Original PromptCreate a card sort where students will cut out 15-20 questions and match them to 15-20 separate answers. The questions should be 7th grade level questions and should cover operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide, and exponents) with positive and negative numbers. Most questions should address one operation in the problem. A handful should address 2-3 operations where students must use order of operations. Include multiple representations of rational numbers in questions (fractions/decima...
This learning resource is designed to enhance students' ability to perform operations with positive and negative rational numbers. Through a collaborative relay activity, students will work together to match 20 mathematical expressions with their equivalent values. Each student will take on specific roles: a Calculator who performs the computations, a Validator who checks the calculations using properties of operations, and others who reflect on their reasoning. The resource includes an expression bank, recording sheets for reasoning, an answer bank for matching, and extensions for creating additional multi-step expressions. Students are encouraged to justify their matches and reflect on their confidence in applying the concepts of additive inverses and order of operations.
