I am a 3rd year 8th grade math teacher. I've had a unique opportunity to work with all three middle school grade levels, and I enjoy making engaging activities to use in the classroom.
Students will discover the rules associated with transformations by rotations of triangles and polygons on a coordinate grid (part of standard 8.G.3.)
The activity is started off by using a cut-out manipulative to physically rotate the quadrant in which the shape is located. Students will record the transformed coordinates and write down any patterns that they notice from the original coordinates to the transformed coordinates. As a class, rules will be established. Students will then complete
Students will complete 20 problems in which they will convert numbers into scientific notation from standard form, and numbers from standard form into scientific notation. Students will then color the sheet the colors indicated from the answer key, making this a self-checking activity.
Let your students work together to solve simple, beginner, two-column proofs. One is an algebraic equations proof and the other uses vertical angles. Your students will love to race each other! These are suited for beginners who have just been introduced to two-column proofs in Geometry.
Students will complete 32 exponent and scientific notation operation problems. Students will choose their own colors and find the answers in the geometric design, and color each section as indicated on their worksheet.
Students will convert 14 incorrectly written scientific notated numbers into their correct forms. This may be used as a gallery walk, as stations, or task cards. Student and answer sheet provided.
Students will work in pairs to draw their own figures and create a rule of which their partner will follow to draw a translated figure. This allows students to practice both of the skills associated with translations on a coordinate grid including writing and interpreting translation rules.
Students will work on a set of monomial problems. Included in this product is a set of 4 half sheet worksheets that can be used in whiteboard sleeves. Each page has a different set of problems. Answer sheet included.
Informally assess the learning of your students with this free exit ticket. Students are asked to determine which figure has the greatest volume, the rectangular prism, or the cylinder- a combination of 6th and 8th grade common core geometry standards.
1 page included - 2 (different) problems
Students will be given a linear equation in slope-intercept form. The students will complete the partially filled-in table and then graph their equation. There are four versions with an answer key AND blank template! I've used this as both a formative assessment and summative assessment in my Pre-algebra and Algebra 1 classes.
