A Collection of Card Sorts: Sorting Solutions

Students match solutions to equations. The intent is to test whether a value is a solution rather than "solving" the equations. Sorts become progressively more challenging, including division, exponents, fractions and decimals. Each slide also include some "imposters" that do not fit with any set. Assign a single sort or use them all. Students are notified when they have sorted correctly. (CL coding idea courtesy of David Petros) Allow successful students to act as "advisors" to others until most of the class has correctly completed the task.
