One set of cards has verbal expressions. The other set has algebraic expressions. Students take turns trying to find matches. They can also read the verbal cards aloud to each other and see if they can write the expression algebraically.
This activity consists of 6 half sheets of paper. each student is given a sheet with a table with 3 columns: algebraic expressions, verbal expressions, and names. For each algebraic expression on their table, they have to find another student with a matching verbal expression and vice versa. When they find a match, they complete that section of the table, including writing the name of the student who they matched with. It is set up so that each student will have one and only one match will a tab
This lab is a series of questions that will reinforce the students' understanding of graphing linear equations as well as guide the students to an understanding of horizontal and vertical lines. Prerequisites: graphing by intercepts, graphing by slope-intercept form
I use this activity to introduce horizontal and vertical lines, but it can also be used to reinforce the concept.
A good follow-up lesson is to have the students recreate a Mondrian painting, which uses only vertical and horizontal
Students will be given data that represents information that a professional actuary might use. The students will have to translate each set of data into a two-variable equation. The next step will be for the students to set two of the equations equal to each other, in order to answer a question regarding when two particular variables will be equal. The students will be asked to analyze the results to determine its validity and its usefulness to the company that hired them. The rubric and instruc

Whole Group: guided notes (free powerpoint presenation)
Cooperative small groups: hands-on activity exploring which rotations and reflections work for given polygons; organize information into a table
Whole Group: share with class to complete tables
Individual Practice: worksheet related to discoveries (Think-Pair-Share)
This handout goes along with my $1.00 product titled "Commutative, Associative, and Distributive Properties Notes" Which includes examples of how to use the properties to make mental math simpler.
This handout goes along with my $1 powerpoint product titled "Algebraic and Verbal Expressions Table and Examples" which fills in the table with the students and walks them through examples of translating verbal expressions into algebraic expressions.

Teaching style
1) Whole group to introduce the big idea
2) Cooperative learning activity
3) Independent practice
4) Writing activities (I'm a huge believer in writing across curriculum.)
5) Assessment
6) rinse and repeat; 3-tiered instruction; extension activities whenever possible

As I am working more and more with lower grades in my current position as a technology integration coach, I am trying my hand at creating instructional units for all grades. Constructive feedback is highly appreciated.
