This product allows students to complete a 30 item sort on missing variables and 2-step operations. This includes a lesson plan and the actual sort worksheet, as well as an optional task card format. The algebra task cards would make a great work station or center activity. This product is aligned with the Common Core Standards (CCS) and can be used to allow students to balance equations and practice finding the missing number.
I used this activity this past week and the kids loved it. I had them work in partners and the cooperation was amazing to see. Thank you for a great classroom resource!
Hi Ashleigh,
I had just purchased your common core assessment sheets for grade 3 and 4. But now I am on a hunt for a fun algebra activity. I saw your algebra sorting activity but in the preview the directions aren't clear. What is the task? I see the cards and an answer key?
I've been teaching for 8 years and think I have the best job in the world! I've taught 3rd and 4th grades and love developing curriculum and activities for my students.
