Sorting Cards For Solving Equations Alongside Variables On Both Sides

Since my non-standard operations sorting bill of fare activity was such a striking alongside my Algebra 1 students, I decided to role the same exercise construction to brand an activeness for my students to decease extra exercise alongside solving equations alongside variables on both sides.

I created a deck of 12 cards. Each bill of fare contained an equation alongside variables on both sides as well as a particular symbol.

When the 12 equations are solved, they tin last placed into iv groups of iii cards each. Each bill of fare inwards the grouping volition accept the exact same solution. I similar this construction because it helps students cheque their travel as well as builds confidence all at the same time. If students halt upwardly alongside 5 or to a greater extent than groups, they know to re-check the problems inwards the groups that had the to the lowest degree cards inwards them. 

I printed these cards on pretty pinkish newspaper as well as laminated each set. 

I besides created an response telephone commutation canvass that lets me chop-chop cheque a group's travel to run across if their groupings are correct.
