This Card sort activity will give students a structure for meaningful math talk. Assigning this activity to a group of two or three allows students to explain their reasoning and assess the reasoning of others. I print the cards out on colored stock paper. Have students cut them out. You may laminate them for subsequent use. I suggest students take turns matching the cards. As they place the card, they should explain why they have matched it with the given card. Select the cards to use depending

This activity provided for differentiation for students based on abilities. Given an equation, the students will find it's correct slope intercept form, slope, x and y intercepts, and graph. This activity appeals to all the learning styles especially if students work in small groups. See the preview for more details.
