One-Page Math

Students will use all 3 methods, graphing, substitution, and elimination, to solve 4 different systems. This helps students see that the three methods work to solve systems, but they can start to look for patterns of which is best to use.

Students will sort pairs of triangles into groups: congruent by SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, or not enough information. Once they have their 5 piles they must unscramble the cards to spell out the "code words". Keys are included. Set up: I printed the cards on white and yellow paper, cut them out, crumpled them up, and put them in popcorn containers (look at preview photo). Can also just be used as a card sort. Cards are NOT in order on the handouts so students can cut them apart and match them on their

Students will cut out 12 graphs and put them in order based on the directions. They will need to know how to translate, reflect, and rotate an image around the coordinate plane. I have created 2 versions and included both answer keys.

Students will be given equations and asked to find the slope of a line that is either parallel or perpendicular to the line given. They will mark off their answer on their bingo card. First to connect 5 squares vertically, horizontally or diagonally wins! Equations are given in slope-intercept, point-slope, and standard form.

Teacher will read basic circle vocabulary words and students will mark the diagram that represents the word. Most words are represented twice. The first time those words are used, students will choose which diagram to mark. This ensures a variety of possible "bingos" in each game.

Students will use their knowledge of medians and centroids to find missing lengths. Some problems will require solving algebraically.

16 problems to get your kids practicing dividing expressions and using exponent rules! Students get two pieces of paper (I usually print one on a different color). They will simplify all 16 problems and then cut them out. Each problem will be glued on top of its answer on the other sheet. There are three versions available. Keys included.

Students will apply translations to 12 figures in total. Each new image should be colored green because when they are done, the new images should form two sea turtles! Preview image is a "key" so you know what the turtles should look like.

Students will graph equations in slope-intercept form. Each line graphed will pass through one letter which students use to answer the riddle "Why do bees have sticky hair?"

Perfect for students just learning about unit conversion! Students cut out cards and place them face down on desk. Students take turns selecting a card and converting the distance shown. All units will be converted to feet and added together until a student reaches the top of Everest! Units to be converted include inches, yards, kilometers, centimeters, and miles.

Students will practice solving systems of equations using all 3 methods as well as writing systems of equations for word problems. The teacher will hang up all 24 problems and students will choose 4 of each type to complete on their sheet. I recommend printing each type (substitution, elimination, etc.) on a different color and hanging them in a separate location in your classroom.

Students will solve 15 intro to right triangle trig problems and then sort them based on the trig function that was used. Inverse functions are used as well. I had students work in pairs or small teams and divide the cards amongst the team members.

Students will illustrate and create story graphs for a mini book about the three little pigs. There are three story graphs in total. Students are told what to graph, but x and y axis are not labeled.

This activity contains 16 total review problems for solving systems of linear equations. 4 graphing, 2 multiple choice, 6 solve using the method of your choice (3 set up for substitution and 3 for elimination) and 4 application problems involving busses and vans. I print these problems on white and yellow paper. After cutting them apart, I crumple up the problems to look like popcorn and present them to each group in a popcorn container. I use this with groups of 3-4 students.

Students will practice factoring trinomials with a>1, the difference of squares, and factoring by grouping. Student worksheet and answer key are included.

Students will get fun fraction practice by making fractions out of their birthday! Once they have their fraction they will practice comparing, adding, subtracting and multiplying fractions using birthday fractions from their classmates! You will need to walk around and supervise since there is no answer key.

Students will use the slope formula to calculate the slope from two points. Their answer will lead them to the next set of points that they will solve.
