This is a worksheet that practices Translating Words into Math- using Operation Clue Words (included). Students should work step by step through each of the twenty problems. First, they should highlight any Clue Words within the phrase. Next, they write the operation that the clue words signify. Then, they double check the words for any 'reverse the order' Clue Words. These steps model the thought process that leads to the final expression. Finally, they write the Algebraic Expression. This

This is the classic dice game set up for the classroom! BUNCO is an exciting and fast-paced dice game for large groups. It's a great team building activity because players change partners with each round- so they should get the opportunity to work with almost everyone in the class. Partners work together rolling three dice and try to score as many points as possible before the bell rings. This game is addictive and lots of fun for all ages (as long as players can add 1, 2, 21, and 7). Fami

This file contains several options to practice beginning pre-algebra vocabulary: term, variable, constant, coefficient, expression, equation, algebraic. These notes can be used in conjunction with my Writing Algebraic Expressions Power Point. There are two options for a fill-in-the-blank version, a cut and paste version with flip open boxes, and a flip book pamphlet version that is awesome in interactive notebooks.(my favorite :))

The main skills covered are Writing Algebraic Expressions and Writing Algebraic Equations step by step with an introduction to Algebraic Vocabulary. The Power Point includes

This BOGGLE Game PowerPoint includes 30 regular BOGGLE slides (4x4) and 5 Super BOGGLE slides (5x5). The BOGGLE boards included on the slides are photographs of real BOGGLE games. I put together each BOGGLE game in order to guarantee that each game includes plenty of words of various lengths. The slides also include animated clip art as well as a point list for students to use to keep track of how many points they earn for each word. Each BOGGLE board is numbered so that I can collect the as

This is a set of 30 cards practicing Equivalent Fractions and the idea that whatever is done to the numerator must be done to the denominator. I printed them on colored card stock (so they can't be seen through) and added the answers to the back of the cards.

This is a set of 32 game cards to help students practice the skill: Writing Algebraic Expressions using Clue Words - translating words into math. When printed back to back the answers will appear on the back of the cards. 9 of the cards contain Algebraic Equations. There is also a fun editable PowerPoint with classroom friendly directions for the games. It includes directions for Quiz Quiz Trade a cooperative learning game in which student are up, moving, and walking around the room as they

This is a Quiz and a Retake Quiz assessing the skill Evaluating Algebraic Expressions without negative numbers. There is an answer key attached. (In the Retake version the variables have different values.) These quizzes are created to follow the Evaluating Algebraic Expressions PowerPoint, Notes, and Activities that are also available in my TpT store. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Middle-Grades-Life-Savers

This is a quiz and retake version of the quiz assessing the skill Writing Algebraic Expressions. It follows the Writing Algebraic Expressions Power Point which covers Pre-Algebra Vocabulary and Writing Algebraic Expressions. Other activities practicing this skill can be found in my TPT store. Answer keys are included. I encourage you to allow students to use their Clue Words list while taking this assessment. This item is also included in my Pre-Algebra Multi-Skill Bundle for Middle Grades

This is a worksheet that practices Translating Words into Math- using Operation Clue Words. In this version students are translating words into simple EQUATIONS (The equals sign and the solution are always at the end of the statement.) Students should work step by step through each of the twenty problems. First, they should draw a line separating the clue word for equal and the solution from the expression. Next, highlight any Clue Words within the phrase. Then, they write the operation tha

This is a list of Clue Words that help students write algebraic expressions and solve word problems. It includes clue words for all operations as well as hints to help students know when to reverse the order, the correct order for multiplication, and the correct order for division. Please check out my other Writing Algebraic Expressions and Writing Algebraic Equations practice worksheets that can be used to practice and perfect this skill. This item is also included in my Pre-Algebra Multi-Sk

This is a set of 35 simple task cards that students complete one at a time in a 'chain reaction'. They need to listen and pay attention to each other to watch for their turn. If they work together, there is a fun, surprise ending to the game. There are 35 task cards so some students complete more than one task. I've included the slips in color as well as in black and white.

This Bundle includes ALL of my Power Points, Skill Check Quizzes with Retakes, Game Cards with instructions, Independent Practice Worksheets and Interactive Notebook Notes, Pamphlets, & Foldables that cover Pre-Algebra Skills in one zip file. All pdfs are also included as editable Microsoft Word documents so that they can be personalized by each teacher. None of the skills included require a knowledge of Integers (negative numbers). Each skill is introduced at a beginning introductory level. I

This PowerPoint is designed to teach the Algebraic Properties of Multiplication & Addition as well as to show students how to use these properties to Simplify Expressions in a step by step introductory way. It provides notes, examples, and practice for the properties: Commutative, Associative, Zero Property of Multiplication, Identity Property (Addition Property of Zero, Multiplication Property of One). This only covers properties that have nothing to do with integers/ negative numbers. Y

This is an interactive handout for students to use when studying their pre-algebra vocabulary: variables, terms, constants, coefficients, expressions, equations, algebraic. Students match the vocabulary word with its corresponding example inside of little question flaps. This way students are able to try to remember the vocabulary word first and then check their answer by opening the flap. *This item is also included in my Pre-Algebra Mult-Skill Bundle for Middle Grades which includes the foll

This worksheet practices the skill of Combining Like Terms at an introductory/ beginning level. Students are asked to 'cut out/ apart' individual terms and physically manipulate them so that they are together and then glue them down before they then combine them. This is designed to go with my Combining Like Terms power point and other Combining Like Terms resources. It can be used with teachers who use integers/ negative numbers or when integers have not been introduced. *This item is also

This Power Point includes daily Warm-Ups, Interactive Notes, Classroom Practice Problems (to check for understanding), and directions for culminating Classroom Games/ Activities.
