9th Grade Algebra Scaffolded Notes (by rating)

This math notebook is full of guided notes for all 8th grade math standards. It's a great way to introduce new concepts, or review for state testing. These notebook pages include step-by-step instructions, key vocabulary words, examples, and practice opportunities. A math notebook is a valuable resource for students to use both at home and at school. These 8th grade math notes can be used during direct instruction, guided practice, or to independently review a topic. They allow for engagement and interaction during instruction, without having to copy too much down.

Included are all 8th grade Common Core standards as well as a few review concepts I have found beneficial for students. A teacher's guide is also included with a full answer key. The notes come in two sizes - full size pages to add in binders and half sheet pages to put in composition or spiral notebooks. Please note, these are in PDF format and are not editable.

The following concepts are covered with at least one page of notes:

The Number System

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on writing linear functions from a visual pattern for 8th grade math. These progressively challenging task cards start students with simple picture patterns starting at Step zero and progress up to growing and shrinking patterns with large gaps in between each step. 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 works great as an introduction to linear functions using visual patterns instead of the usual tables, graphs, and scenarios. Your visual learners with thrive as they are able to explain how they see each pattern growing, then connect that growth to the constant rate of change in a linear function.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Complete instructions on how I run a "Thin Slicing" lesson using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) in my own classroom.
• 11 Full-Size Task Cards on writing linear functions from a visual pattern.
• Answers for all Task Cards.
• "Notes To My Future Forgetful Self" Student Notes Template.
• Student Notes answer key.
• "Check Your Understanding" student Exit Ticket.
• Exit Ticket answer key.

Once the thin slicing lesson is complete, students can use the provided notes template to record their thinking, as well as complete a "Check Your Understanding" exit ticket to give you and your students formative assessment feedback on how they are understanding the topic.

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.

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on solving equations using square roots for 8th grade math. These progressively challenging task cards start students with simple square roots of perfect square and guides them through the process of solving equations using square roots with up to 3 steps. 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:

• Complete instructions on how I run a "Thin Slicing" lesson using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) in my own classroom.
• 12 Full-Size Task Cards on solving equations using square roots.
• Answers for all Task Cards.
• "Notes To My Future Forgetful Self" Student Notes Template.
• Student Notes answer key.
• "Check Your Understanding" student Exit Ticket.
• Exit Ticket answer key.

Once the thin slicing lesson is complete, students can use the provided notes template to record their thinking, as well as complete a "Check Your Understanding" exit ticket to give you and your students formative assessment feedback on how they are understanding the topic.
