Math Equals Fun

What Is This?This back to school activity is a low-prep (for teachers), low-risk (for students) review activity–great for easing everyone back into the math classroom! These pennants are great for doubling as classroom decor and getting student work up on the walls right away. (Perfect if you're like me and have Back to School night the second week of school!) What is Included?Banners in 3 versions: names up to 10 letters, names up to 15 letters, and names up to 20 letters.A code page with each

What is this?This is one-page graphing activity that helps students learn to graph linear equations in slope-intercept form. With this engaging worksheet, students master graphing simple equations with positive slopes to prepare them to move on to more challenging equations. How I Use This:(Note: This sample is the first practice of an 8 page set. For the full set, click here.) I spend 5-10 minutes going over a few equations from the page, then release students to try it out on their own for ab

What is this?This is a multi-day activity that helps students learn to graph linear equations in slope-intercept form. With these engaging worksheets, students master graphing simple equations first before moving on to more challenging equations that tend to pop up. 8 worksheets with 8 different levels: Level 1: Positive Slopes in Quadrant 1 Level 2: Positive Slopes in All Quadrants Level 3: Zero, Undefined, and Positive Slopes in All Quadrants Level 4:

How do I use this?Task cards are a simple activity I use a ton in my 7th and 8th grade math classes with different concepts because they are so versatile! Some of my favorite activities to ue task cards with include: Print them out 4-6 to a page, cut them, and scatter them around the desk tops, then have students find and complete all 40 during class. Print them out as posters and display them around the room to get students movingAssign them as a digital activity where students write out their

What is this?In this partner practice, two students work independently to find the slope, y-intercept, and equations of linear relationships from a graph, then collaborate to check their answers. Partner A has Partner B's worksheet answers, and vice versa. There are specific instructions for each partner to not just "grade" each other's work and give the actual answers, but to help his or her partner find the source of any incorrect answers. This is a great activity to teach students how to mon

How do I use this?Task cards are a simple activity I use a ton in my 8th grade math class with different concepts because they are so versatile! Since this particular set has 50 tasks, my recommendation is to print them out 6 to a page, cut them, and scatter them around the desk tops, then have students find and complete all 50 during class. Other ideas for task cards include printing them out as posters and displaying them around the room to get students moving, or assigning them as a digital a

Graphing Systems of Equations | Walk Around Activity Task CardsSuitable for 8th grade and high school math standards, this is a set of 10 systems of equations, meant to be solved by graphing. They are formatted in task cards that lead from one to another to offer a movement option for your students as they practice. This set specifically covers No Solution and Infinite Solution type systems (about half of the problems yield these special solutions). Linear equations are written in a mix of stand

What is this?In this partner practice, two students work independently to to graph linear equations, then collaborate to check their answers. In this practice sheet, Partner A and Partner B both graph two different equations onto each coordinate plane. If they are correct, their lines will intersect at the same point. I found this to be a great asset to my linear equations unit, especially since partners didn't know right away who had made the mistake (or if both did) when they checked each othe

It's function time! One of my favorite ways to introduce function transformations to my students is to give them this activity, have them log into their Chrome books, and start exploring on the Desmos online graphing calculator. By the end of this activity, students end up with a pretty good idea of how functions are moved horizontally and vertically, what makes a function flip upside down on the graph, and how to change the sizes of functions. This was designed specifically for my Algebra 1 cl

What is this?In this partner practice, two students work independently to to find the equation of a given linear model, then collaborate to check their answers. Partner A has Partner B's worksheet answers, and vice versa. There are specific instructions for each partner to not just "grade" each other's work and give the actual answers, but to help his or her partner find the source of the incorrect answer. This is a great activity to teach students how to monitor their own work with the help of

Set includes 18 different daily warm ups, each with an answer key. This set of warmups is great for review of the Algebra 1 Common Core standards each day. I have these waiting on the students' desks when they come in, and after a set amount of time we go over the answers together, usually with several students taking turns doing the warmup under the doc cam. Depending on the pacing of the day, I may have students complete only two of the problems, or even just one if it is a complex problem.

This warmup set has 22 half sheets with accompanying answer keys, covering the Systems of Equations standards for 8th grade Common Core. These warmups are great for practicing new concepts as well as for spiraled review throughout the year. How I use them:This set of warmups is great for review of the 8th grade Common Core standards each day.

This is a textbook-type packet that I give my 8th grade math and Algebra students as homework after going over the concepts in class. Our main curriculum is Connected Math 2 which doesn't offer as much practice as I'd like. Included in this set are: 1. Student version covering the solutions of quadratic equations, how to use the discriminant to find the number of solutions, and graphing to find the solutions 2. Study Guide & Practice worksheet with fill in the blank questions about the text 3.
