Number Sentences - Equations

This is a very simple sorting activity where students are given expressions & equations and the sentence to describe them and have to match them up. This is meant to be an activity that is relatively quick. The first sort is common to all students and is an open sort. The idea is that students are to sort in any way (though our intent is to sort them into equations and expressions). After that there are three sorts that are all very similar to each other so you may wish to break students up into groups and assigning different sorts to each group. In each sort there are some equations that have no match. Students will have to create their own sentences following the sort. Each sort is self checking and will indicate to the student if they have been sorted correctly For a the more traditional "hands on" version click here http://engaging-math.blogspot.ca/2016/02/number-sentences.html
