Description
Card sorts encourage students to do what we value most: talk and reason. Beyond simple matching, card sorts allow students to classify, rank, sequence, and map out ideas, creating a natural context for critical thinking and discussion. Join me for a series of math-focused card sorts where students will engage in activities like sorting equations by type, sequencing steps for solving multi-step problems, analyzing characteristics of graphs, and collaborating to solve clothesline math problems. This easy-to-prep tool will help students deepen their understanding of math concepts, fostering algebraic reasoning, graph analysis, and collaborative problem-solving skills.
