Let's Go Math

This is a pretest based on the 8th grade skills a student should know that would impact their ability to perform well in Algebra 1. This can also be used as an end of year review or test for 8th grade.

This is the video I give to students who are absent or struggling with how to solve a system of equations while using desmos online calculator. This video is also great to just use for those students who are truly struggling with other ways to solve.

This form allows students to go around their school, town, or home to find geometric shapes. Then once they have found the shapes students will need to measure, list dimensions, solve for perimeter, and solve for area.

This is a great activity to introduce exponential decay to your students. This activity takes about 1 day and gets your students involved in the patterns of exponential decay relationships as well as introducing them to their graph and potential bonus of exponential decay functions as well.

This is a great practice assignment for students to work on applications of scale factor. This allows students to do an enlargement and reduction of themselves and their classmates. Once students complete their calculations they are going to put it to the test by making their very own action figure!

This booklet is a great tool to use during your units and identifying important vocabulary throughout the year! This can also be used as a review at the end of the year before testing or to sum up everything learned throughout the year!

Here is a simple dilations project. This is great for analyzing your students knowledge of graphing and dilations. If you provide graphs and an example this can take 1-2 days for your students to complete.

This is a great short quiz for students to demonstrate their skills on solving equations and inequalities by hand or using their calculator. This is a great way to quickly assess if your students are grasping solving while also seeing them apply multiple skills in the process.

This is great practice for students for both solving equations and inequalities. These can be used as exit tickets or general practice. I love to use these as extra practice for students who need a little extra help.

This is a great guide for students and teachers to be able to use the Ti-Nspire scatterplot tools to find the equation and graph when given a table. I love using this as a reference guide in their notebooks to always keep their steps on track.

Print on card stalk. Have students write advice for future students in your class and how to be successful. Students can decorate and design them and you can hang them in your room to start the next school year.

I love using the short practices as a teir system to get them ready for their quiz. They must complete both the solving equations and inequalities practice with an 80% or higher to attempt their quiz. This quiz can be used as bonus porints towards their next test. I have also used the short practices as an exit ticket on days that I teach the material and end the unit with an open note quiz to allow them practice for their unit test.

This is a great resource to help students keep their mental math practices sharp. I use these as a great extra credit opportunity for my students. If a students wants extra credit I give them the 4 practice sheets for them to refresh their skills. Then when they come back with the 4 sheets completed I allow them to complete a mental math quiz. I give them 5 minutes for the quiz timed and in front of me anytime they have finished their work early in class. If the student passes the quiz with an 8

This front and back half sheet can be used to help your students study test question types for the Algebra 1 STAAR. Students will go through a practice test and demonstrate knowledge and ability to find all parts of the testing platform. Students will also go through question types and demonstrate knowledge of Algebra 1 question types.

This is quick and easy mental math practice for your students. This includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

This is a great quick quiz to help your students practice their mental math. This short quiz includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

This is a great set of notes to help your students organize the steps on graphing equations by hand. This set of notes can be used to graph linear equations from any form.

This is a great set of notes to help show your students how to analyze graphs on a Ti-Nspire graphing calculator.

This is a great way to assess your students on their system of equations solving by elimination process. This assignment also has a link with a short video to help guide them if they get stuck in the process.

This is a great set of notes that always students to learn and practice different ways to solve trinomials when a=1 and when a does not equal 1.
