  • Solving Inequalities Santa Hat
    • This activity is similar to a walk around but is all digital. Students start at the Santa Hat labeled #1 and solve problems based on their previous answer. After solving the problems, they submit their answer order which the Google Form will self grade and a picture/document of their work.

    • This activity is completed on a Google Form. Students are presented with snowballs that are decimals, fractions, mixed numbers, in scientific notation or percents and must type them in order to advance. The only way to advance in the snowball fight is to get the answer correct. There are 5 questions.

    • This activity has students factor equations on hot chocolate mugs. The students select the marshmallows that represent the zeros. This is completed on a Google Form and will automatically grade for you. There are 15 questions for the students to factor and find the zeros. 
  • Factoring Drag and Drop Hot Chocolate
    • This is a Google Slides Activity on finding the zeros given a quadratic equation.

The students will drag and drop the marshmallows into the boxes above the mugs where they are answers. There are 10 total equations for students to factor and find the zeros; an answer key is included.

Long Division in Google Docs

  I was making a long division worksheet for my students in Google Docs when I realized that it wasn't under equations. Here's how to insert it.  This does not look very pretty so I have another video on how I do it in Google Sheets which takes longer but looks nicer.

Blooket Game

  A week ago my students kept asking to play Blooket so I looked into it.  Blooket is much like Kahoot and Gimkit but they earn money.  Blooket has several different game modes and the students LOVE IT.  Once a student has been eliminated they will keep playing to earn more gold which they can use to buy rare items.  Each week Blooket has a theme and those rare items can be bought for the week and then they are gone; the items include accessories or special characters they can play as.  My students will play for hours if we let them.  When we finish a game they are ready for another round.  Blooket has a FREE version which has been enough for my class but you can also upgrade to a paid version.  They have games that are already made or you can create a new game.   My students love the battle royale mode and the gold quest the best.  If you haven't given it a try I would highly suggest it.
