Students practice finding the percentage change in this matching activity to use in a variety of ways. The set includes 1 deck of 18 pairs of cards, one side with two numbers with the other side having the percentage change of those numbers. Great practice and great for differentiation for students. Cut apart and use for a single student or pair of students or use as a station/group activity. You can also use these cards as a ticket in the door or ticket out the door. Additional uses for these cards are explained in the directions or download my free resource.

Students practice finding slope from 2 points in pairs by playing Connect Four. Each pair of students needs a pair of dice (I use the big foam dice for fun) and a student rolls the dice to determine the row and column of the problem they work. When the problem is completed on the included student worksheet, the partner checks the work and if it is correct the student marks the game sheet, if not the partner gets the square. Play continues until one student has 4 in a row. Students love playing games and throwing dice, so this gives them the opportunity to do both while practicing the valuable skill of finding slope. You can laminate the game sheets for extra use or print extras. 3 different game sheets included with answer keys. 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. If you are interested in purchasing several licenses, please contact me for a district-wide quote at bluemountainmath

Students practice simplifying fractions in these 4 puzzles. In two of the puzzles, equivalent fractions have fewer factors and simplify to common fractions up to tenths. More difficult puzzles have many factors and simplify to fifteenths and larger. 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 simplifying fractions and identifying equivalent fractions. You can use the puzzles on different days, at stations or give the struggling students the simpler variation.

Students practice converting from standard notation to scientific notation in 3 of these mazes and from scientific notation to standard notation in the other three. This is a fun way to practice a skill and keeps students engaged at the same time. I have students use a colored pencil to trace their path and show their work. If they make a mistake, I have them use a different color to continue their work. This way we can see the points of confusion and help clarify. Great for sub work, extra practice at home or use for early finishers as well. I keep several types of mazes available for students as a spiral practice. Works in stations as well.

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. Additional teachers must purchase their own license. You may not upload this resource to the internet in any form.

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 adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions in these 4 puzzles. Each puzzle highlights one of the operations. Puzzles are all a basic level, where the outside edges are bland. Each 16 piece puzzle is coded with a letter to easily check the solution on the included answer keys. The puzzles create a 4 x 4 square which finishes at 9 inches. You can use the puzzles on different days, at stations or even give cut pieces to students to put together at home. Since the puzzles finish at a slightly larger square they will just fit construction paper and need to taped/glued together once the teacher has checked the solution. I find tape easier for students. Makes a wonderful display on your bulletin board.

Students practice factoring quadratics and/or multiplying binomials in all 4 puzzles in this set. 2 of the puzzles have the leading coefficient at 1 and the other two puzzles have a leading coefficient greater than 1. There are 2 different levels of puzzles with answer keys 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. You can use the puzzles on different days, at stations or give the struggling students the simpler variation while more advanced students get a challenge with level 2 puzzles.

Set includes 4 different cut and paste puzzles which students cut apart and reassemble--matching one step equation on one side to a solution on another piece. Two different levels of puzzle included. The easy level has borders which are blank, while the more challenging level has several distracting equations/answers around the border edges. Answer keys to all 4 puzzles included. Students work in groups or with a partner to complete rectangular puzzle and glue or tape together. Great way for students to engage in conversation about solving and matching to answers.

Students practice reviewing the graphs, equations, vertex, minimums of quadratic equations.. The 12 problem pages are posted either around the room or in stations. Students work in groups and can start at any place, once they solve the problem, they are directed to the next page to go. Students with an error find they they have been misdirected to the wrong place and work together to find their mistake and get back on track. This is an active classroom activity that gets students moving and talking. Teacher can check individual answer sheets or play a stand up/sit down game once students are finished. Teacher calls out one of the answers and students find it on their answer sheet and then teacher calls out the next answer. Students who have this answer remain standing, if not they sit down. This gives teacher feedback on which problems gave the most difficulty. Answer key is included as well as student worksheet to show their work.

Students write equations of circles given the center and radius in this matching card activity. One half of the 18 pairs of matching cards has a center of a circle and the radius and the other half has the equations of circles. Students work individually, in pairs or small groups to match the cards. You can also use the activity as a warm up, competition, ticket in the door or out the door or in one of the other activities described in my free resource.

Students practice solving two step equation in this activity. 3 single chains each with 9 triangles and 1 double chain with 18 triangles included in file. Students work individually or in pairs: Each begins with the triangle marked "start", solves the equation and looks for the answer on the top of another triangle. Triangles are glued or taped together. This continues until all triangles are attached together in one long chain. I love seeing these with different colored paper hanging in the room, makes a lovely bulletin board display. Answer keys are included.

Students practice using the midpoint formula in a game format. Set includes 4 different sets of dominoes: 8 Dominoes, 12 Dominoes, 16 Dominoes and 24 Dominoes. The smaller sets are great for pairs or even a student who likes to work alone. The larger sets are good for groups of 3 or 4. Dominoes are cut apart, placed face down and students draw all dominoes equally. Student with "start" places the first domino and then student with the answer/problem in their hand plays the next. This continues until one student is out of dominoes and is declared the winner. I usually give 5 points per domino left in other students hands and keep a running tally. Students love playing games in the classroom and this set will give them the opportunity to practice using the midpoint formula in a fun fast paced game.

Students work to identify the discriminant of a quadratic equation then collaborate with other students to check their work and check for errors. Resource includes 4 different worksheets, each identified with a symbol. Students work in home groups to calculate the discriminat of their quadratic equations. I use a timer to keep students on task, and when timer goes off, students break up into groups in each of the 4 corners with students of same worksheet to discuss problems, compare answers and check for errors. When time is up, students return to their home groups. This is a kagan strategy which works great to increase discourse in the math classroom.
