Systems of Linear Equations Sorting Activity

Systems of Linear Equations & Their Solutions - Practice / Review:

This activity will help your students connect the big picture ideas of systems of linear equations. They will classify each system as having one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions using cards with a mix of equations, word phrases, and graphs.

Here is what's included:
- 4 quick - fold pockets to hold sorted cards
- 40 sorting cards (mix of systems of equations, word phrases, and graphs)
- 4 "answer cards" that list which cards should be in each pocket
- optional "sorting mat" to offer an alternative format (great for group work or learning stations)

Students will cut out and sort the cards into the correct pocket. The pockets fit well on an interactive notebook page.

Then, hand out the answer/check cards. After students have verified that their cards were sorted correctly, the answer cards can be tucked into the back of each pocket. Students can re-do the activity as a review at any time.

Reviews from other Teachers:

- I love this product. I used it with my students at the beginning of our unit on systems of equations, then I used it again at the end of the unit. I appreciate the different representations on the cards. These really made my students think and they liked the activity. I actually used them during my formal observation and the principal commented on how engaged the students were. Additionally, because there are different representations of the types of solutions, I could differentiate the expectations for the students.

- Students liked working in small groups to complete this activity.
