Buy on TPT →This Christmas and winter-themed pixel art activity is a fantastic way for your middle school students to practice simplifying expressions using the distributive property and combining like terms. With two Google Sheets that cater to different levels of difficulty, it's perfect for differentiation in your sixth, seventh, or eighth-grade classroom. I've seen teachers successfully use it for sub plans, independent practice, group activities, and even quiz reviews. Plus, it aligns with CCSS 6.EE.A.3 and 7.EE.A.1 standards, making it both fun and educational!
Engage your students with this Christmas and winter themed pixel art activity (2 google sheets) as they practice simplify expressions using distributive property and combining like terms! This resources includes two levels of difficulty, which makes it ideal for differentiation. Teachers have used it for sub plans, independent practice, group activities, as well as quiz/assessment reviews.
Level 1 contains 12 problems using the distributive property (positive and negative coefficients). Level 2 contains 12 problems using the distributive property and combining like terms to simplify expressions.
This resource requires students to know how to multiply negative integers, as some coefficients are negative. For the version with positive integers only, click here.
Each activity is a self-checking Google Sheet with a unique image. Students practice a series of problems, and get immediate feedback as they go. Correct answers turn green and incorrect answers stay red. As students type in correct answers, a mystery picture appears. The Google Sheets are all self checking & digital, so it can easily be assigned through Google Classroom or any online learning platform.
In addition, an optional printable PDF worksheets (2 pages) with questions and work space is included for students to show work on paper prior to typing in solutions on the google sheets.
