Free 8th Grade Math Task Cards

Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review defining functions and comparing functions. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity includes 5 differentiated tasks that increase in rigor. The task cards begin with pre-requisite skills involving identifying the slope and y-intercept of linear functions in different representations, then "level up" all the way to creating and comparing functions that are both linear and non-linear.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review what is and is not a function, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

-Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).

-Five levels with 6 - 11 questions each.

-Complete answer keys for each level.

"The Answers Are..." is a great Non-Curricular Thinking Task your math students can all access, no matter their skill level. Each task card gives a number bank and 5 target answers your students must create. Using each number in the bank only one time each, students work in teams of three to create all 5 expressions by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It's more challenging than you might think!

If you are implementing Building Thinking Classrooms this year, "The Answers Are..." is a great thinking task to do with your students at your Vertical Whiteboard stations during the first week of school. Once they solve one of the puzzles, they will keep coming back for more.

This FREE lesson includes the following:

• 10 Different Task Cards using only Whole Numbers
• Solutions for each Task Card
• Complete lesson instructions and pacing
• A Free Canva Template to create your own Task Cards

I created this FREE lesson so any math teacher using BTC can have access to a quick lesson plan for one of the first few days of school. Get your students out of their seats, standing at their whiteboards, and thinking deeply about math.

Ever needed a review activity on solving equations that was fun and engaging for your students? Team Target Review is a cooperative and competitive activity designed to get students thinking, talking, and working together.

Teams of 2-4 students work together to complete increasing levels of difficulty on solving equations. As students progress, you can quickly assess mastery and give intervention help on the spot.

This activity works great as an engaging review session before an assessment, a quick(ish) activity on one of those pesky minimum days where you have limited time, or as part of a block period when you want to break up the direct instruction.

This activity includes:

-Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).

-5 rounds with four problems each of targeted review on solving equations for 8th grade.

-Complete worked out solutions for each round.

If you enjoy this activity you might also like my other Team Target Review activities, or check out my Level Up products, which provide students increasing levels of challenge they can do at their own pace.
