Math 8 Mid-Year Spiral Review Scavenger Hunt

This is an assignment to get your students spiraling concepts from the first half of the year. This is great to use as a semester review before winter break, post winter break, or post spring break. I have also used this as test prep for the state test review as well. The assignment is set up for scaffolded review of concepts already learned. Students start at any task card in the room, answer the question and find their answer on another task card located somewhere in the room. Then, they continue this process until all 20 questions have been answered.

This spiral review includes the following skills:

• Combining like terms
• Solving multi-step equations
• Determining a Function from a table and set of points
• Identifying slope (rate of change) and y-intercept from an equation and graph
• Graphing a system of equation in slope-intercept form and finding the solution
• Identifying proportional and non-proportional relationships from a graph and a word problem.
• Angle relationships: Specifically, alternate interior angles, corresponding, and supplementary angles. Setting up the correct equation, solving for the x variable, and plugging back into the expression in order to find the angle measurements.
• Proportions with similar figures
• Interior angle theorem (with expressions) and exterior angle theorem (with expressions)- setting up the equation and solving.
• Pythagorean Theorem, identifying right triangles by leg lengths, finding distance on a coordinate plane using Pythagorean Theorem.
• Transformations: Translations, Rotations, Reflections, Dilation, Scale Factor
