Ways to use these math warm ups in your 8th grade math 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 these functions exit tickets 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.
