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.

Give and Take Real Number System

(0)
This is a trivia style game where students answer questions about ordering, classifying and comparing real numbers. You will place the students into teams and then show the questions, one at a time. I ask the team to collaborate on an answer, write on a whiteboard and then show all at once. Teams with the correct answer will either give or take the points from another team. This will keep all teams engaged with the extra strategy involved. Worksheets for students to show their work will increase accountability.
Chain Reaction One Step Equations

Chain Reaction One Step Equations

(0)
Students solve one step one variable equations in this activity. There are 9 triangles that form a chain. Students begin with the triangle marked "start" and then solve the equations in the center of the triangle. When students have that answer, they match to the top of another triangle and then continue solving and matching until all triangles are matched. Then glue or tape the triangles in order to form a long chain. The answer key includes the solutions (the letter on each triangle will spell a word or phrase for easy checking). I print these on colored paper and it makes a lovely bulletin board display.

Corner Collaboration--Evaluating Functions

Corner Collaboration--Evaluating Functions

(0)
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 evaluate the given function with the given value. There are 7 problems on each sheet. 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.

Systems Station Quest

(0)
This is a wonderful collaborative activity to practice solving systems of equations in word problem form. Groups will work together to read the problem and solve the system. Correct groups receive a piece of the 9 piece puzzle. When all 9 stations have been solved, groups will solve the additional system printed on the puzzle and finish the quest! Groups will solve 9 word problems and one written problem on the 9 piece puzzle helping to improve their math skills. Additional differention strategies are included. Teacher can print the optional equations list by station to start struggling learners with equations to choose from. Or teacher can print the entire list of equations for the activity for students. This works great to get students to work at decoding word problems and talking about math.
