This is a 10 day CCSS aligned unit on converting fractions & decimals, solving squares, cubes, and roots, and categorizing rational & irrational numbers. This unit includes a hands on activity, SBAC Review questions, 2 quiz forms, and an answer key to all material. This material covers 8.NS.1, 8.NS.2, 8.EE.2 but also overlaps with 7th grade content.

This activity provides hands on practice for students. It keeps students engaged while also practicing their math! For whole group, each student will be given a card and they will place them into the rational or irrational category. The sorting sheet can be shown on your smart board and students will write their number into the correct category. For small group, print out and laminate a sorting mat of your choice for each group. Print and cut a set of number sheets for each group. Each group

This is a great review activity to strengthen students skills in simplifying radicals. If students take the correct path they will simplify 25 radicals. I use this in my 8th grade classroom to help students practice for radical questions on the SBAC test but it is also a great Algebra resource.

This classroom activity compels students to have fun while practicing their exponent operations. It includes 10 practice problems and a student answer worksheet. The practice problems covers negative exponents, dividing exponents, power of zero, multiplying exponents, and power to power.
