Free Math Test Prep Task Cards (by date, latest first)

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.
