This is a project is designed for 8th graders to show that they can apply the Pythagorean Theorem to real world situations. Student may work alone or with partners. I usually allow about three days of in-class work time, with technology, and finish the project with students sharing their word problems with the class. I've even used some word problems with future classes. This project assesses Common Core standard 8.G.7. You will receive one page describing the project, and the second page is a

The fun worksheets helps students practice solving linear equations, while determining if there is no solution, one solution or many solutions. Some equations also include the distributive property and combining like terms. As students solve, they use their solutions to answer a riddle at the bottom of the page, turning a practice worksheet into something more fun and enjoyable!

Included are six story problems were students are required to interpret data presented in tables, graphs, equations and stories. Students will practice identifying the y-intercept and slope/rate, and answer questions to compare functions presented in various ways. Some worksheets break the questions down into a step-by-step format. Worksheets can be used for practice, review, and assessing.

The bundle provides many resources for your students to practice solving linear equations, in order to determine if each has no solution, one solution or many solutions. Students also practice solving linear equations using the distributive property and combining like terms. Bundle includes... *2 practice worksheets *3 assessment pages *Coloring activity (4 pages) *Riddle (2 pages) *Maze (2 pages)

Students must work their way through this maze, by solving linear equations to determine if each equation has no solution, one solution or many solutions. Most equations include the distributive property and combining like terms.

This worksheet contains quadratic expressions in factored form. Students can practice using the distributive property and FOIL method to write equivalent expression in expanded form. This worksheet contains positive and negative numbers.

This worksheet uses story problems and data tables to provides students practice with exponential growth, including the use of story problems and writing equations from tables of data. The worksheet could also me used as an assessment. Answer key included.

Need extra practice? A quick assessment? Here are five pages to help your students practice solving linear equations to determine if the equation has no solution, one solution or many solutions. These equations include the distributive property and combining like terms. Included in the five pages are... *Two practice worksheets - one has no negative numbers. *Three assessments - two with problems simply rearranged, and a third with no negative numbers.

This worksheet provides students practice with the rules of exponents, and could be used as an assessment. Included are two versions of the worksheet, as well as answer keys.

This game has been designed for a SmartBoard. It can be used to review the content learned in the first two investigations of the book Frogs, Fleas, and Painted Cubes. The questions can be modified to fit your needs, and the needs of your students. What a fun way to review for a test!!

28 task cards to help student review the rules of exponents. Ideal for students working in pairs. Student answer form and teacher answer key included.

Included in this bundle are the following two items: *Pythagorean Theorem Task Cards - 8.G.6 *Pythagorean Theorem Project Individually, these two items total $5.50, but are being offered as a bundle for $5. Item descriptions for each can be found in my store.

28 task cards to help student review Pythagorean Theorem. Tasks include finding the missing length of a triangle, find the missing side length from given measurements. determining if the given side lengths will create a right triangle. Ideal for students working in pairs. Student answer form and teacher answer key included.

Here is a fun worksheet for to assist your students with simplifying expressions, writing equivalent expressions by using the distributive property and combining like-terms. This task can take place early in the unit, before students are actually solving equations. Included are two versions of the worksheet, one with negative numbers and the other without. Also included are two answer keys.

The is a word document containing linear equations for students to solve. THey are multi-step problems that all result in a positive answer.

This worksheet contains quadratic expressions in factored form. Students can practice using the distributive property and FOIL method to write equivalent expression in expanded form. This worksheet contains all positive numbers.

This coloring activity is a fun way for students practice solving linear equations, while determining if the equation has no solution, one solution or many solutions. The 10 equations all include the distributive property and combining like terms. As students solve, they color shapes on a separate page, according to the coloring key provided.

This is a word document containing the vocabulary terms related to quadratic expressions. It includes an example of a quadratic expression written in factored and expanded form. It explains the Distributive Property, and details the FOIL method of distribution.

This is a word document containing the vocabulary words for Investigation 1. It includes a picture of a parabola, which could be used for labeling various parts of the graph for later investigations. For instance, x-intercepts and y-intercepts.

This is a word document containing the vocabulary words for Investigation 2. It includes an example of a quadratic equation written in factored and expanded form. It explains the Distributive Property, and details the FOIL method of distribution.
