I like an active classroom where everyone is busy. If you stop in one day it will look like chaos, but it is a carefully orchestrated chaos that cleverly disguises all the learning that we are doing. I use a lot of activities -- and keep the kids moving.
Research says that if anyone sits for more than 15 minutes, their brain disengages and learning is not happening. So I design a lot of activities to get kids moving, talking, thinking and participating.

Students find solutions to linear systems using both methods of substitution and elimination. Each sheet contains 4 problems, three of which have the same answer and one is the odd man out. Students solve, identify the one with the different answer. Great way to incorporate writing in the classroom as well as discourse.
I have used these as a check for understanding after a lesson and as a warm up the following day. There are 12 different versions included, enough to double side and use each day during a unit instruction or as a review at the end of the unit. Or use the simpler versions with students who struggle and the more advanced versions with students who need a little challenge.
I demonstrate with a teaching version the first few times I use these in the classroom to model how to approach the activity and what an excellent answer might look like.
Included:
12 different versions for students.
3 different versions for teaching.

Looking for a way to build student discourse and practice calculating surface area of both rectangular and triangular prisms, increase accountability and get students more engaged? Use this Kagan strategy to have students work in cooperative learning groups to practice surface area.
⭐Students practice surface area of prisms in this collaborative activity. Students work in home groups discussing the process to find the answers and complete their worksheet, 1 of 4 variations included. Set the timer to your students needs.
⭐When the timer goes off, students meet in one of the four corners to collaborate with a new group to compare answers, correct errors and improve discourse. When timer goes off again, students rejoin their home group and whole class discusses problems and any misconceptions.
⭐Exit ticket also included to use at the end of the lesson, end of the week or as a warm up to "exit" from the lesson. 3 Different versions included, use different days or use one as the warm up for the next day.
What is included:
☀4 different students "worksheets" with 10 problems each.
☀3 Different Exit Tickets,
☀4 Page size graphics to displays in the corners
☀Complete answer keys for all.
Students will calculate measures of angles in Isosceles Triangles from the graphs in these 24 pairs of matching cards. Half the cards have the triangle and the other have have the measure. Students work individually, in pairs or small groups to match the cards.
Students need practice analyzing pictures and drawings of geometric figures and this will help them get that practice without the dreaded worksheet. Great collaborative activity to encourage students to work together and talk about math. Just print the cards and either cut yourself or have students cut. You can laminate for repeated use.
Do you have students who finish everything quickly while others are just getting started? Give them all the matching card set while removing some of the pairs for students who struggle.
Included:
☀24 pairs of matching cards

Multi-activity packet to reinforce student understanding of proportionality. Students work either independently or in pairs/groups using the enclosed sorting mat to sort graphs, equations and tables--identifying those that are proportional. Students then formulate the rule. Culminating activities (several versions) include taking a graph and matching the equation and table that matches and then writing the table/graph or equation for a problem of their own.
In my classroom, this group of activities took several days to complete. Answer Keys included for all.

Students practice finding the measures of adjacent angles in this matching activity to use in a variety of ways. Cut apart and use for a single student or pair of students. The set includes 18 pairs of matching cards—one side with diagram of angles, the other side a measure.
This is a two deck set. One deck has students solve for the correct angle measure. The other deck uses an algebraic expression for the angle measures. Students will need to write an equation from these expressions to solve for the value of x that gives the correct measure. In both sets, students will have opportunities to practice identifying angle relationships and solving for the measures.
