Description
Introductory activity to students get comfortable interpreting the conventions and notation of algebraic expressions including: coefficients, variables, terms and exponents.
Why are there letters? Why isn't there a times sign? Why does it look like a fraction?
If you’ve taught algebra, you’ve likely heard these questions too. For many students -- particularly those with math anxiety or interrupted math educations -- the first hurdle to doing algebra, is simply reading algebra. Practice identifying and creating equivalent algebraic expression with this card sort + task card pack.
Match cards containing 2ab with 2 x a x b (and distinguish it from 2a + b), then add additional critical thinking questions to generate new equivalents, explain reasoning, or evaluate the terms.
