Level Ups provide increasing levels of challenge and rigor on critical Common Core Grade 8 math standards. Students begin at level 0, working on the pre-requisite skills needed for a standard, then level up each time they complete a task. If a student can complete level 4, both you and them know they have mastered that standard.
This Level Ups Bundle includes 5 different activities covering all of the 8th grade Geometry Domain standards, including transformations, congruence & similarity, Pythagorean Theorem, angle relationships, and volume. Purchasing these activities in this bundle provides a 10% discount over buying them individually. The 5 activities included are:
In total this bundle covers 9 different Common Core grade 8 math standards.

Congruence & Similarity Differentiated Review Activity | Grade 8 Math
By EZMath
Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review 8th grade congruence and similarity using rigid and non-rigid transformations such as dilations, rotations, translations and reflections. 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 identifying corresponding sides and angles between similar and congruent figures, then "level up" all the way to describing a sequence of multiple transformations that maps one figure onto another. Students must use these sequences to determine if two figures are congruent, similar, or neither.
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 angle relationships, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.
This activity includes:
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.

Angle Relationships Differentiated Review Activity | Grade 8 Math
By EZMath
Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review 8th grade angle relationships in triangles and parallel lines cut by a transversal. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity includes 5 differentiated tasks that increase in rigor, covering:
The task cards begin with pre-requisite skills of measuring & naming angles, and working with complementary, supplementary, and vertically opposite angles, then "level up" all the way to finding multiple unknown angles in a large diagram involving parallel lines.
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 angle relationships, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

Volume of Cylinders, Cones, & Spheres Review Activity | Grade 8 Math
By EZMath
Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review 8th grade volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres. 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 identifying and calculating the volume of prisms, then "level up" all the way to calculating the volume of composite solids involving cylinders, cones, and spheres. Students must also apply their volume skills to real-world problems, such as filling water tanks and finding how much soda is in a 12-pack of soda cans.
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 angle relationships, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.
