Our first skill of the first unit in Algebra 1 was over four key words: absolute value, reciprocal, opposite, and opposite reciprocal. We completed a frayer model for each word.
This year, I am pre-printing the words on the frayer models. In years past, I had so many students forget to write the word in the center. That’s the most important part!

Here are close-ups of each Frayer model.
