Algebra activities for the hybrid learning classroom

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. 

It's been a lot of work, but I feel really good about these updates. It means that you can continue to use my algebra activities if we're remote or even if you'd just rather save paper. All of the updates I've made are to existing printable resources, so it you already have any of them, the digital updates are 100% free. Each PDF file includes the original printable activity and now also a link to its digital version (inside the PDF). If you already own any of the activities, you can get the new digital links for free just by re-downloading.
These updates were something I should have done a long ago, and it feels great to finally be making them happen. As of today, I have created or updated over 150 math activities to digital! That number is mind-boggling to me and is still growing. 

Solving Equations Mix-Match (digital version)

If you have my Algebra Activities Bundle and have not re-downloaded in a while, you'll find that most of the activities in it now have been updated with digital links. So please re-download! I am excited to get these to you. And more to come! Below are some of the algebra activities I've updated...

Solving Equations Mix-Match (printable version)

Above is one of the digital activities now in the bundle. It's a solving equations mix-match activity where students build 25 equations to solve. This was a very old algebra activity in my store, so it felt extra good to update it with a digital version.

Linear Equations Puzzle (digital version)

This activity here is a linear equations puzzle, now also in GOOGLE Slides. Students match 3 puzzles on each slide. This way students do not have to copy and paste from one slide to another. This is a photo of the paper version also in the file so that you can choose which to give to students:

Each algebra activity I've updated has been calling for a unique format and it's been a fun challenge figuring out the best way to add the versions.

Domain and Range Sort (digital version)

This Domain and Range sorting activity spans 5 slides so that it is chunked into manageable pieces. This format makes the activity more accessible for students working independently on the computer.

Domain and Range Sort (printable version)

Back in the classroom, students can collaborate in groups to discuss and complete the activity on paper. Both the paper and digital versions are in the same file so that you can choose which to give to your students and have access to both forms.

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.

Slope Sort (digital version)

Above is the new interactive digital version of this Slope Sorting Activity. While I was in the file, I also updated the printable version. I have done this for all of the math activities I have updated (over 100 so far!). I polished up the printable versions while adding the links to the interactive digital versions.

Some of the algebra activities aren't the most straightforward to update with digital versions. In Algebra 2 we'd do a lot of hand-graphing, which doesn't translate all that well to GOOGLE. So I turned it into a matching activity for the digital version.

Graphing Exponential Functions (digital version)

To update this graphing exponential functions activity, I made the GOOGLE Slides version a matching activity. The paper version (below) is a graphing activity where students graph the functions by hand and fill in the parent and shifted tables. This activity is in both my Algebra and Algebra 2 activity bundles.

Graphing Exponential Functions (printable version)

Having both the printable ad digital versions will be helpful if you have some students in class and others online, for make-up work when a student is absent, for saving paper, for flipped classrooms and for students who need either digital or printed form.

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.
