  • Are you looking for an interactive and self-correcting resource to review finding the volume of solids with your students? There are 2 different pictures with 16 problems for each picture. Students start with the picture totally covered by the answer boxes. As they answer each question correctly, more and more of the covered picture is revealed.
  • Looking for a fun, engaging activity that gets the kids moving and talking about math? In this resource, students practice using the distributive property and you can choose between a printed activity or digital (self-grading) activity. The printed activity works great in the classroom while the digital activity can be used for distance learning or absent students.
  • Boom Cards™ are a great way for students to practice every day skills In this 20- card deck, students practice solving quadratics using the quadratic formula This set of Boom Cards features different Digital Self-Checking Task Cards. (No printing, cutting, laminating, or grading!)
  • Looking for a way for students to practice solving for the midpoint that is self-checking? This worksheet has 12 problems. Students will solve the first problem, look for their answer to solve the next problem. They continue until they have looped through all the problems back to problem 1. If they have a wrong answer along the way, they will know it.
  • Students practice using the distributive property, both in distributing and combining like terms, in these 2 puzzles in google slides. There are 2 puzzles--one in each simple level and challenging level. In the simpler level, the outside edges are blank, so if students are having difficulty, have them arrange the pieces so the blank sides are on the outside.
  • Algebra tiles are manipulatives that offer students a way to connect with abstract concepts. Manipulatives are helpful in combining like terms especially. Students see that different terms are not the same shape or size. Get started with some printable tiles or online resources. Read more at the blog post.

Students will need to look at the diagram, find the measure and then look for the answer on another strip.
  • Students practice finding measures of angles in Isosceles Triangles in this group collaborative activity. Teacher passes out 4 different versions of the worksheet, students work to solve the problems getting help from their group. When the timer goes off, students meet in one of the four corners matching their worksheet to compare and correct their answers, discussing with a new group.
