Less than $5 8th Grade Word Problems Activities (by date, latest first)

Ever needed a review activity on solving and graphing systems of linear equations for 8th grade math 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 systems of 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).

-6 rounds with 2-4 problems each of targeted review on solving systems of equations for 8th grade.

-Complete worked out solutions for all 6 rounds.

The Super Burger is an 8th Grade math activity that gives students the opportunity to create and use linear functions to solve a real-world problem. This 3-page printable activity gives students three increasingly challenging scenarios in which they must create, graph, and use a linear function based on the menu of a fast food burger chain.

Great as a summation activity at the end of a linear function unit, this differentiated task starts students with a basic proportional situation, then increases in challenge in each following task. As students reach each new task, the teacher can assess how students are doing along the way and use this formative assessment to help guide any needed intervention before there is an assessment.

This lesson can be done as a whole class direct instruction lesson, as a partner activity, or even with whole table groups to encourage problem solving and math discussion.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Complete lesson directions with suggestion on how to teach it in your classroom.
• Printable student activity packet (3 pages).
• Complete worked out solutions.

If you have been looking for a good linear functions formative assessment or team-based activity, this lesson is a great fit.
