Resource List

This resource is a part of my 7th grade skills based curriculum that I am building, this is a work in progress and I will be focusing on 7th grade TEKS this year with hopes to expand to 6th and 8th grade. While I am based in Texas and most of the resources will be aligned with the TEKS, everything I am creating is skill based meaning they are not specific to Texas and can be used by anyone! Take a look through the Resource List linked below to see all that is available, it is a live document and will be updated as I go.

Properties of Operations Card Sort with a variety of visual representations illustrating the Distributive, Commutative and Associative Properties. Contains 29 expressions, 29 visual representations, and 29 verbal descriptions. Some of the expressions are equivalent to another expression in the sort illustrating one of the properties and some are not equivalent illustrating common mistakes and misconceptions.

Includes some cards with only numbers and some with variables.

*Due to the different types of representations, not all cards are the same size.

Check out my other card sorts focused on connecting visual representations and algebraic/numeric expressions.

Are you looking for new activities to solve equations with variables on both sides? This Scoot game is a new way to engage your students with task cards. Students will solve multi-step equations with variables on both sides.

Includes use of the distributive property, combining like terms, and integers.

This product includes:

• 1 page instructions: how to solve equations with variables on both sides (with examples)
• 24 task cards
• answer sheet
• solutions

SCOOT:

Put a question card on each desk.

Give each student an answer sheet and a pencil.

Have each student answer the question card on their desk and record their answer on their answer sheet. Make sure to remind them to answer the correct number.

Give students x (I gave my students 2 minutes, but it’s up to you) minutes to answer each question. Then say “SCOOT”.

When you say “scoot”, students will quickly stand up, leave their card at their desk and move to the next desk with the next number. They will then start working immediately on the next question.

When all students are finished, check the answers as a group.

Other ideas for using task cards in the classroom:

EXIT SLIP:

Have a student choose a card and let him solve the equation before leaving class.

Copy onto colored card stock. Laminate them and use them year after year.

This "Thin Slicing" activity on comparing linear functions gets your 8th grade students thinking about linear functions. These progressively challenging task cards start students with simple proportional relationships and progress up to writing a linear function from only two ordered pairs, graphs with differently scaled axes, and tables with minimal information. Students must work together to compare rates of change and initial values for multiple functions, including tables, graphs, equations, and scenarios.

Great as a review activity, or as an introduction to comparing linear functions after your students have learned slope-intercept form.

Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review transformations on the coordinate plane, including translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations. 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 of graphing on a coordinate plane and identifying basic transformations, then "level up" all the way to performing a sequence of up to three different transformations.

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 transformations, 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 4 - 9 questions each.
• Complete answer keys for each level.

My students love "Level Up Day" in my own classroom, and the activity works great as independent practice, a pairs activity, or even group work. I also use this when I need a majority of students working independently while I pull a small group for intervention.

If you enjoy this activity, please check out my other Level Up products, or my Team Target Review series, which encourages group work and rich math discussion.
