  • Looking for a fun way to review and practice skills such as solving a similar right triangle? 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.
  • Looking for a fun activity that is self-checking, collaborative and multiplying binomials? This is a set of 15 problems that need to be cut apart, reassembled in the correct order and fastened together like a chain until the end is reached.
  • In this activity, students will find 2 sides of special right triangles: both 45-45-90 right triangles and 30-60-90 right triangles. Students will use formulas to find those missing sides lengths. There are 4 different worksheets with 6 problems each. Each group will get a different version of the worksheet as identified by a musical symbol.
  • Boom Cards™ are a great way for students to practice every day skills In this deck, students practice finding the missing sides of similar right triangles. This set of Boom Cards features different Digital Self-Checking Task Cards. (No printing, cutting, laminating, or grading!)
  • Great practice, worksheet alternative, formative assessment for students that you can HEAR if they are successful. No printing, no laminating. A Lifetime tool for the classroom.
  • Looking for a fun activity that is self-checking, collaborative and practices finding angle measures of parallel lines cut by a transversal? This is a set of 16 problems that need to be cut apart, reassembled in the correct order and fastened together like a chain until the end is reached. The angles are vertical angles, linear pairs, corresponding angles, consecutive interior angles, alternate exterior angles and alternate interior angles. #bluemountainmath #geometry
  • Looking for a way for students to practice finding slope from two points 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.
  • Boom Cards™ are a great way for students to practice every day skills In this deck, students practice adding expenses from a budget, finding savings on budget choices and finding budgeted amounts. I use this in my teen finance course during the budgeting unit. This is great reinforcement of rounding and using percents. This set of Boom Cards features 35 different Digital Self-Checking Task Cards. (No printing, cutting, laminating, or grading!)#bluemountainmath #boomcards
  • Looking for a fun activity that is self-checking, collaborative and practices writing quadratic functions in vertex form? This is a set of 16 problems that need to be cut apart, reassembled in the correct order and fastened together like a chain until the end is reached.
