Geared for Georgia Desmos, this testing practice will help students master the features of Desmos to prepare for testing. Students will learn and practice the basic functions of Desmos including roots, exponents, and scientific notation. Use Desmos to solve 1-variable equations and inequalities. Graph linear functions, systems of equations, and find the equation of tables, points and scatterplots. Algebra also includes quadratic, exponential, and data analysis practice.

Students cut out and match the equation to the real world situation. Situations use the same numbers to prevent students from just matching numbers. Once equations are matched, students solve each equation and write their answers in complete sentences. This activity can be done in pairs or individually. Good for 7th grade or as a review for 8th grade solving equations unit.

Help your students discover quadratic functions through concrete representations. Begin by understanding the difference between linear and quadratic functions, then move into a general understanding of quadratics by exploring patterns with area.

Go from concrete to abstract by connecting tile patterns to linear functions and word problems. This activity can be done once students have been introduced to y-intercepts. Students must connect the equation for the tile pattern to the matching equation for the real-world situation. Encourage movement and academic discourse while connecting patterns and algebraic thinking. This activity can also be used to explore arithmetic sequences.

Help students develop a conceptual understanding of projections and dilations. Students use flashlights or phones and triangles to visualize dilations (shadows). By the end of this lesson, students will understand dilations, enlargements, reductions, scale factors, and the center of dilation.

5 lessons surrounding minimum wage and hourly wages. Increase depth of knowledge and make learning meaningful through Situational Learning. This packet connects income to Common Core Math, English, History, Technology, and Social-Emotional Learning.

Help students discover parent functions intuitively using nothing but a calculator and the points on the graphs. Encourage academic discourse as students reason about graph features, solutions, and end behavior.

Differentiated instruction- Practice simplifying exponents in teams with this interactive match game. Students get 3 expressions and 3 solutions. Students must trade solutions to get their matching simplified expression. To help differentiate, each column increases in difficulty. Column 1 (no negative exponents no more than 2 steps) to column 3 (multi-step simplifying) will help students at every level. Solutions are universal so students don't feel grouped. Sheet 3 includes variables (optional

Summary notes of independent and dependent probability. Includes exit ticket with answers.

Step by step instructions on solving multistep equations including those with variables on both sides.
