Hello teachers friends! My name is Niki.I have been teaching mathematics for over 20 years. My subjects are Algebra through Calculus 3 along with Geometry, Trig and Differential Equations. My passion is to create engaging fun and rigorous math resources of high quality for teachers and students. My products include partner and group activities, matching and sorting activities, multiple-choice games, rigorous worksheets & lessons, challenging independent practice, homework assignments, etc.
This is an engaging activity on multiplying polynomials. Students are given 2 pages/slides with 16 problems - 4 levels as there are 4 problems for each level. Each problem correctly solved gives points (problem of level 1 gives 1 point, level 2 problem - 1.5 points, level 3 problem - 2 points and level 4 problem - 3 points). So students try to get as many points as they can. There are 4 pages/slides included where students can build the answer of each problem using monomials given.
This activity can be completed individually (maximum efforts) or students can work in groups of 2 or 4. If students work in pairs there will be two problems of each level for each partner to solve (optimum pressure). If students work in groups of four there will be only one problem of each level for each member of the group (minimum pressure). This activity can also be turned to competition between groups (which group will finish first or will get maximum points).
Answer keys are included.
NOTE: This product is created as a Google Slides product. I have converted it to PDF item here. I have included 2 PDF files - the one has each slide as a page and the other has two or three slides on a page for easy and more economic printing!
