Given polynomial side lengths, your algebra students will find areas and perimeters of rectangles while practicing polynomial multiplication and addition. Students are also asked to evaluate their expressions given a value of x. This engaging activity links what students already know about finding areas to working with polynomials.

Included inside are 10 task cards (each with 3 questions), 2 additional challenge cards that ask students to find the area/perimeter of an irregular shape and of a circle, a student answer sheet and an answer key. Also includes a link to the GOOGLE forms version of the task cards. Includes both print digital versions

Laminate cardstock for longevity. If you have more than one group, use different colors to help with clean up.

I left this activity for a substitute thinking my students would have no problem completing the 10 task cards. However, my EC students did not finish the assignment within the 90 minutes, so just a heads up to those who are considering using these task cards (which are great, by the way) you may want to differentiate for those with learning disabilities. I will use again but may put the students into groups next time. This is no fault of the creator, the task cards are great!

Thank you for your review, Megan! One idea to differentiate might be for students to complete all odd or even cards. I also like your idea of students working on the cards in groups.
