Solving Multi-Step Equations and Inequalities Card Match

This activity was made to review solving multi-step equations and inequalities. The activity has 5 inequalities and 4 equations. I used it when I had math centers to review for the final exam. I printed enough sets so that the students could work as partners at the math center. I numbered the backs of the cards to match a numbered envelope in case the cards were mixed up from class to class. They may be laminated, if desired. You could ask the students to sort the cards first without giv

Experience

I taught mathematics for 19 years at urban middle and high schools in Michigan. I have taught summer bridge classes, remedial math classes, pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, pre-calculus, and geometry.

Teaching style

I vary the strategies often so that the lessons reach as many students as possible. Although I often use direct instruction for new material, I try to use student discovery and inductive reasoning as much as I can. I try to make learning fun, relevant and rewardingly successful. I use a lot of graphic organizers and other learning strategies while teaching to help scaffold the students to proficiency.

Awards & shining teacher moments

My school's "Teacher of the Month" for January 2015 Served on Instructional Leadership Team from 2011-2013

My own education history

Teaching was my third career and is by choice! I have a chemical engineering background, was a patent agent, and, now, am a secondary math teacher. I have a Masters in the Art of Teaching with an emphasis on Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. Besides my certification in math, I am also certified to teach chemistry.

Additional biographical information

I taught mathematics for 19 years in urban districts in Michigan. I have taught mathematics for 6th through 12th grades. I enjoy planning and creating activities and exercises. Usually, I create activities, worksheets, etc. because I am not able to readily find what I am looking for online or in textbooks. My students range widely in skill and knowledge within each class, so I find that I create scaffolding-type exercises as well as assignments that involve higher-ordering thinking.
