Linear Functions Boom Cards

File for the Post: Linear Functions Boom Cards

I am sure most of us have had those teaching days where students are done with the lesson and there are still 15-20 minutes left of class. Meanwhile, you’re just HOPING an administrator won’t do a walkthrough lol…. Introducing Boom cards! Boom cards offer an interactive and self-checking way to practice an assigned set of skills. You can assign Boom Cards to your students (paid version) or you can provide them with a Fast Play link (free version).

This last Tuesday, my students flew through the lesson and we had about 20 minutes left of class. I didn't want to waste any instructional time so I assigned students this Boom card set over Linear functions. I just wanted to give students extra practice so we did the Fast Play link. 

Results: Algebra 1 students LOVED the immediate feedback of Boom cards. Every student was engaged and when they didn't get the correct answer, they would raise their hand to ask for help. I am planning to create a huge set of Boom cards for Algebra 1 as a “backup“ for whenever we have extra time in class. (I'm on the Boom card wagon now lol)

If you want to use the following Boom cards, the questions are over the following: 

• Card 1: Finding slope/rate of change from a table
• Card 2: Identifying zero of a graph
• Card 3: Identifying y-intercept of a graph
• Card 4: Finding slope of a graph
• Card 5: Rate of change and y-intercept of a graph
• Card 6: Finding slope from two points
• Card 7: Writing equation in slope-intercept form given 2 points
• Card 8-9: Identifying slope from equation in slope-intercept form
• Card 10-11: Identifying slope and equations from horizontal and vertical lines
• Card 12-13: Identifying equation in from a graph
• Card 14: Identifying zero and y-intercept from a graph

I am new to Boom cards so any suggestions or hints would be appreciated! :)
