Simplifying Algebraic Expressions Activity Bundle

This bundle contains 7 engaging, more than just a worksheet activities that I use to help my students learn about the simplifying algebraic expressions. Specific skills students will master include combining like terms and the distributive property. The different types of activities that are included in this bundle are

1) Differentiated Math Mazes

Students must solve problems correctly in order to draw arrows through the different leveled mazes to help them get from the start of a maze to the end.

2) Color by Number

Students will circle their answers to each of the twelve problems given. They then find the problem number on the coloring page and color each section with the appropriate color to make a beautiful design!

3) Error Analysis

Students utilize their critical thinking skills in order to find mistakes to problems that have already been solved. After finding a mistake students explain in words what the mistake was prior to solving it correctly.

4) Scavenger Hunt

After answering a question, students must walk around the room to find their answer. This allows students to know which hung on your wall classroom question to answer next. This engaging activity allows your students to get up and move around the room as opposed to just staying at their desks all class!

5) Task Cards

This set of task cards contain 24 problems along with a student recording sheet. These task cards make great bell ringers, exit tickets, or could be used as stations.

6) Math Puzzle

Students practice simplifying algebraic expressions by putting together a 4 x 4 math puzzle.

7) Math Murder Mystery

Students practice simplifying algebraic expressions by helping Detective Algebras solve a murder mystery! The more questions (clues) students answer, the closer students will be to discovering the murderer!
