Interactive Digital Math Activities

This is a long post jam-packed with ways to practice math digitally in your classroom. It has links to digital math activities and how to send them to students who are working on their devices. I also highlight some of the digital updates I have added to their printable versions, and to some new digital math escape rooms.

Solving equations mix-match

Since around April 2020, I've updated 100+ of my math activities to now also include links to interactive digital versions. The vast majority of the digital resources in this post come in both print and digital form within the same file so that you will have easy access to both formats.

Slope 4 Ways Puzzle - print and digital

In this post I show you how to send GOOGLE Slides and GOOGLE Forms to students, link you to updated math task cards that now have digital versions in their files, what the updated partner scavenger hunts look like on Google Slides and what solve 'n check! math tasks look like on Google Forms. 

1: Math Task Card Updates

It was long overdue that I updated all of my math tasks with digital links. This is something I should have done a ling time ago and am so happy to finally mark this giant task complete.

If you have any of my math task cards please check them for updates. My favorite thing about tpt is that all updates are always free and I am happy to say this includes all the Google updates I have recently added.

2: Partner Scavenger Hunts

This is what the Google Slides version of a digital partner scavenger hunt looks like with the update. 

The printable versions are still in all of the files, and links have been added to the files for the online versions. Now all of my partner scavenger hunt math activities include links to interactive Google Slides versions.

How the new Google Slides versions work:

But wait, what IS a partner scavenger hunt?
Partner Scavenger Hunts were designed for pairs of students to work together but they can also be used as independent work. The nice thing about the activities is that they are self-checking either way.
Both partners place their start slips at 1 o'clock. They then solve their unique problems on that slip. Problems are different but answers are the same, encouraging lots of math conversations especially when their answers differ!
Once students arrive at a solution, they then place the slip with this solution on it into the next blank space and solve its problem.
The activity continues like this until all slips are placed. If all problems were solved correctly, the answer on the start slip will match the problem that was placed on the slip placed at 11 o'clock. Here is a video explaining how partner scavenger hunts work. You can see all of my Partner Scavenger hunts here:

(*If you already own any of these activities, please re-download to find the new Google Slides links.)

3: Solve 'n Check! Math Tasks

Every one of my Solve 'n Check math tasks is now also on Google Forms. The original files were updated with the new links so you'll still have the printable paper versions along with the new Google Forms.

The added links inside will bring you to a Google Form that you can edit, although is good to go as is. When you are ready, click "SEND" in the top right corner to send the Form to students to complete the cards activity. You do not have to have a Google Classroom for this; you can send the Form to students via email. Above is what the form looks like from the teacher side. Below is what the form looks like to students. 
When you send the Form to students to complete their activity, they will first see this screen reminding them how solve 'n check cards work and to grab some  scrap paper and a pencil. They'll enter their name on the bottom and push "Next".

What is a solve 'n check math task?
These cards are self-checking, even with the printable version. Students solve both equations on the card then check their answers with the check equation in the bottom right corner.
There are 20 cards in each solve 'n check activity. I also linked with the update a shorter activity of just the first 10 cards if you'd rather send that one to students. Students do their work on scrap paper and enter their answers in the two spaces provided.

At the end of the activity when students submit their answers, you can see them by toggling to the "Responses" tab on your form. You can see all of my updated Solve 'n Check math tasks here:

4: "Shop The!" Digital Activities

My family thought I was a little nuts carrying fruit and other food items into the basement to photograph. To be honest, I felt a little nuts! But I enjoyed taking the photos and creating a few "Shop the!" math activities to help students with percents.

I also took photos of toys and other things around the house for a Shop the Thrift Store digital math activity.

5: Digital Math Escape Rooms

Digital math escape rooms

To meet the needs of classrooms with technology, I have been making extra-engaging and super-fun digital math escape rooms. Each escape room is housed in one GOOGLE Form with no links to outside websites, making them very easy to assign to students. This was important to me to do so that students could focus on the math and so that you wouldn't need to spend any time troubleshooting.

6: Digital Algebra

Graphing Linear Inequalities Match - digital version

Most of my algebra activities are now available in print and digital form in the same files. If you teach algebra or algebra 2, I have a couple discounted bundles of printable + digital activities and resources:

7: How to send Google Forms and Google Slides to Students

If you have never sent Google activities to students, I wrote two posts that easily walk you through both processes:

How to send digital word walls (in Google Slides)

8: Drag-and-drop Google Slides

Activities in Google Slides are all drag-and-drop, which makes them feel almost like their paper counterparts (just with no cutting).

The digital poster above is a Google update to my parallel lines cut by a transversal poster. You can use this digital version to teach students online or as a student practice activity. It comes in both print and digital form.

This slope sorting activity is a digital update to a paper activity that I have had on my site for a while. It comes in both print and digital form.

This linear equations puzzle also comes in both print and digital in the same file. 

I updated this domain and range matching activity with a digital version on Google Slides. On each slide are 4 relations and and 5 slips to match. Once all are matched, students will have one slip left over. This ups the difficulty just a bit while also being mindful of those kids who are working at home alone. It comes in both print and digital form.

As I figure out the best ways to update each print resource to include digital links, I will update the original files so that they will include both versions. 

9: Digital math word walls

I have updated all of my math word walls to now include both print and interactive digital versions. The digital word walls were built in Google Slides and can also be downloaded as PowerPoint files and still be interactive.

Here is the digital update to the 6th Grade Math Word Wall. The Slides are changing because I am using the mouse to click on each image from the home screen. You can add to the whiteboards on each slide to deliver instruction to your kids working online. Or, students can use as-is. More about these print + digital math word walls can be found here:

MATH WORD WALLS

I also created a free pack of virtual math classroom décor to hang in your virtual classroom, if you have one. This "Why I Can Do Math" virtual bulletin board image is included as a way to boost student confidence.
