Foldable Graphic Organizer for Pythagorean Theorem - reviews actual theorem, how to find the hypotenuse, how to find the leg, and Pythagorean converse and common triples

Students will demonstrate understanding of simplifying exponents, monomials, and radicals using a puzzle activity. Recommendations: Use as a 2-3 person group activity; allow 15-30 minutes depending on student skills level.

partner worksheet using knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem and coordinate planes to determine the shortest distance between two points

Great review activity for identifying simple exponent rules. Uses both numbers and variables to match dominoes.

Graph by Substitution; Difficulty Level - Introductory. Help Little Red Riding Hood collect goods on the way to Grandmother's house.

Guided notes for an introduction to geometric transformations: translations, reflections, rotations, and tessellations. I use online videos to introduce these rigid transformations and have students fill in the graphic organizer. Great for a think-pair-share activity to introduce the concepts.

Students explore how to combine like terms using several strategies to identify whether terms are like. Discussion should follow this activity as to why students grouped certain variables together.

Review activity that requires students to use knowledge of area, perimeter, fractions, decimals, and percents. Students play in groups of two or three battling to conquer the most land in Fractonia (pronounced Frac-tone-ea). Dice are required for this activity. Great activity that can be easily leveled and varied based on student need and/or understanding.

Partition a line segment using points on the coordinate plane and either by applying the formula for partitioning or by graphing.

Students will determine if two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. If the lines are not parallel, they will use systems of equations to find the point of intersection.

Partition a line segment using a graph. Introduction to partitioning a line segment.

Foldable activity matching rules of exponents with examples of expressions and the simplified expression. Can be used as a scaffolding and/or exploration activity or to cement the rules of exponents.
