Properties of Exponents-Matching Activity "What breed is my favorite dog or cat?"

(0)
This fun matching activity allows students to practice applying the exponent rules to 12 challenging expression. The properties of exponents included are: multiplying with same base dividing with same base negative exponents power to a power zero exponents There are given twelve “tickets/cards” each with the face of a cartoon hero – a boy or a girl. The hero „says“ his/her name and „ask“ the student to simplify a given expression, then to use the answer to find what breed is his/her (the hero’s ) favorite dog or cat. Students have one sheet with the pictures of twelve different breeds of dogs and another sheet with the pictures of twelve different breeds of cats. There is an expression corresponding to each picture. 12 of these corresponding to the pictures expressions are the answers. Thus students using the pictures and their answers can find what breed is the favorite dog or cat to each of the twelve cartoon heroes. Students can work in groups of 2 or/and 3. Student recording sheet and answer keys are included. Note: You will need paper size A4 to print this document.

Linear Systems with 3 Variables "What Kind of Penguin is This?" Activity

(0)
This is an engaging and fun penguin themed activity on solving systems of linear equations with three variables. On each slide/page students are given a system to solve, a picture of a penguin and a hint - one sentence that is information about the penguin. Students have to solve the problem and use their answer to find out what kind of penguin is this. They search for their answer in a table where there is a name of a kind of penguin corresponding to each answer. Students can record the number of the problem (that is also the number of the penguin) in the table in the row where is written the answer of the problem. There are 8 slides/pages (8 problems and 8 types of penguins). The problems are 4 pairs of systems that have the same values for the variables x and y and different values for the variable z so students have to be more careful when searching for the answers in the table. The product can be used as independent/class practice, extra practice, partner activity (as example while partner A solves problem 2, partner B will solve problem 3 - partners will get similar answers, the values of x and y will be the same and the difference will be only in the value of the variable z),etc Answer key is contained at the end of this document.
