Combining Like Terms Partner Activity
In this activity, students will work with a partner to complete 15 practice problems involving combining like terms. This is similar to a think, pair, share activity. Students should have knowledge of variables and integers before completing this activity. Each student solves his or her own problem. Both problems are different, but the answers are the same. This is a great way to practice combining like terms! The answer key is included along with a student handout. You can also edit as n

Matching Equations of Lines: Point-Slope, Slope-Intercept, and Standard Forms
In this activity, each student will be given a card with either: a point and a slope, an equation in point-slope form, an equation in slope-intercept form, or an equation in standard form. Students will walk around talking to one another to find the three cards that match up with theirs. This helps students relate all three forms and not see them as different and completely separate ideas.
