This apostrophe bundle provides extra practice for students who need supplemental grammar review. These colorful activities can be used as test prep, morning work, warm ups, and end-of-year grammar evaluation. The digital resource packet also can be used for Montessori grammar and ESL students. The lessons have students practice correcting grammar errors to improve writing or to prepare for assessments by making a game out of English instruction. Possessive nouns are included.
This card game is played like regular Rummy except instead of using the normal suits (diamond, spade, heart, clubs), the suits are x, x squared, y, y squared, and xy. Matches are only allowed with like terms so that instead of a normal Rummy play of a 2,3,4 of hearts, students must play 2x, 3x, and 4x for example. Cards are color coded to aid students who are struggling.
This is a great way to keep the class engaged with a fun activity while still reinforcing an important Algebraic concept. Wonderful game to play as a reward when students have finished their end-of-year testing. Works best in small groups. Can be used for review, remediation, or just to put a little variety in the classroom.
In order to tally scores at the end of each hand, students will also practice their basic math computation skills. Sure to add some excitement and competition to your day!
Enjoy!

Next, students are asked to draw the meanings as a mnemonic device. Then, students are given a list of words that use these roots and asked to write a paragraph using as many of those words as possible. Finally, there is a short matching quiz followed by a review of the entire lesson.
