Hands on introduction to variables:

Students are more invested when they can move, even a little bit. This activity has students organizing cards into two categories: variable and no variable. They will recognize that letters are used for terms in expressions that are unknown.

Teachers can use these cards in a variety of ways. I have put Velcro on the back of the card and made posters with Velcro labelled "variable" and "no variable". Students in teams raced to place their cards on the correct poster. A super fun activity to introduce variables.

What's included:

• Instructions.
• Category title cards.
• 14 expression cards.

Why is this product useful:

• Can be used in a variety of ways.
• Easy prep for the teacher.
• Great introduction to recognition of variables.
