This resource includes over 40 pages of 8th grade math essential questions. There are 2 ways that you can use my resource: (1) GOOGLE SLIDES and (2) POWERPOINT. You can choose whichever one works best for your classroom.
Students will be typing in the definition of various 8th grade math vocabulary terms. In addition, they will be researching the answer to the essential question. They will solve problems and create their own problem. This is set up very student friendly!
The essential questions are given below!
