Common Core Aligned Math

A visual representation for key math vocabulary ranging from 6th grade through 9th grade. 50 pages with 300+ words!!! Students feel smart using fancy words, and they can really understand the meaning through the visual representation! This can be used in multiple ways in the classroom: -Print out poster-size for classroom! -Flashcards for activities / graphic organizers / games! -Visual word wall!

Students have the chance to feel super smart when they are able to come to their own conclusion about math rules!! In this recommended paired activity, students explore by using the calculator and deductive reasoning what the rules of exponents are. THEY come up with the rules and THEY come to their own conclusion! My experience is that students have a lot of fun with this and feel really accomplished when they figure it out!

This guided notes takes students through what a system means, and what a solution is for a system of equation. They are given plenty of examples for copy-me-teach and are able to do independent work, as well. This guided notes also encourages the student to check the solution with algebra.

This graphic organizer illustrates that a function can be represented graphically, as a word problem, as an equation, and table. My experience is that this is very helpful for students to make a connection between each of these forms to truly understand what a function is and what it can represent! I recommend using this as an exploration activity for students to come to their own conclusions--can work in pairs!
