I had originally made these task cards for my class to use as practice this year but it was something I never had the time to finish up. The end of this school year was a rough one and everyone was doing their best to keep their heads above water. So needless to say I never got to use them but plan to this year with my new Geometry students.
Had I actually had the chance to use them I would have used them in one of the following ways:
Option #1 Students work in teams (my room has 4 large tables) and each team would get a task card from each page, work it out together and pass them around until they did all 4 then we would pass out the next page. All students would complete all problems.
Option #2 Put the cards randomly though out my classroom, have students work in pairs and work their way around the room until they have completed all the problems.
Option #3 Put all cards in a bucket, have students work in small groups, they come up and draw a card out of the bucket and work it out with their team. The only downside to this option is that there is a chance some groups might not get a card from each page so they won't get practice from that kind of problem.
Well here are the cards...Let me know if you have any other ideas for options. If you use them with your students let me know how it works out!
If you would like your own set here are the links. If you blog or tweet about my task cards please reference where you got them from.
