5th Grade Algebra Review Game - Game Show Style
By The M-Intercept
Students will love this Jeopardy-like review game to review all 5th Grade Operations and Algebraic Thinking standards. Questions focus on solving expressions, writing expressions, equivalent expressions, analyzing patterns, mixed review, and key vocabulary words. Points range from 100 - 500, which reflect the increase in difficulty throughout each category.
**FULLY EDITABLE** While the game is complete, it is also editable in PowerPoint, making it easy to add questions or change the level of difficulty based on your students' needs.
The game includes 30 high quality questions - 6 categories with 5 questions each ranging in
difficulty from basic review (100) to challenging (500)
⭐Solve Expressions: these questions require students to solve equations using the order of operations. All expressions are straightforward whole numbers, except the 500 point question, which has fractions.
⭐Write Expressions: this category asks students to write expressions from phrases such as "nine more than six" and then increases in difficulty to writing an expression to match a real-world problem.
⭐Equivalent Expressions: students are asked about whether or not expressions are equivalent based on the order of operations, use of parentheses and different ways to display division symbols.
⭐Analyze Patterns: these questions involve continuing a pattern such as "add 8" and continue on to questions matching real-world situations. Some questions require reading and/or using a table or the coordinate plane.
⭐Mixed Review: students are asked computation problems to review adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, as well as questions involving place value.
⭐Vocabulary: this section asks about parentheses, expressions, evaluating, x and y coordinates, and corresponding terms.

Middle School Math: Solving One Step Equations with Rational Numbers
By Geography & Math Made Easy
LESSON: ONE_STEP EQUATIONS PUZZLE GAME
GRADE LEVEL: MIDDLE SCHOOL
TIME FRAME: 1 HOUR
OBJECTIVE:
o The learner will work to solve one-step equations with rational numbers.
o The learner will solve equations that include decimals fractions, to solve for x.
MATERIALS:
o Scissors
o Zip lock bags
o Construction paper and glue
o Optional: lamination for storage and reuse. If you choose this, construction paper and glue will not be needed, as they will not glue the pieces to construction paper.
o Print out of puzzle for the instructor as an answer sheet.
PREPARATION:
Students will be working in pairs to complete the equations puzzle, which requires students to solve one-step equations with rational number. Place students in teams of two. Duplicate enough copies for each team to have one puzzle. Cut out the puzzle pieces and place them into a Ziplock bag.
Optional: You may laminate the puzzle pieces for reuse if you choose to keep the pieces to use one year to the next. However, you will not need construction paper and glue if lamination is chosen.
INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)
Ask students what constitutes an equation.
Answer: An equation says that two things are equal, and may contain two or more
variables.
Ask students what constitute a rational number.
Answer: A number that you can put into fraction such a decimal, fraction, percent or
whole number.
Review how to work through a one-step equation using the following equations:
• 5x=80 Answer (16)
• x+-20=17 Answer: (37)
• x-(-10)=-10 Answer: (-20)
• x-4 1/3=2 2/3 Answer: (7)
HELPFUL VIDEO: (10 minutes)
Helpful Youtube video links included.
TEAM ACTIVITY: (30 minutes)
Provide each team with a puzzle in a Ziplock bag. Provide students 15-30 minutes to solve the equations and place the puzzle together. You may even encourage a competition to see which groups can complete the puzzle first providing prizes to first place, second place, and third place. Once they have the puzzle completed, have them glue it to a piece of construction paper if you have not chosen to laminate the game pieces for reuse.
CLOSURE / EVALUATION: (20 minutes)
Using an overhead projector or smart board projector that will display the puzzle pieces, work with the class to solve the puzzle. Students will check their answers.
ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY/HOMEWORK
Give students a blank chart and allow them to create a puzzle for that they can give to another group/student to complete. Make sure the student keeps a copy of the puzzle to act as the answer sheet.
TEACHER’S ANSWER SHEET
Each puzzle has the answers in itself before being cut into puzzle pieces. The equations on the outer edges of the puzzle will not have answers to match. This makes the puzzle more challenging

Factoring and Substitution | Introducing Algebra Worksheets
By LittleStreams
This is the second worksheet in our Introduction to Algebra series.
This pack is filled with worksheets designed to introduce students to the idea of factoring/factorising single parentheses/brackets and simple substitution. It contains both British English and American English terminology, and each worksheet is differentiated 3 ways.
Also included are the same worksheets, but put into differentiated workbooks, so you can hand these to your students to use as homework, or an ongoing project.
The worksheets consist of the following:
Worksheet 1 Factoring Single Parentheses/Factorising Single Brackets - introduces students to factoring single parentheses. It guides students through the process.
Worksheet 2 Factoring Shapes/Factorising Shapes - reinforces factoring/factorising idea using shapes.
Worksheet 3 Expand and Factor/Factorise - reminds students of expanding parentheses/brackets before relating it to factoring.
Worksheet 4 Wordlink Factor/Factorise - is a puzzle where you connect an expression to its factored form, drawing lines through letters that reveal a famous mathematician.
Worksheet 5 Riddle Me This Factoring/Factorising - asks students to factor to find the solution to the most famous formula in mathematics.
Worksheet 6 Introducing Substitution - is a guided worksheet on substitution.
Worksheet 7 Substitution Grid - consists of substitution in a grid.
Worksheet 8 Substitution Tables - introduces the idea of substitution using x and y tables, which will be a useful skill later in algebra.
Worksheet 9 Substitution Mazes - students find the correct path by answering substitution questions. It is a multiple choice sheet.
Worksheet 10 Substitution Challenge - is a summary of substitution, including using the temperature conversion formula, and some challenging puzzles.
This is available in a bundle along side Factoring and substitution, One and Two step equations, Forming and solving Linear Equations and Sequences and nth Term. If you get the bundle, you'll also receive a free revision test and check list. (If you have purchased these individually, or bought 3 workbooks from the bundle, get in touch at littlestreams@gmail.com and we will send you the revision booklet in an email).

Comparing Linear Functions BTC Thin Slicing Group Activity | Grade 8 Math
By EZMath
This "Thin Slicing" activity on comparing linear functions gets your 8th grade students thinking about linear functions. These progressively challenging task cards start students with simple proportional relationships and progress up to writing a linear function from only two ordered pairs, graphs with differently scaled axes, and tables with minimal information. Students must work together to compare rates of change and initial values for multiple functions, including tables, graphs, equations, and scenarios.
Great as a review activity, or as an introduction to comparing linear functions after your students have learned slope-intercept form.
This lesson with printable task cards uses Building Thinking Classrooms strategies for teaching math created by Peter Liljedahl. If you have been looking to implement the Building Thinking Classrooms model of instruction, but don't know where to start, this is a great resource for you.
This lesson includes the following materials:
If you enjoy this product, please leave a review and check out my other products. I will be adding more Thin Slicing lessons in the future based on this model.
If you would like to know more about how I use Building Thinking Classrooms in my own class, check out my blog. I am also creating and refining more thin slicing lessons, so follow my store or check back regularly to see what's new.
