Get your Algebra 1 students thinking critically with these no prep writing prompts. Each problem is tailored specifically to compound probability. The questions cover overlapping and disjoint (mutually exclusive) events, independent and dependent events, and conditional probability. These math prompts are perfect for warm ups, exit tickets, or math journals.
This resource includes:
1. Application problems
2. Reflective prompts
3. Compare and contrast
4. Error analysis
Features:
1. Sized for half sheet warm ups and binders
2. Includes 20 writing prompts
What makes these different from other Algebra 1 warm ups?
Unlike standard math warm ups and exit tickets that only include additional practice problems, these writing prompts require your students to think critically and justify their reasoning.
You can think of these writing prompts as content-based, standards-aligned reflection questions.
✨ Ways to use math warm ups in your Algebra 1 class ✨
Gallery walk – Hang writing prompts around the room and have small groups work to solve the answers. Rotate the students and have the next group add to the previous group’s work with a different strategy, idea, etc.
Test review – Mix and match the writing prompts to assess your students’ understanding of the material before test day.
Daily Math Journal – The vertical version of these task cards can be hole-punched and added to a binder to create a math journal for the beginning or end of class.
Roundtable discussions – Have your students discuss different strategies to solve an application problem.
