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 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

Pythagorean Theorem, Special Right Triangles, Trigonometry

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.
