Middle School Algebra Centers

This worksheet provides students with step by step instructions for how to read a word problem, create a ratio table, find missing values on the table, and then graph the ratio table.

This worksheet was designed to supplement our district's curriculum, which expected students to use ratios and graph ratios, but did not provide ample opportunity to practice the skill thoroughly. I hope this worksheet is helpful for you and your students.

This is a modified polynomials activity for algebra. There are 16 questions that have students find the leading coefficients, constants, degrees, terms, and then classify the polynomials by degree and terms. This is a great activity to supplement and reinforce polynomial skills. Very interactive! My students loved doing this activity and had a better understanding for the material.

These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise compound and reverse percentages including increasing and decreasing, and compound interest and depreciation.

Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer. Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder.

A calculator is recommended for the final 15 questions at least.

Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:

• Have students race to connect the cards.
• Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
• Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
• Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.

For an advanced start, begin on page two of the record sheet (the first card number is given).

This is the US version with $ (dollars). Click here for our UK version with £ (pounds). If you require a different currency, contact us at contact@littlestreams.co.uk

Have you ever played the New York Times game, "Connections"? This worksheet combines this premise with math to put an exciting spin on learning.

This version concentrates on finding the equation of a line given two points.

Students will solve or simplify the sixteen problems. Then they will inspect the answers and try to find similarities. The sixteen answers can be grouped into four smaller sub groups ranging in difficulty from easy to tricky to find (yellow, green, blue, purple). Each group will have a distinct trait that puts them in this group.

Students can check to make sure a group is correct before trying to find another group. If they guess wrong, they check off a mistake box. Student should try to get all four groups with the least amount of mistakes!

How this activity can be used:

• Classroom Activity: Use it as an engaging group activity in math class to foster collaboration and critical thinking among students.
• Homework Assignment: Assign it as homework to reinforce concepts taught in class and provide extra practice with equations and pattern recognition.
• Math Centers: Incorporate it into math centers or stations for students to work on independently or in small groups.
• Test Preparation: Use it as a review tool to help students prepare for an upcoming test.
• Enrichment Activity: Offer it to advanced students as an enrichment activity to challenge their problem-solving abilities.
• Substitute Teacher Plans: Include it in lesson plans for substitute teachers to ensure students have a meaningful and educational activity to work on in your absence.
• Home- Schooling: Use the worksheet at home for additional practice.
• Assessment Tool: Employ it as a formative assessment to gauge students' understanding of equations and their ability to recognize patterns and group related concepts.
