This is a quiz pre-test to use before starting a unit on exponents. It includes basic information on powers and a few questions on the first exponent rules, power rule and power of a power.

Practice finding the coordinates of the superhero logos on the coordinate plane. Also identify the logo for specific coordinates.

This scavenger hunt focuses on taking the product of powers to a power. I used it with my students as a review as well as a formative assessment. When done independently, it works just as well as a quiz to assess what the students know. It also allows them to move around the room while learning! My students love this activity!

This activity is leveled in the approach to solving the equations. First, the steps involved in solving the equation are provided (color coded), and students have to put them in the correct order. They also explain what was done in each step to get to the next step. Second, the students are given the steps, by this set of equations is not color coded. Third, the students are given only an equation where they have to solve, showing each step, and explain what is happening in each step. The answer

The guided notes start with the basics on identifying equivalent fractions. Then the notes go over finding equivalent fractions.

I made this quiz for the fraction unit I did with my students. It focuses on equivalent fractions with shaded shapes and just fractions. This is a black and white version to make it easier to print. There is also a colored version available.

Equivalent fraction guided noted and quiz all in one place! There's also the Identifying Fractions Quiz.

This is a coloring activity to review the different laws of exponents: power rule, power of a power, product of a power, quotient rule, and negative exponent rule..

This scavenger hunt is a great independent practice using translations. It combines the graph (visual), description (words), and rule for each translation. How to complete scavenger hunt:Identify the answer to the current question (blue)Find the answer to the current question on the bottom of another question (red)Identify the answer to the new/next question (blue)Continue until the answer is on the original question (red)

This activity involves identifying like terms. Students highlight or color boxes that are like terms. When completed, it forms a picture. Activity #2 is a medium level because it has more terms than Activity #1, but fewer than Activity #3. I also created a version of this as a Google Slides file and gave my students the choice of which one to complete.

This activity involves identifying like terms. Students move the colored boxes over the terms that are like terms. When completed, it forms a picture. Activity #2 is a medium level because it has more terms than Activity #1, but fewer than Activity #3. I also created a version of this as a Google Doc file and gave my students the choice of which one to complete.

I used the expression squares to make flash cards. The flash cards can be used for a number of activities: a matching game to identify expressions with the same base, a memory matching game, a partner activity to combine the expressions. Students each have several of the flash cards as their deck of cards. With a partner, they combine their expressions to create a new expression. They then have to simplify the team expression to find the final answer with only one exponent. This is a great activ

Students simplify each expression by combining like terms and find the matching card. There is an optional slide to have students pick one of the expressions not matched and explain the steps used to simplify it. This practices their math vocabulary. The answer key is provided on the last slide, and will need to be removed before sharing with students.

This activity involves identifying like terms. Students highlight or color boxes that are like terms. When completed, it forms a picture. Activity #3 is higher level because it has more terms than Activity #1 and Activity #2.

This scavenger hunt focuses on dividing exponents. I used it with my students as a review as well as a formative assessment. When done independently, it works just as well as a quiz to assess what the students know. It also allows them to move around the room while learning! My students love this activity!

This scavenger hunt focuses on dividing numbers written in scientific notation. I used it with my students as a review as well as a formative assessment. When done independently, it works just as well as a quiz to assess what the students know. It also allows them to move around the room while learning! My students love this activity!

This activity involves identifying like terms. Students highlight or color boxes that are like terms. When completed, it forms a picture. Activity #1 is the lower level because it has less terms than Activity #2 and Activity #3.

This can be used as a lesson review or as a small quiz over the commutative property of addition and multiplication. There are 10 questions involving identifying the property and finding the value of the missing number.
