Hello teachers friends! My name is Niki.I have been teaching mathematics for over 20 years. My subjects are Algebra through Calculus 3 along with Geometry, Trig and Differential Equations. My passion is to create engaging fun and rigorous math resources of high quality for teachers and students. My products include partner and group activities, matching and sorting activities, multiple-choice games, rigorous worksheets & lessons, challenging independent practice, homework assignments, etc.
This is an engaging group activity (for groups of three members) on adding and subtracting polynomials. On each page/slide partners are given three similar examples. The problems are labeled with large animals themed alphabetic letters. On the first page/slide partner A may solve problem A, partner B may solve problem B and partner C - problem C. On the next page/slide partner A will solve problem D, partner B - problem E and partner C will solve problem F, and etc鈥artners have the opportunity to collaborate and compare solutions to similar problems. This group activity may turn to competition to become more fun.
There are 2 pages/slides on adding polynomials and the next 2 pages/slides are on subtracting polynomials. The last 4 slides contain more challenging problems where students have to perform both operations - adding and subtracting polynomials to simplify the given expression.
The activity can be used as classwork and independent practice as well.
Answer keys are included.
NOTE: This product is created as a Google Slides product. I have converted it to PDF item here. I have included 2 PDF files - the one has each slide as a page and the other has two or three slides on a page for easy and more economic printing!
