Math Lesson – “Distributive Property Scavenger Hunt Game”

by Math with Tyrrell
5^th-8^th grade

 

My students love these scavenger hunts. I have never seen them so actively engaged and excited about the distributive property.  Its format is easy to setup for teachers and gets students out of their seats.  It is self-checking and allows teachers to work 1-on-1 with students who need remediation.  This scavenger hunt has a mathematician theme which leads to great discussions with students about what a mathematician is and does.  Awesome activity to add to your unit!

 

 

6.EE.A.3, 7.EE.A.1, 7.NS.A.2.A

Slope Activity

Included is a slope activity for Halloween. Students will determine the slope between two points. Students will either use the slope formula or graph the points and use "rise over run". In addition, students will explain when two points have no slope, when two points have an undefined slope, and what they learned.
