Display these anchor charts for your students to understand how exponents and each of the exponent rules work. Included in this bundle are anchor charts for the definition of an exponent, product rule, quotient rule, power to a power rule, and the negative exponent rule. The anchor charts each include the general rule, the definition of the rule in words, and an example of why/how the rule works.

Display this anchor chart in your classroom or print it for students to have for personal use when finding the slope between two coordinate points using the slope formula.

GET TO KNOW YOU: BUNDLE! This bundle includes PDF and Google Form versions of the Student & Parent Questionnaires to give to your students and their parents at the beginning of the school year! These forms will allow you to get to know your students, their interests, hobbies, how they learn best, etc., and their parents to obtain contact information and important information about their child to help you better serve them throughout the year.

Display this anchor chart for your students to boost their understanding of what an exponent is and how it works. The anchor chart includes a visual of an exponential expression and defines the base and exponent. Also included are visual examples of how to write an exponential expression, expanded form, and standard form.

This Sequence of Transformations Activity can serve as a performance task for 8th-grade students to apply their cumulative knowledge of Rigid Transformations including Translations, Rotations, and Reflections. Students will create a pre-image of their choosing on the coordinate plane. Students will then create their sequence of transformations and apply each transformation on the coordinate plane. I required my students to include 1 translation, 1 rotation, and 1 reflection in the directions,

Display this anchor chart in your classroom or print it for students to use for personal use for solving linear equations (variables on both sides of the equal sign) with distribution and combining like terms.

Use this activity to assess your student's understanding of rational numbers by analyzing a real-world problem involving the elevation of sea creatures above and below sea level. In this activity, students are given a table of sea creatures and their elevations. Students state what type of number line suits the situation, determine what zero represents, represent each creature on a number line, find the distances between certain creatures, and determine how far a creature needs to travel to rea

Have students complete this Student Questionnaire during the first week of school so you can obtain a better sense of who they are as a person and as a student in your class. This form can be completed as an in-class assignment or sent home as a homework assignment.

Send this Parent Questionnaire home with students in the first week of school to get a better sense of your student's perspective from the parent(s)/guardian(s) perspective to better serve and help your students throughout the school year. Parents simply fill out their contact information and the preferred method they would like to be contacted. On the second page of the questionnaire, the parents provide information such as any allergies, strengths, weaknesses, study habits, goals for the scho

Display this anchor chart for your students to have a better understanding of what a like term is and how to identify when terms can be combined and when they cannot. The anchor chart includes the definition of like terms as well as an example of two like terms and two unlike terms.

Display this anchor chart for your students to have a better understanding of how the distributive property works over addition and over subtraction. Included on the anchor chart is the general rule, definition, and two examples (one over addition and one over subtraction).

Display this anchor chart for your students to understand how the power to a power rule works when raising a power to a power. The anchor chart includes the general rule when raising a power to a power, the definition of the rule in words, and an example of why/how the power to a power rule works.

Display this anchor chart for your students to understand how the negative exponent rule works when simplifying an exponential expression results in a negative exponent. The anchor chart includes the general rule when dealing with a negative exponent, the definition of the rule in words, and an example of why/how the negative exponent rule works.

Display this anchor chart for your students to understand how the quotient rule works when dividing exponential expressions. The anchor chart includes the general rule when dividing exponential expressions, the definition of the rule in words, and an example of why/how the quotient rule works.
