Description

Help your Algebra 2 and Precalculus students practice applying the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra in order to find zeros of higher-order polynomials with this printable maze. Students use the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra to identify how many zeros a polynomial has, then solve to find all real and complex solutions. The maze format gives built-in feedback as students follow the correct path from start to finish. A recording sheet and answer key are included to keep work organized and easy to check.

How It Works

Students begin at the “Start” box, solve the problem, and use their answer to find the next box in the maze. They continue through the path until they reach the finish. If an answer doesn’t appear in the maze, they know to try again. This makes the activity simple to manage and supports independent practice without extra grading.

Skills covered:

• Finding zeros of higher degree polynomials – degrees 3-5
• Applying the fundamental theorem of Algebra
• Synthetic division of polynomials

What’s Included

• 1 maze worksheet with 8 total questions, students only complete 6
• 1 recording sheet
• Complete answer key

The maze format helps students check their work as they go. They move forward only when their answer matches a box in the path, making the activity low-stress for students and low-prep for you.

Standards:

CCSS: HSA-APR.B.3

TEKS: A2.7.D, A2.7.E

VA SOL: EO.AII.1.c

Give your students meaningful practice with real and complex zeros using a maze that’s simple to print and easy to use. Add it to your cart today and save time on planning and grading.
