Every algebra activity in this post now comes in both printable and digital form (within the same file) to meet the needs of distance, in-person and hybrid learning. Over the last few months, I have been updating my printable algebra activities to now also include links to interactive digital versions so that you will have what you need no matter how students are learning.
This was a long time coming and really should have happened ages ago. But I have embraced the change, got on board with digital, and now, well, totally love it. For one-- color! All colors are a go with digital! And since students are accessing their classwork more and more online, anyway, covid or not, I've even been able to make some super-engaging, full-color, digital-only algebra activities, like these digital math escape rooms.

I've also made a few digital-only activities for algebra, like this linear equations digital escape room. I figure that even when students are back in their classrooms, these will be fun paperless math activities for students.

Algebra Activities Bundle w/ digital updates |
I also added a virtual algebra word wall into the same file as the printable version.
The bundle includes an Algebra Word Wall that comes both in print and interactive digital in the same file.

Do you have 7th grade word wall virtual yet? Thanks so much for all you do!!
ReplyDeleteI will be working on making all of the word walls virtual this summer:)
DeleteUpdate: it's updated! :)
DeleteHi, I just purchased a bunch of your activities. I'm not quite sure how to use the ones that are GoogleSlides with my remote learners. How do I assign it. We don't use Google classroom, we use Schoology. I was able to copy the links of the Escape Rooms to share with students.
ReplyDeleteThank you for asking this, I should have covered this in my post. Once you are in one of the Google Slides activities, you can "download as" and choose PowerPoint. The pieces will still move just as they do in Google Slides.
DeleteSorry, but I guess I'm technology challenged. How do I share it with individual students. Also, I'm using one of the escape room tomorrow. I put the link on Schoology for my students and it seems to work. Where do I see the data of who completed it, how do I access that?
DeleteOn the second page of the escape room file are directions for sending to students. Sending a Google Form to students is not the same as sharing Google Slides. You need to choose "send" from the teacher copy of the Form.
DeleteSo I can't just share the link with kids. We don't have Google classroom so I shared a link on Schoology. It works for kids to use but I didn't know how to see the data. That is for the Escape Room.
ReplyDeleteThe second question was how I share the one that is Google Slides with kids but I think I figured it out.
Google Forms don't work the same way as Google Slides. If you share the Form, there is no way for students to complete the assignment. Forms need to be sent. The directions inside the PDF explain the process. You click "send" and you can choose to get a link for Schoology, send via email or embed. To see student data, you'll go back into your teacher version (the one you made a copy of from the PDF) and there will be a "Responses" tab at the top.
DeleteThank you. That's what I did for the Escape Room today. I see the tab for responses. When I open it, there aren't any.
ReplyDeleteI think I know what's happening. I made and copied the link on my home computer and I'm at school. I'll check when I get home
ReplyDeleteOh that could be it. If you need it on your school computer, you can either make a new copy from the link inside the PDF or share your home copy with your school email address.
DeleteThat was it. I'm looking at responses. Does it show me all of the responses or just the ones who completed all 5 puzzles?
DeleteBecause the Form is set to answer validation, it'll just show the ones who complete all 5. That's when the "submit" button will appear. It would be cool if this changes, but I believe this is how it is for now. A workaround for kids who may not finish in one sitting is to have them jot down on paper the codes they already find so that when they sit with the activity again they can quickly retype these codes before moving on to the puzzles they hadn't yet gotten to.
