This scaffolded worksheets helps students solidify the skill of describing a sequence of rigid transformations. The problems get gradually more complicated, ensuring that mastery of the basics is there before students approach more difficult sequences. This resource is aligned to 8.G.A.2. Enjoy!

This resource can be used as a self-directed worksheets where students use the cheat sheet to access the 8 practice problems. I typically use this as an extention for 8th graders during the scatter plots unit, or for 9th graders. An answer key is provided. Enjoy!

This project allows students to solidify the connection between large numbers and large exponents as the power on base 10. The step based project tells students exactly what to do. Before beginning the project, they must split a blank piece of paper into 5 sections. My students really enjoyed this project! Check out my Scientific Notation Bundle for more resources!

These scaffolded notes can be used for direct instruction + partner practice, for small group instruction, or as homework. Enjoy! Check out my Functions Bundle for more resources!

The personality color test is an amazing tool (not created by me) that allows teacher and student insight into the personality nuances of students. The attached document includes the test, but also includes analysis questions so students can analyze the color that they get. Colors can help teachers make homogenous and heterogenous groupings. Read the implementation guide on page 1 for successful execution. Enjoy! *Note: Preview pdf has an expired link, but the actual document has a link that wor

This two-page resource provides notes on 4 main points in addition to examples of correlation vs. causation. The notes are completed and can therefore be used as a resource for self-directed practice. The practice problems are common-core aligned and spark interesting debate among students! I have used this as partner practice as well as homework. Check out my Scatterplots Bundle for more resources!

Please do not purchase this product unless your students have access to chromebooks or some other device that allows them to connect to the internet.This engaging resource provides students scaffolded practice on all things functions: identifying functions, identifying linear vs. nonlinear functions, and comparing functions. It is great for Test Prep season! A worksheet with directions is provided. The worksheet should be used alongside this Jeopardy-like game. Students can work in partners and

This is an engaging resource that gets at the heart of dilation and scale factor. Several problems use the concept of models to intutively enforce the skills associated with dilation and scale factor. Scaffolds are provides so that every student can access these practice problems. I have used this as 7th grade extension, and 8th grade classwork as well as sub-day work. Enjoy! Here is a pdf of the answer key!

This resource provides 14 problems that mix up translating inequality phrases into writing an inequality and graphing it on a number line. I have used this as homework, partner practice, as well as independent practice. An answer key is provided. Enjoy!

This mini-project can be used as classwork or homework, as it is engaging and helps student solidify the concept of dilations with a center at the origin. The project is fun and self-directed, for it includes precise directions in the exact order students should complete them in. Students can self-differentiate by choosing logos with varied difficulty. Resource includes a key that can uploaded to google classroom so students can refer to the exemplar should they get stuck or have clarifying

This engaging and structured resource (8 sections of engaging and varied practice) can be used to teach/review calculating compound probability using the strategy of a tree diagram. The scaffolds are removed in the later sections to promote student independence. I taught this skill over two days with the following structure: Do Now (section 1 - 2)Guided Notes (section 3)Partner / Independent Practice (sections 4 - 8)However, there is flexible use! (differentiated stations, homework, small-group

This is a project intended to increase students' intuitive understanding of proportional relationships. Students are invested as they research different jobs and use those jobs to create equations, tables, and graphs of salaries over time. Students will need internet access. I have used this as an in-class project, as substitute work, as well as homework. Enjoy!

These 8 stations are designed to either introduce or review all the vocabulary related to scatterplots including linear vs non-linear, positive, negative, and no correlation, best fit line, outlier, and so on. The stations are designed for 5 - 8 minute rotations depending on the level of your class. There are a ton of application questions that help teach and remediate the skills require to access scatterplots. Since there are 8 stations, folding a blank piece of paper into 8 sections will allo

The resource includes step-by-step directions for performing a sequence of transformations on a piece of graph paper (provided by facilitator)! Pictures are included to minimize student confusion. Part 2 includes 8 analysis questions to assess students' understanding of the properties. An exemplar of those answers is provided. The resource includes a document of logo options that can be uploaded to your Google Classroom/Edmodo, in case your district has blocks on google searches. My students lov

This bundle includes a multitude of resources along with a pacing guide for a week of Sequences of Transformations. The materials are diverse and flexible. A pacing guide is included as an implementation suggestion. Enjoy!

The following lessons are included in this bundle: Lesson 1: Linear Functions Intro (Visual Patterns)Lesson 2: Calculating Slope (Triangle Strategy)Lesson 3: Graphing y = mx + bLesson 4: Writing y = mx + b from Graphs (in context)Lesson 5: Writing y = mx + b from Graphs (out of context)Lesson 6: Writing y = mx + b from a Slope & (x, y) PointLesson 7: Writing y = mx + b from 2 (x, y) PointsLesson 8: Writing y = mx + b from Visual PatternsLesson 9: Parallel and Perpendicular SlopesThe learning tar

This is an inquiry based lesson where students work together to discover which equations are linear versus non-linear. Students are given 6 equations where they graph and make a table. Afterwords, a list of linear and nonlinear equations are made, and a place to record their thoughts as well as their classmates thoughts is listed as well. After the concept is understood and stamped, students are able to practice identifying linear equations. I have used this as partner practice, group work, as w

This bundle includes 63 resources to be implemented over the course of a year to support ALL 8th graders in acquiring mastery of the CCSS. The resources are designed using research-based practices of scaffolds that are eventually released to promote student independence. I have used these resources with great success for my gen-ed students that arrive behind grade-level and my special education students who require extra support in grasping the concepts. The resources are structured to include a
