Includes 5 different activities that support student understanding of classifying, comparing and ordering real numbers. Students work in groups/pairs to sort numbers into rational and irrational. Once they finish, they then sort all the rational numbers into subsets. Check their understanding by using the enclosed exit ticket. Additional activities include ordering real numbers, placing real numbers on a number line and playing a game in pairs called partner pile-up. Also included is a graphic for recording sets of numbers in a size perfect for interactive notebooks and sorting pockets for students to keep examples of each number. Answer keys are included as well as detailed instructions on what to print for each activity.

Students practice applying the rules of exponents with these 2 decks of cards. There are 2 complete decks each containing 96 cards. In each deck 48 cards have algebraic expressions using different rules of exponents and 48 cards with simplified answers. Deck 2 is a little more challenging, allowing teachers to differentiate in the classroom between struggling and more advanced students. Answer keys are included for both decks. Bongo is a bingo type game played with decks of cards. It is a great activity for groups of 2-6 students. Cards are with problems or answers (but not both) are shuffled and each student is dealt 6 cards. Players turn their cards face up in front of them. Then the other deck is used to turn up one card at a time. If the student has a match, they turn it face down. When all cards are turned face down, yell BONGO. This purchase is for one teacher only.

Students practice using the midpoint formula in two of these puzzles and the distance formula in the other two puzzles. Puzzles have 2 levels for differentiation in the classroom and answer keys are included for all. In the simpler level, the outside edges are blank, so if students are having difficulty, have them arrange the pieces so the blank sides are on the outside. In the more challenging level, the edges have additional problems/answers in the border to make solving a little more difficult. Set includes 4 different puzzles with 2 different levels of difficulty for students to practice using midpoint and distance formulas. You can use the puzzles on different days, at stations or give the struggling students the simpler variation. I keep a puzzle or two on my table for students who finish early. This purchase is for one teacher only. Additional teachers must purchase their own license. You may not upload this resource to the internet in any form.

Students practice adding and subtracting integers and decimals in these pyramids. There are 6 different pyramids in total--3 with integers and 3 with decimals, with different levels of skill and/or logic needed to solve. In level 1 students have the entire bottom level of the pyramid filled in and need to add the 2 adjacent blocks to get the sum which is placed on the block on top of it. In level 2, students have the block on the left side completed and need to scale up and down to complete the entire pyramid. In the most challenging level, students have scattered blocks and use their logic skills to fill in the missing blocks.

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. Answer Key.

Great collaborative resource to have students practice the order of operations. Students can work in pairs (trios will work as well), one person completes A and the second person completes B and then compares answers. Problems are different, but answers are the same. Self - checking--when students have the same answer they know they are correct, but different answers mean they need to go back and check for their mistake. When students are stumped, one person visits another pair, gets help and is responsible for sharing the solution and all the steps with the partner. Encourages discource in the classroom as they practice this important skill.

18 pairs of matching cards included, on one side is the numeric expression and on the other, the simplified answer. Intended for practice using order of operations but can also be used to reinforce integer operations. There are many uses for these cards, use for single student or in small groups/pairs. Use in math centers, or as practice for early finishers. More uses described in my free resource: Ways to use matching cards. Order of Operations is a vital skill for success in higher mathematics, so

18 pairs of matching cards to practice simplifying radicals in the classroom. One half the cards has a radical and the other half show the simplified answer. Great for centers or practice for students who need a little extra help. I use in pairs or small groups and have students work together to match up and discuss their approach to finding the solutions. Promotes discourse in the classroom as well as encourages problem solving from multiple perspectives.

Students practice finding the exterior angle of a triangle by setting up an algebraic equation and solving for x, then using that value of x to find the measure of the angle. Great extention activity for students who need a little challenge. 18 pairs of matching cards- one half the cards has a detailed diagram of a triangle with the angle measurement desired and the other half of the cards have a measurement. Students can work in pairs, small groups to match up and explain their answers to each other. Bonus pages: For students who need a little help, or as an introduction to the more difficult activity students have a set of 10 matching cards where students just need to solve for x to match up cards. Half the cards have the diagram and the other half have the x value. Great for differentiating in the classroom.

Corner Collaboration is a Kagan strategy also called 4 Corners where students work in their home group to solve problems and then at teacher signal, go to pre determined corners to compare answers with a new group and get a different perspective on solving problems. In this activity, students will find 2 sides of special right triangles: both 45-45-90 right triangles and 30-60-90 right triangles. Students will use formulas to find those missing sides lengths. There are 4 different worksheets with 6 problems each. Each group will get a different version of the worksheet as identified by a musical symbol. I allow about 15-20 minutes for the students to complete (your class may need more) and then when the timer goes off, students go to the corner with the symbol matching their sheet. They can compare answers and discuss any errors. When the timer goes off again, we meet as a group to discuss any difficult or confusing problems, and this gives me an idea to reteach or move on. Great for promoting discourse in the classroom.

Corner Collaboration is a Kagan strategy also called 4 Corners where students work in their home group to solve problems and then at teacher signal, go to pre determined corners to compare answers with a new group and get a different perspective on solving problems.
