Students are paired up for this activity. Each partner must solve a set of questions. The answer for each question number is the same for both partners but the problem is different. If a student gets a different answer then their partner, they must look at their work and their partner's work to determine where the mistake was made. This particular activity focuses on multiplying and dividing signed numbers.

This document has a detailed worked out example of defining the variable, writing an expression, and evaluating it for a given value. The example is followed by 5 word problems for students to attempt on their own.

This game is just like the classic game of go fish, but students must match question and answer cards. This template has game instructions and is very easy to work with. I use it for mathematics, but it could very easily be adapted to an subject. You can also view a completed game of go fish to get a better idea of what the game can be used for.

This document has students define family of functions, parent function, transformation, translation, reflection, and rotation. Then students graph two linear functions on the same coordinate plane and describe the transformation. From this, students will hopefully see how the equation of the function changes for each type of transformation. There are practice problems at the end for students to identify what transformation has occurred by looking at two equations and a graph.

This game includes student instructions. It is just like the card game go fish, but students need to match up question and answer cards. This particular game focuses on adding and subtracting integers.

This activity has students define parallel and perpendicular lines, calculate the slopes of each, and finally draw a conclusion about the slopes.

This is a worksheet I created as a review of slope-intercept form for my algebra 2 class. It has the steps of how to graph a line in slope-intercepts form, an example, and problems for students to complete.

This is a great real life application of surface area! Students will need to measure and create a net of their bedroom. Then they will create a 3D model of their bedroom using the scale of 1 inch to 3 feet. Next they will calculate the surface area of their bedroom and determine what the surface area of their walls they will need to paint. Afterwards students will determine how many gallons and quarts of paint they will need to paint their bedroom. The final step if for students to research

Post all of the questions around your classroom or hallway. Have each student or group of 2-3 students choose one problem to start at. After they have solved the question, have them search for their answer. When they find the answer, that is the next problem they solve. They continue this process until they return to their original question. This scavenger hunt focuses on arithmetic and geometric sequences.

This game is just like the classic card game memory except students are trying to match equivalent decimals to fractions and vice versa.

Students cut out serval pieces and then match a trinomial to its factored form, zeros, and graph.
