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:

What is this?Walk Around Activities are activities I use a ton in my 7th and 8th grade math classes with different concepts. Simply print out the posters (laminate if desired) and place around the room. Students can start at any poster, or the teacher can assign each student a starting point. Activity instructions: Have students pick one card to start with. (Spread them out amongst the cards so they don’t get bunched up at one.) They will ignore the answer on their first card and go straight to

Task cards are an activity I use a ton in my 8th grade math class with different concepts - and these scientific notation focused task cards are so fun to use as an escape room type activity. In this one, students practice all operations- adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing- with numbers in scientific notation, picking up codes along the way to give the vibe of an escape room. These task cards can also be used easily for distance learning by posting on your LMS of choice. For classroo

It's everyone's favorite whodunit mystery game! In this round, students will practice their skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing expressions in scientific operations, in order to eliminate suspects, locations, and weapons and ultimately figure out the who, what, and where of this fictional murder. How I play with my 8th graders: Students work out problems on a separate piece of paper. Once they find the answer, they look for it on the poster and then cross off the suspect,

Say the word 'Bingo' and kids of all ages go crazy. At least, my 8th graders do! We play a lot of Bingo in different ways as part of our math practice routine. Sometimes we play as a whole class, but often we play independently so everyone can work at their own speed. Practicing solving systems is one of those perfect topics for independent Bingo! How to prep and play: 1) Print all 12 problem cards as many times as necessary to ensure each student can have 2-3 problems to themselves at a time. (

My 8th graders need a lot of practice when it comes to graphing linear equations, and I've found task cards to be one of the activities that gets them to really spend time on this concept. This set of task cards has 16 different systems that should be graphed to solve. Some equations are in slope-intercept form and some are in standard form, for a good mix of practice with both. All systems have one solution; there are no infinite solutions or no solutions in this mix. There are several ways

This set of warmups is great for review of the 8th grade 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 set has 10 warmups with accompanying answer keys.
