Writing Algebraic Expressions Boom Cards

Writing Algebraic Expressions Boom Cards is an internet based activity. It is paperless and self-grading. Great for 1:1 classrooms. Can also be used in a center or with an interactive whiteboard. Students get instant feedback after each question. Boom Cards play on any digital device with an internet connection. Hosted by Boom Learning. 

Created for 6th grade. All expressions are single step and include a variable. This is a guided lesson therefore students are first shown how to do the skill and then given questions on it. When students get a wrong answer they are taken to a reteach or hint card and then back to the question for another chance. You cannot skip or hide cards in this deck. This type of deck is great for introducing the topic or review. Some questions require students to choose and answer and others require students to enter an answer.

Skills taught:

  • Definition of an expression

Prerequisite skills needed to use this activity
