=Evaluating Expressions=

- Very basic powerpoint...focus on the differences between -x^2 and (-x)^2 - Cut out and glued on cardstock with the expressions on one side and the solutions on the other. Students roll a six sided die...if it lands on 5 they evaluate the expression twice...once for 5 and once for -5. They can check their answers on the back of the card. Around the world is a set of problems that can be hung up around the room. Students then walk around and solve them. I like to have them check answers with me as they find them so I know they are on the right track. If students are absent or need more time I can print these with a "6 to a page" option and it covers the front and back of one paper.
