Abstract
Class warm up activity to be done in pairs. Students evaluate each of 8 terms and rank them from lowest to highest value. Some terms may have equal value.
I have found that this is surprisingly challenging for most of my students. Bonus points can be given to the first team to complete the task correctly. No calculators allowed!
