Bee-do, Bee-do, Bee-do. This is FUN way to practice graphing points. Students plot points standard coordinate plane then "connect the dots" as they go. As This worksheet takes about 30-60 minutes to complete (depending on the student) and can be used for review or sub plans.

I originally designed this activity for 7th grade students as fun way to review integers. It would also work well for an Algebra course, extra credit, or as emergency sub plans. I work a few of the problems with the students and encourage them to "do all the math" first BEFORE trying to solve the Sudoku. There is an answer bank at the bottom of the sheet which students can use to ensure that they are doing the problems correctly. When they finish all of the problems, I check their work (to en

This is a fun graphing activity that I developed as cross-curricular activity for my seventh grade students. It works well for emergency sub plans or as an introduction to graphing. The students plot a series of points on a coordinate plane (connecting the dots as they go). When they finish, they will have created a map of the United States. Once they have completed the graph, I have the label the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, Alaska (AK), and Hawaii (HI). I also have them col

Join Bilboe Baggins in his great adventure and discover the magnificent and mysterious, terrible and tremendous, chiefest and greatest of calamities, the unassessabley wealthy, mightiest of all Dragons, Lord Smaugh . . . the "King Under the Mountain." This is FUN way to practice graphing points. Students plot points standard coordinate plane then "connect the dots" and color as they go. You will be able to hear their excitement as they "discover" the dragon. You will hear comments like, "Wow,

This is a FUN factoring review that I use with my Algebra 1 classes. The worksheet includes 16 factoring problems that increase in difficulty. I've also included two designs/answer keys. This way students can work in pairs. They work the same problems, but will end up with different designs. Prior to this worksheet we cover factoring by guess & check, grouping, splitting the middle, and the box method. I include "boxes" for harder problems, but I do not require my students to use the boxes

These packets are what I use to help my Algebra 1 students review and prepare for the End of Course Assessment. Each packet contains a series roughly 15-20 questions from of the 5 core units that are tested on the Indiana ECA. The review sheets cover the following topics: - Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities - Graphing and Interpreting Linear and Non-Linear Relations - Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities - Polynomials - Quadratics and Radical Equations I pass out one packet

This is a light, fun way to introduce or review multi-step equations. I designed this activity as a lesson for a Pre-Algebra class. However, it would well as an introductory lesson for an Algebra course, a quick review, extra credit, or as emergency sub plans. I us this activity as classroom notes, calling on students to explain how to solve each of the problems. We work through the entire sheet together as a class (to ensure that ALL of my students have the correct answers) prior to solvi

Stained Glass Math is a FUN way for students to practice their multiplication skills. This worksheet includes 30 multiplication problems. Students work the problems, then write their answers in the boxes. Then, they connect pairs of matching answers. When they finish, they will discover three hidden stars. They color the three stars, then can decorate the stained glass art with any pattern they would like.

This is a fun, active "get to know you" game that gets kids up and moving around the classroom. It is a great way to learn interesting tid bits from your new students. Each student receives a personal bingo sheet. They need to move around the classroom and find students who fit the attribute in each square (ex. find someone who "speaks more than one language"). When they find a match, they have the student write their name in the square. Students may only sign a paper once. When a student ha

Students plots points and connect points in order to create a spiraling hexagons. Then color their designs to dazzling, symmetrical patterns. This activity requires a high level of precision. Precise placement of points and rules are a must! It is challenging, but your students will be rewarded with a spectacular design! Although I would not recommend this for your "first" graphing activity, it is great follow-up to either my MockingJay or USA graphs: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Prod

This is fun, easy to grade, partner activity for reviewing mean, median, mode, and range. This worksheet includes positive and negative integers. I also offer a version using only positive values. It takes my students roughly 20 minutes to complete and is ideal for class work or a sub plans. I encourage students to work in pairs. They work each problem box together, then circle their answer. After completing all 25 boxes, the write their answers at the bottom of the sheet. Then calculate the

This is a fun review of functions that I use with my Algebra 1 and Pre-Algebra classes. The worksheet includes 25 function problems that increase in difficulty. Working with function rules is all about reading and following directions. This worksheet forces students to pay attention to detail as the find function values and color their design. To help students choose their colors, I instruct them to begin with their "favorite" color (color "A"). After this, they use a color wheel to locate

This is a fun way for students to discover integer factors. It also lays a nice foundation for factoring in Algebra. I use this activity as both an introduction to integers as well a preface to factoring simple binomials. Students are given a product and sum and are asked to find the associated factors.

This is a GREAT project—I hope that you will enjoy it and us it with you classes. Several years ago I brainstormed ways to teach my students about the value of budgeting and investing. In the process, I developed this IRA project and it has become one of my favorite projects. I usually use it just before Christmas break. Traditionally this is the time we begin to discuss rates, ratios, proportions, and percents. So the project provides a nice application and helps my students to become comf

This is the first of 6 review sheets that I use with my Algebra 1 class. The sheets are designed to help my students review for the ECA (end of course assessment). This worksheet is also included in the Algebra ECA Bundle: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Algebra-1-ECA-Review-Pack-6-Week-Review-Based-on-Common-Core-Standards-1071694 The review sheets cover the following topics: - Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities - Graphing and Interpreting Linear and Non-Linear Relations

This is a fun way to learn or review solving two step equations. The packet includes both classroom notes and a soccer maze activity. Students solve each equation on a seperate sheet. Then use their solutions to navigate the maze (shading as they go). They write their answers (in order) on the blanks at the bottom of the page. Then solve the final math problem. The activity includes two checkpoints (the first sum and the final sum) to help make grading as simple as possible.
