8th Grade Math Bell Ringers — Week 1
Five short warm-ups for 8th grade Math: the product, quotient, power, zero and negative rules. 20 items with a full answer key — one focused task a day, five to ten minutes at the start of the lesson.
What is in this week
Exponent Rules — the product, quotient, power, zero and negative rules. Every day is one focused task, four items, with the rule printed at the top of the page.
- Monday — Simplify, leaving each answer as a power.
- Tuesday — Simplify, leaving each answer as a power.
- Wednesday — Simplify, leaving each answer as a power.
- Thursday — Evaluate or rewrite each expression.
- Friday — Evaluate each power.
How to use it
Print the packet once and hand out one page a day, or project it. Students can start before the lesson begins because the rule they need is on the page. Friday is a cumulative check on the same focus. Mark them together on the board; these are a warm-up, not something to collect.
