  • Boom Cards are the perfect solution to get that practice in the classroom while still engaging the students. Self grading and you can hear which students are being successful.
  • Students practice solving one step equations in these 4 puzzles. There are 2 puzzles solving with adding/subtracting--one in each simple level and challenging level. And there are 2 puzzles with multiplying/dividing to solve--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.
  • Practice finding perfect square roots in a fun new way. No PREP, NO PRINTING, NO LAMINATING. Just practice, feedback for students and auto grading for teachers. Great for differentiating and works well in centers, stations, as review or homework. Print
  • Looking for a way for students to practice solving quadratics by taking the square root 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
  • Looking for some online resources to help your students get practice graphing? Here are my favorites as well as some products that let students practice analyzing graphs. Read more at the recent blog.
  • Looking for a way for students to practice using the distributive property that is self-checking? Each 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.Now with video instruction for use as a sub plan, distance learning or absent students.Video demonstrates the first three problems.
  • Looking for a way for students to practice multiplying scientific notation 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.
  • Looking for a self-checking way to practice solving quadratic equations by using the quadratic formula with an engaging activity? This activity includes 16 problems in google slides where students solve the equations and get immediate feedback if not correct. Note: students use this activity in present mode. Recording sheet is included so students can show their work.
  • Looking for a fun way to review radical operations and practice skills? Tic Tac Toe is played the traditional way--one student goes first and if they have the correct answer they mark the square either X or O. Then the second player goes. They continue to take turns until one of them has 3 in a row OR 5 of the 9 squares.
