This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on writing and solving systems of equations from real-life word problems and mathematical scenarios (8.EE.8c). This lesson uses Building Thinking Classrooms strategies for teaching math created by Peter Liljedahl. If you have been looking to implement the Building Thinking Classrooms model of instruction, but don't know where to start, this is a great resource for you.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Description of how I run a "Thin Slicing" lesson using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) in my own classroom.

This lesson will help your students learn how to write systems of equations from a word problem, encourages rich math discussion, and provides an additional challenge for your students who move at an accelerated pace. This lesson starts with a very low floor to encourage access for all students, and provides a high ceiling with 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 3rd in a 3-part series for 8th grade systems of equations. The two other lessons are:

1. Solving Systems By Substitution Thin Slicing Lesson - 8th Grade Math 8.EE.8b

2. Solving Systems By Elimination Thin Slicing Lesson - 8th Grade Math 8.EE.8b

The Super Burger is an 8th Grade math activity that gives students the opportunity to create and use linear functions to solve a real-world problem. This 3-page printable activity gives students three increasingly challenging scenarios in which they must create, graph, and use a linear function based on the menu of a fast food burger chain.

Great as a summation activity at the end of a linear function unit, this differentiated task starts students with a basic proportional situation, then increases in challenge in each following task. As students reach each new task, the teacher can assess how students are doing along the way and use this formative assessment to help guide any needed intervention before there is an assessment.

This lesson can be done as a whole class direct instruction lesson, as a partner activity, or even with whole table groups to encourage problem solving and math discussion.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Complete lesson directions with suggestion on how to teach it in your classroom.
• Printable student activity packet (3 pages).
• Complete worked out solutions.

If you have been looking for a good linear functions formative assessment or team-based activity, this lesson is a great fit.

After using several visual patterns as warm ups building up to writing equations, I created this to push my students to figure out how to determine the slope and y intercept of an equation from a table that skips x values and doesn't include 0.

This worked great with Building Thinking Classroom practices, especially with students who are familiar with writing equations from visual patterns. I've personally used it with advanced 6th graders and 7th graders.

A detailed answer key and questions/hints for pushing students thinking are included.

I've also included links to several Desmos activities that I and others have made that help students develop a deeper understanding of writing equations with meaningful feedback (not just telling them if they are right or wrong but showing why).

My students sometimes have a hard time differentiating between area, volume and perimeter. This 10-slide presentation gives real-life situations and asks them which of the three they'd use to solve the problems. Similar to how they'd solve written problems, except there are no numbers - just images and concepts to get them thinking.

This takes the fear out of written problems (raise your hand if your students get spooked!) and gives them an idea (without numbers involved) to think outside the box about these three operations!
