Print and Digital Algebra Activities

In this post are some of the many printable algebra activities I've made over the years and their more recent digital updates. To date I have created over 200 digital math activities, many as updates to their original printable versions. Every digital version is either in Google Slides or Google Forms. You can see them all here.

Solving equations mix-match - digital version

Here is the digital version of a solving equations mix-match where students mix and match two sides of equations, then solve. In the digital version, students drag and drop the expression pieces to build their equations.

Above is the printable version of the same solving equations mix-match activity. Students cut out their slips, then build 25 equations to solve. 

Linear equations puzzle - digital version

This linear equations puzzle is digital in Google Slides. Students build 6 puzzles by matching their equations to their graphs. The equations are in point-slope, slope-intercept and standard forms. There are 3 puzzles on a slide so that students do not have to copy and paste from one slide to another.

Above is the printable version of the linear equations puzzle. Each digital version calls for a unique format and it's been a fun challenge figuring out the best way to add the new versions.

Domain and range sort - digital version

This domain and range sorting activity spans 5 slides so that it's chunked into manageable pieces. This format makes the activity more accessible for students working independently on the computer so that they do not have to switch between slides.

Both the paper and digital versions are in the same file so that you can choose which to give to your students and you always have access to both forms.

Quadratic word problems task cards - printable version

These quadratic word problems task cards were always a hit in my class. By the time we got though the activity, students had a solid understanding of when a word problem was asking for a zero or a vertex coordinate. Above is the printable version.

And the digital version of the quadratic word problems task cards are in Google Forms.

Linear equations digital math escape room

I've also made a few digital-only activities for algebra, like this linear equations digital math escape room. There are 5 puzzles in each escape room, each unlocked with a 4-letter code.

The digital escape room is set with answer validation so that students must enter the correct code to move on to the next puzzle. In this video preview, the first puzzle's code was entered correctly, but the second code wasn't. Students can keep trying until they get the right code by answering all questions correctly.

Graphing exponential functions - digital version

To update this graphing exponential functions activity, I made the Google Slides version a drag-and-drop matching activity. The paper version asks students to hand draw their graphs and fill in the parent and shifted tables.

Here is the digital version of a graphing linear inequalities matching activity:

And a closeup of part of its print version. Students match linear inequalities written in both standard and slope-intercept form to their graphs.

My bestselling algebra 1 word wall also got a digital update. Here is a portion of its printable version:

All of the algebra resources in this post are available separately and in this big Algebra Activities Bundle:

"There are so many resources, I love that there is a ton to choose from. The digital escape rooms are so much fun! My students love them. I love that they are self checking! — Julia P" 

"Such a comprehensive, engaging and value for money bundle as Shana is always updating resources. There are google slides and digital activities being added all the time. Students find the activities fun yet they are also learning cooperatively. I can't say enough about how Scaffolded Math and Science bundles are well worth the money. They are low prep as well. I seriously don't know how Shana creates so many good resources. She must never get to sleep! Thank you Shana." -Sarah M
