Functions - Vocabulary Grab Bag Game

Functions - Vocabulary Grab Bag Game
Math, Algebra, Grade 8, 9, 10, Activities, Games

Vocab Grab Bag is an interactive learning and review activity that focuses on academic vocabulary. This math activity can be a part of your sheltered instruction toolbox and is great for both ELLs and native English speakers. Sheltered language strategies are teaching strategies that focus on teaching academic vocabulary at the same time as academic content. These types of strategies have been researched and shown to improve student learning, especially for ELLs. This Vocab Grab Bag game combines both academic vocabulary building and student interaction. When students participate in this activity, they are explicitly required to interact with both academic language and content at the same time. This Vocab Grab Bag resource contains -Vocabulary Cards; you will need one set of cards per group. -”How to play vocab grab bag” text Instructions to project -Cheat Sheet: Words and definitions -Job cards for groups of 3, 4, or 5; you will need one set of job cards per group -(Optional) Alphabetizing Mat; if you use this additional activity, print one mat per group. -Answer Key for Alphabetizing Mat You will need to supply your own bag, envelope, or container for the word cards. How to play Vocab Grab Bag 1.Cut out the vocab cards and place one set of cards in each bag, envelope or container that you are using. 2.Organize students into groups of 3, 4, or 5. I have found that groups of 4 seem to be optimal. 3.Give each student one Job Card. 4.Students go in order, starting with Job 1 until they have completed one round. Do not return the used words to the container. 5. After each round, students rotate jobs, passing the Job Cards in the order you designate. 6. Continue until the teacher stops the game . 7. Alternate option #1: When all word cards have been used, transition to putting the words in alphabetical order, using the Alphabetizing Mat. 8. Alternate option #2: If all word cards have been used, return all the cards to the container and start over again. Teacher tips •Do not skip the praise step, it is important and surprisingly fun! •If you have a student in the very early stages of learning English, consider letting them keep Job 1 or Job 2 for the entire game . •Project the instructions at the front of the room for students to refer to while playing.

Martin Luther King Jr. Solving One Step Equations Pixel Art

Martin Luther King Jr. Solving One Step Equations Pixel Art
Math, Algebra, Grade 6, 7, 8, Activities

This activity is a fun and engaging way for students to practice one-step equations while having fun and looking for a mystery picture. The activity features 20 one-step equations for students to solve, and as they correctly answer the questions, a mystery picture (Martin Luther King Jr. themed) will be revealed. The design of the activity makes it easy for students to self-check their answers, letting them receive immediate feedback and quickly identify and correct any mistakes they make. The activity is suitable for middle school students but has been specifically designed for sixth graders. It’s great that this activity is easy to implement in the classroom. All you need to do is share the link with the students and they are ready to go! The activity is designed to be engaging and interactive, so even the most reluctant students will be motivated to participate. By combining problem-solving with a mystery picture reveal, it encourages students to engage with the material and work towards a concrete goal, helping them to stay motivated and focused throughout the activity. The answers include positive and negative integers, so students will have the opportunity to practice working with both types of numbers. A printable version of the questions and answers is also included, making it easy to use in the classroom or at home. I used this activity as a sub plan with sixth graders, and they loved it. They where so engaged. Now I give them a pixel art activity as a price, if they are well behaved or on Fridays, or as homework if they need some extra practice. It is also a great activity to assign to fast finishers. Since this activity is online there is no need for Google or Microsoft logins. What's Included: Pdf with the link to the activity printable version of the questions Solutions

Democritus – Introducing a Pioneer of Atomic Theory | PDF + H5P

Democritus – Introducing a Pioneer of Atomic Theory | PDF + H5P
Life Sciences, Science, STEM, History: World, History, Social Studies, Biographies, Inventors, Basic Science, Human Body, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Teacher Tools, Projects, Activities

Democritus – Introducing a Pioneer of Atomic Theory Informational text, profile worksheet, and interactive quiz (PDF + H5P) 🧪📄 This resource introduces students to Democritus, one of the earliest thinkers to describe the idea of atoms. Although his theories were based on philosophy rather than experimental science, his work laid the foundation for what would later become atomic theory. The material is designed for use in grades 7–10 and works well in both subject-specific chemistry lessons and interdisciplinary settings such as history of science or philosophy of science. What’s included: Informational text on Democritus Printable profile worksheet Answer key for the profile Quiz questions based on the text (with solutions) Two extension tasks: – Students write their own questions about the text – Exchange and answer questions with a partner File formats: – Printable and digital PDF – Editable .docx version (text only) – H5P version for interactive use in LMS platforms (no images) How I use it: The material can be used as part of a chemistry unit introducing atomic models or scientific thinking. I’ve also used it in non-specialist substitute lessons, since the tasks are self-explanatory and include answer keys. Students first read the text and complete a short profile about Democritus, then move on to quiz questions for comprehension. The optional extension tasks promote active engagement and peer interaction, and are ideal if you want to add 10–15 extra minutes to the lesson. This resource works in traditional classroom settings, for independent work, or in digital environments thanks to the H5P version. It’s also useful for differentiating – more advanced students can create and exchange their own questions, while others focus on the basics. No extra prep required – just print or upload, and the lesson is ready to go. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.
