This 40-page editable PowerPoint lesson covers all the basics, plus more. It starts out by reviewing angles and the four types – acute, right, obtuse, and straight before moving onto adjacent, vertical, complementary, and supplementary angles and lines. Students then use that knowledge to solve for the missing measure. Students should be familiar with solving equations prior to this lesson. After mastering lines and angles, the lesson moves to transversals, focusing on the eight angles formed when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. Interior, exterior, alternate interior, alternate exterior, and corresponding angles are covered in detail. Multiple opportunities for student practice are given throughout the presentation and there is a comprehensive practice set at the end. I do not “lock” my PowerPoint lessons.

Updated bundle includes Integer Scribb Notes, Integers and Absolute Value PowerPoint Lesson, Interactive Notes, two pages of Practice Problems, a ten-page Common Core Student Investigation, and the Understanding Integers Assessment - all at a reduced price! Start with the Scribb Notes for students just learning the basics of integers. Follow that with the 24-page PowerPoint lesson that introduces the concept of positive and negative numbers, comparing numbers on the number line, opposites, absolute value, reading absolute values, the opposite of an absolute value, and evaluating expressions with absolute value bars. Multiple "Your Turn" slides gives students the opportunity to practice each skill before moving on either individually or in small groups. Answers are included as part of the presentation. The interactive notes are written to go with the PowerPoint presentation giving students a complete set of notes for these skills. The interactive notes could also be used separate from the PowerPoint. Two pages of student practice problems gives you even more options - check understanding, partner or small group work, homework assignment, or formative assessment. Next, if's time to let your students investigate positive and negative numbers (Integers). The activity starts with defining positive and negative numbers, understanding integers on the number line, real-life integers, comparing integers, the meaning of zero, and opposite numbers. Students can work alone, in pairs, or small groups. Students then continue to use integers in a card game and challenge problem. An assessment menu is also included in this bundle. The packet includes a 10-page student investigation, teacher answer key, and teacher notes. A more formal assessment of integers is also included, along with an answer key.

Add & Subtract Rational Numbers -focuses on problems with rational numbers Equations with Variables on Both Sides -focuses on multi-step equations with variables on both sides These are great activities for students to work with a partner, small group, or individually to solve problems focused on similar skills. There are a lot of options for you to use these activities in multiple ways to assist in individual student growth through differentiation. My students really love the walk-abouts and light up when they walk in and see them around the classroom. I teach multiple grade levels and have used some “lower grade or skill” activities as calculator-free reviews for my older and advanced classes. Post the cards around the room and have students rotate to each “station” to solve one problem and write the “clue” word on their paper. Students can work in whatever order they want, so it is easy to spread them out across the room. Each card is numbered in the upper left star. Posting one or two of the cards in unusual places also adds to the excitement as they search for the hidden station. Two versions of the activity are included to help make printing easier for you. The first has a color background along with the color stars and boxes. The second has a plain white background with the color stars and boxes. If “no color” ink is needed, just print the second set in grayscale or pure black & white. Half sheet student answer sheets are also included to help save on paper and copying costs. Printing each question on cardstock and laminating each will keep copy costs down and preserve the activity for years to come. Using color cardstock keeps printing costs low and student interest high.

I love teaching all algebra topics with tons of interactive and collaborative activities that get students thinking independently and working together. This way everyone gets the practice they need to feel confident in algebra. Here are a bunch of slope activities that you can assign to students working in group or even digitally. I have updated many of the activities to now include links to interactive digital slope activities in Google Slides and Google Forms for blended learning.
Congratulations! You have been given $1,000,000. As a part of this inheritance, you have been given guidelines to follow for how to spend it. Make sure the follow the guidelines to the letter so you don't hurt Grandma Irene's feelings. YOU MUST: 1. Put at least $75,000 aside for college education. Research the cost of the education for ONE year at your favorite university and then calculate it against how many years it will take you to achieve your degree. Add in 10% to cover inflation, books and other expenses related to education. 2. Purchase a home that is NO MORE than $300,000. Research various homes in locations that you would like to live. Find the home that you feel is PERFECT for you and print out one page with the specs from the home. 3. Take a family vacation. Use a travel agency to determine expenses for the total cost including: hotel, airfare, meals, transportation, spending money, etc. 4. Purchase a vehicle. Using dealership sites, find a car or vehicle that is to your liking and print out the one page with the specs for the car from the dealership. 5. Make one charitable donation. Remember that friends, family, and pets do not qualify as a charity. Find a charity that means something to you and give them funds based on a project they are working on. You may NOT spend more than $1,000,000 but you want to spend as much of it as possible. This project is developed to help you plan for your future and develop the math skills that you have acquired and put them in a real-life situation by spending money within a budget. As part of this project you WILL NOT be required to pay taxes, closing costs or other fees. Other rules for the Million Dollar Project: 1. All time used in class on the internet is to not be wasted. Make sure you are on appropriate sites and using time wisely as you will be receiving a grade based on participation and being on-task. 2. You may not purchase more than 2 of the same item. 3. Make sure to record all items that you purchase on the expense tracking sheet to total up your expenses as you go along. YOU MAY NOT go over $1,000,000 from your budget and you MAY NOT borrow money from a friend. 4. Each purchase that you make MUST have a check written out appropriately. Use the model below to know how to write a check. You will not be able to write more than the 18 checks that you are given. 5. Design a cover for your project in Microsoft Publisher and staple it to your tracking sheets before turning your project and checkbook in. This project is due April 24th and 25th depending on the class period that you have Pre-Algebra. (This project has been modified from The Million Dollar Project from Janis Noble at Caffeinated Conclusions.)
Start the year off right with this 24-question math review and icebreaker activity. This is a great beginning of the year activity to see what skills your 8th graders walk in the door with while also letting them get to know their classmates and feel more comfortable in your classroom. The activity is given in two different formats (two-question sets vs. worksheet model) so you have multiple options on how you use it in your class. Some ideas are: 1. Speed Dating Math. Arrange desks so you have two rows facing each other. Using the set format, have students work on one set with the person across from them. All students would move one desk to the right for the next round. 2. Cut apart the set version and have students work in pairs or small groups to answer the set. For the second set, you could ask students to find other “even” or “odd” set numbers; third, ask students to either double or half the even numbered problem of the set they just finished and find students with the same number. 3. You could also use the cut-up set version and randomly give a card to each student as they enter. They would then find others with their same set number to start the activity. 4. The worksheet format would use less paper if you were giving all students a full set of questions. You could still use the speed dating math setup from #1 and choose how many question you want students to do with the same person before moving desks, or use rotating small groups. 5. As a scavenger hunt or walk-about. Post the set problems randomly around the room and give students one blank answer sheet (included) for “Step Up to 8th Grade Math Review & Icebreaker”. All forms, multiple versions of student answer sheets, teacher notes, and an answer key is included.

It's hard to believe we're all here, being forced into homeschooling algebra or developing algebra lessons that can be taught from home. Students are suddenly tasked with distance learning on Google Apps that may have never used before. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all and wondering how I ever took normal life for granted. But here we are! Homeschooling our kids math (or in my case "homeschooling" since mine is in K) or creating digital algebra lessons for remote teaching on platforms like Google Classroom or Zoom that we may have never used before.
