The purpose of the 8th Grade Exponents Activities Bundle is to give students an opportunity to use creativity to demonstrate mastery of the concepts governing exponential and radical operations. This bundle includes four unique tasks: Exponents & Radicals Board Game, Exponents & Radicals Vocabulary Wheel, Exponents & Radicals Matrix, and the Scientific Notation Board Game. These activities and their accompanying materials are suited for students in grades 8 through 10. These lessons make excellent sub plans. Each project takes 90-minutes to two-hours to complete. The Exponents & Radicals Board Game and the Scientific Notation Board Game are extremely similar but include materials that are specific to the individual topic. Teachers will want to choose one or the other to use with their class.

 What other teachers are saying …

“This was an amazing activity for my 8th grade algebra students. The games they produced were spectacular. They were engaged for 3 full days! Playing was even better. After they made them we played as a form of Study Guide before assessment and they could not get enough of it! Am looking forward to using this idea again!” -Brains on STEM (Scientific Notation Board Game)

“My kids loved the music and nature options!” - Kylee F (Exponents & Radicals Activities Project)

“I really enjoyed watching my students dig into this project. They were so engaged I felt like I had the day off. We got to know each other better and the presentations were a hoot!” - Elaine W. (Exponents & Radicals Activities Project)

“I used this as a project for my students to create a radical review game. I took the advice from the seller and had students play these in class before I took them up to grade them. Students were very creative and it was easy to see who had put forth effort and who had not. Overall it was a huge success and students found their mistakes during the playing of the games, which was an awesome review before their test.” - Syrena C. (Exponents & Radicals Board Game)
