Includes Rotations, Reflections, Dilations and Translations. This would be a great review sheet to use at the beginning of class or for homework. It emphasizes transforming figures by applying the rules instead of graphing. You can adapt the directions to meet the needs of your classroom. Answers included.

This activity includes 6 review stations related to operations with polynomials and classifying polynomials. Throughout this activity, students will be engaged and actively working in groups. This is a great activity to use as review the day before an assessment.

This activity is designed for students to gain practice and understanding identifying the type of answer that a system of linear equations will have (one solution, no solution, infinitely many). There are two different ways you can do this activity - both ways are included with answer keys. Perfect introducing systems of equations in 8th grade core or beyond!

This is a very simple activity to put together that not only has your students reviewing concepts but also learning important class/grade specific procedures. Additionally, it gets kids moving (which they are used to doing after a summer without classes!) and working cooperatively with one another. While I use this in my math classes, you can certainly use it for other subjects as well.

This is designed to be used as a formative assessment for students after they've learned elimination. The answers are included. I use it as a check-in in class to provide feedback, but it could be given as homework or as a quiz.

I've always found rotations to be a difficult concept to teach. This discovery allows students to examine rotations that have already been made in order to develop the rules for rotating. Answers included. When you print copies for students, make sure that they get a copy of the image page with the coordinate grid. It would be helpful to give this to them un-stapled to the discovery so they don't have to flip back and forth. This can be used as an in class discovery or could be given as hom

*Includes No Solution and All Real Numbers This activity gets all students thinking and moving in the classroom without taking that much time. It can lead to an engaged class discussion with students feeling free to ask questions and compare their problems. There is a homework assignment that can easily launch off from this activity. I’ve used this in both my Pre-Algebra and Algebra classes. This could also be used in geometry for review or Algebra II, depending on the course level.

This activity (individual or cooperative) is perfect practice for calculating slope using the slope formula. Includes the 4 types of slopes (positive, negative, zero and undefined). Easy to use with 2 options (less prep vs. more prep).

This activity allows students to independently discover how to translate a figure on the coordinate plane. This can be used as part of a lesson on transformations during an in class discovery or could be given as homework (could be use with a 'flipped' classroom approach). Answers included.

Includes 4 problems with transformations. Answer key included with suggested breakdown of points. Use this as an in-class assignment, homework, quiz, etc.. Great check-in to see how students are doing with transformations and is an opportunity to provide feedback to students.

This is great for using as a graded check-in or exit slip after learning how to add, subtract, multiply and divide radicals but prior to a quiz or a test. It is intended to give students feedback. This could also be used as an assessment.

This is an assessment on the 3 methods for solving a system (substitution, elimination and graphing). Includes answers of no solution (parallel lines) and infinitely many (the same line).

Includes simplifying, adding and subtracting radicals and the Pythagorean Theorem. Answers included. Great for Algebra 1 or Geometry class.

Use this as an in-class review assignment or a homework assignment prior to a quiz on solve systems of linear equations using graphing and substitution. You could also make this a quiz. (Contains 3 graphing problems and 4 substitution problems).

In this activity, students simplify different phrases using the properties of exponents. For example, taking their name (using the letters in their name as variables being multiplied together) and simplifying it using the rules of exponents. Students find this activity fun and a little more like a puzzle than just your typical rules of exponents problems. Great for a fun review or enrichment!

Includes dilating, reflecting, translating and rotating a triangle. Perfect for 8th Grade Common Core (8.G.A.1 standard). Answer key provided.

26 equations with 13 pairs of answers. Great activity that allows students to self-check.

This is a short quiz on solving systems with substitution and graphing (2 graphing, 5 substitution problems) . Answers included.

This activity would work well with either substitution or elimination. You could give students a choice of which method they use or you could be specific as to which method you’d like them to practice. FYI – students will sometimes be substituting equations with fractions. Since students know what the five possible answers are, they can be even more confident that they have the correct answer.
