9th Grade Algebra Resources

8th grade math teachers - looking for a fun and engating way to review concepts at the End of the Year? Need a great test prep tool to review before state assessments, the SBAC, or Common Core tests, or just play at the end of the year in 7th grade math?

Students will love this Jeopardy-like game to review Common Core standards. Categories include FUNCTIONS, NUMBER SYSTEMS, EXPRESSIONS & EQUATIONS, GEOMETRY, PROBABILITY & STATISTICS, AND VOCABULARY. Points range from 100 - 500, which reflect the increase in difficulty from 100-point basic review questions to 500-point questions that require students to apply their knowledge.

**FULLY EDITABLE** While the game is complete, it is also editable in PowerPoint, making it easy to add questions or change the level of difficulty based on your students' needs.

⭐FUNCTIONS: involve determining whether or not a graph or equation is a function, reading function, tables, graphs, and equations, and comparing functions.

⭐NUMEBR SYSTEMS: in this category students determine whether or not a number is rational, find approximate values for irrational numbers, convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, and compare values of both rational and irrational numbers.

⭐EXPRESSIONS & EQUATIONS: these problems have students use integer exponent properties, find the equation of a line, compare two values in scientific notation, and solve a system of equations with two equations (one solution).

⭐GEOMETRY: questions involve finding missing angle measurements, finding the volume of a cylinder, and answering questions about transformations.

⭐PROBABILITY & STATISTICS: students must read and understand scatter plots and double frequency tables. They must find the equation of a line of best fit, or a trend line.

⭐VOCABULARY : questions ask about transformation, angle pairs, types of decimals, rational and irrational numbers, and formulas for finding volume.

LESSON: ONE_STEP EQUATIONS PUZZLE GAME

GRADE LEVEL: MIDDLE SCHOOL

TIME FRAME: 1 HOUR

OBJECTIVE:

o The learner will work to solve one-step equations with rational numbers.

o The learner will solve equations that include decimals fractions, to solve for x.

MATERIALS:

o Scissors

o Zip lock bags

o Construction paper and glue

o Optional: lamination for storage and reuse. If you choose this, construction paper and glue will not be needed, as they will not glue the pieces to construction paper.

o Print out of puzzle for the instructor as an answer sheet.

PREPARATION:

Students will be working in pairs to complete the equations puzzle, which requires students to solve one-step equations with rational number. Place students in teams of two. Duplicate enough copies for each team to have one puzzle. Cut out the puzzle pieces and place them into a Ziplock bag.

Optional: You may laminate the puzzle pieces for reuse if you choose to keep the pieces to use one year to the next. However, you will not need construction paper and glue if lamination is chosen.

INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)

Ask students what constitutes an equation.

Answer: An equation says that two things are equal, and may contain two or more

variables.

Ask students what constitute a rational number.

Answer: A number that you can put into fraction such a decimal, fraction, percent or

whole number.

Review how to work through a one-step equation using the following equations:

• 5x=80 Answer (16)

• x+-20=17 Answer: (37)

• x-(-10)=-10 Answer: (-20)

• x-4 1/3=2 2/3 Answer: (7)

HELPFUL VIDEO: (10 minutes)

Helpful Youtube video links included.

TEAM ACTIVITY: (30 minutes)

Provide each team with a puzzle in a Ziplock bag. Provide students 15-30 minutes to solve the equations and place the puzzle together. You may even encourage a competition to see which groups can complete the puzzle first providing prizes to first place, second place, and third place. Once they have the puzzle completed, have them glue it to a piece of construction paper if you have not chosen to laminate the game pieces for reuse.

CLOSURE / EVALUATION: (20 minutes)

Using an overhead projector or smart board projector that will display the puzzle pieces, work with the class to solve the puzzle. Students will check their answers.

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY/HOMEWORK

Give students a blank chart and allow them to create a puzzle for that they can give to another group/student to complete. Make sure the student keeps a copy of the puzzle to act as the answer sheet.

TEACHER’S ANSWER SHEET

Each puzzle has the answers in itself before being cut into puzzle pieces. The equations on the outer edges of the puzzle will not have answers to match. This makes the puzzle more challenging

Lots of practice to FOIL binomials well. This task builds up from basic multiplication of whole numbers to complex binomials. The six tasks build gradually in complexity and involves 1) multiplying whole numbers, 2) multiplying integers, 3) multiplying positive monomials, 4) multiplying positive and negative monomials with binomials, 5) multiplying binomials with leading coefficient of 1 and 6) multiplying binomials with leading coefficient different from 1.

Students will clarify the following topics through thorough practice:

• multiplying positive and negative numbers
• adding and subtracting like terms
• exponential laws

These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise compound and reverse percentages including increasing and decreasing, and compound interest and depreciation.

Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer. Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder.

A calculator is recommended for the final 15 questions at least.

Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:

• Have students race to connect the cards.
• Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
• Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
• Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.

For an advanced start, begin on page two of the record sheet (the first card number is given).

This lesson will help your students learn how to solve single-variable equations with variables on both sides and encourages rich math discussion. This lesson starts with a very low floor using picture models to encourage access for all students, and provides a high ceiling with open middle extension questions. Once complete, students can use the provided notes template to record their thinking, as well as a "Check Your Understanding" exit ticket to give you and your students formative assessment feedback on how they are understanding the topic.

This lesson is the 2nd in a series for 8th grade equation solving. The two other lessons are:

1. Solving Equations Thin Slicing Lesson: Grade 8

3. Finding The Number Of Solutions Thin Slicing Lesson - Grade 8

Please consider using the whole 3 lesson unit when teaching equation solving for 8th grade.

If you enjoy this product, please leave a review and check out my other products. I will be adding more Thin Slicing lessons in the future based on this model.

Connect is a math-based card game that engages students. They can practice any math skill and have fun in this fast-paced environment. Students use flashcard-like playing cards and math symbols to match each other's cards. When there is a match, both players shout out the answer to the shown equation, and the fastest player wins!

The catch is, there could be multiple matches in a round when the top cards are taken off, creating a chain reaction of fun!

The best part is, you can edit the cards using Google Slides to fit any of your needs! This game can be used for ANY skill. Currently, the game is set up for solving trinomials when a = 1, but you can replace equations as you see fit. It's easy change the cards to addition, fractions, percent, solving equations, factoring, etc.

Even though the game is designed for math, you could switch the game from math equations to sight words, rhyming words, description words, science words, important dates in history, etc. The cards are editable!

Contents:

* 90 cards (6 sheets)

-80 EDITABLE equation cards

-10 Connect cards

-6 blank cards
