Distributive Property & Combining Like Terms -13 Cards for 2 Partners (26 problems)

(0)
Students will simplify 26 expressions using the distributive property and combining like terms with these pumpkin alphabet themed task cards. On each slide/card students are given two similar problems to solve therefore these cards are especially suitable for two partners (working in pairs). The problems have 3 levels of difficulty: Level 1: Distribute once only (3 slides/cards) Level 2: Distribute and combine like terms (7 slides/cards) Level 3: Distribute twice and combine like terms (3 slides/cards) I have included problems where the factor in front of the brackets is a fraction and/or a decimal (the last 4 slides, more challenging problems). This resource also works well as independent practice, extra credit/practice. 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 four slides/cards on a page for easy and more economic printing!

Multiplying Radicals - "Which is my baby?" Mutliple-Choice Activity

(0)
This is a fun and engaging multiple-choice game on multiplying radicals. There are 10 pages/slides with problems as each page/slide contains two similar problems. Each problem is labeled with a large alphabet letter written on a picture of a mother penguin. Students are given four answer choices labeled with the small letters a,b,c and d each written on the picture of a baby penguin. Students solve a problem, choose an answer and write the letter of the baby penguin to its mother matching the problem with its answer. The problems increase in difficulty with each next page/slide. On the first four pages/slides students multiply two radicals, in page/slide 5 they multiply three terms, in pages/slides 6, 7 and 8 students will need to use the distributive property and FOIL and in pages/slides 9 and 10 students multiply radicals with variables in the radicands. This activity can be used as an independent practice and partner activity. If students work in pairs student A will solve the first problem of a page/slide and student B will solve the second problem of the same page/slide and because they have similar problems students can help each other with methods. The answer key is contained at the end of this document. NOTE: This product is created as a Google Slides product. I have converted it to PDF item here.
