the reasoning.
-
Open-Top Box Polynomial Project
Build a volume model from a flat sheet and evaluate a box design against practical constraints.
Choosing Where to Start
For foundational practice, begin with polynomial operations, then move to factoring and division. For polynomial functions, start with graphing and use the matching or multiple representations activities to connect equations with their features.
Continue with zeros and inequalities as those topics appear in your course. For mixed review, use the diagnostic test to choose your next topic, or apply several skills in the open-top box project.
About These Resources
These resources support Algebra I and Algebra II classroom lessons, tutoring, and independent practice. The collection includes printable worksheets, answer keys, teaching guides, and activities. Individual resource pages explain the skills covered and the available materials. I built these resources from the problem types and mistakes I encountered while tutoring Algebra I and Algebra II students, and I check the answer keys before publishing them.
