32 playing cards covering PEMDAS using Integers and positive and negative decimals and fractions. There are 16 cards with just integers, 8 with a combination of fractions and integers, and 8 with a combination of decimals and integers. Use it to review or as a math center. Print on card stock and laminate. All operations are included.

Students can practice converting repeating decimals to fractions and differentiating between similar terminating decimals by completing this puzzle. Students will change decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals then match them to their equivalent counterpart. Similar decimals such as 0.5555... and 0.5 or 0.8333... and 0.8383... are included so students must really pay attention to detail. I have also included 0.6666... and 0.66666667 since this is a commonly confused repeating decimal t

Blank Frayer Model vocabulary template for use in interactive notebooks. Allows for the word and ISN page to be written in the middle, student definition, class definition, examples, and counter examples. Cut, fold in half, and glue in notebooks.

Great for partners or math centers. 12 Word problems and their equations and solutions. Match each word problem to its corresponding equation. Students then solve the equation and match it to its solution. There are fake equations included if you would like to give your students more of a challenge.

Adding and subtracting fractions sequence game allows your students to practice adding and subtracting fractions, mixed numbers, and whole numbers with like and and unlike denominators and with and without regrouping. The game can be played with two players or two teams of two players. Players must solve their problem then place a chip on the answer space on the board. The first team to get two 5-in-a-row's wins! Aligned to CCSS 5.NF.1, great for math centers!

Two-door foldable for your interactive notebook for changing repeating fractions to decimals aligned with CCSS 8.NS.1 This does NOT teach the algebraic way of doing this. It does teach students to place one 9 in the denominator per repeating digit when the entire decimal repeats. There is also an alternative method for when only a portion of the decimal repeats. I have found better success with this method than the algebraic method.

Foldable for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions and decimals. The steps are already typed out inside each door, and there is space for you to write your own example or examples with your students. Great for reviewing or for introducing the topic.

CUBES is a problem solving strategy that I have implemented into my classroom with great success. This companion sheet requires students to think intentionally about each step in the CUBES process and explain their thinking. This has improved problem solving in my classroom tremendously.

Posters to help your students remember the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers. Includes the verbiage "keep change change" for subtracting, "same signs add; different signs subtract" for adding, and the bad person/good person bad thing/good thing analogy for multiplying and dividing.

3 options for student and 2 options for teacher data trackers for 8th grade Common Core math as well as printable I Can statements for your math focus wall. This file includes a spreadsheet for the teacher to keep track of student performance, one for students to keep track of their individual performance, and a CCSS check sheet for you to keep track of what resources are aligned with each standard and check when you have covered them. Unlike the individual data tracker downloads, this file has

This foldable introduces special cases/identifying number of solutions to linear equations in a visual way. Students are given balanced scales with a given value on either or both sides. Students must choose one number that can be placed into every remaining box on the scale to keep it balanced. Some scales will be satisfied by only one value, others will be satisfied by any value, and others will not be satisfied by any value. Students will then write an equation for each scale, solve it algeb

Student and teacher data trackers for 8th grade Common Core math. This file includes a spreadsheet for the teacher to keep track of student performance, one for students to keep track of their individual performance, and a CCSS check sheet for you to keep track of what resources are aligned with each standard and check when you have covered them. There are three versions of the student tracker and two versions of the teacher tracker included: Student Version 1: Have students rate and date in t

This form can be used for your students to request a test or quiz retake. This is a PDF file because of the fonts. This is used with my SBG tracker sheets. Students must list what went wrong, what they did to fix it, and up to two learning targets to retest.

18 task cards for the following laws of exponents: Product Quotient Power to a Power Integer Zero Includes multiple operations and rules in the same card. Can also be used for scoot. Follows CCSS 8.EE.1 and can be used for 8th grade or Math I/Algebra.

20 Task cards covering Pythagorean Theorem including: *Determining if given measures make a right triangle (4 cards) *Finding the hypotenuse using Pythagorean Theorem (4 cards) *Finding the leg using Pythagorean Theorem (4 cards) *Solving word problems using Pythagorean Theorem (8 cards) Includes whole number answers and answers requiring the estimation of irrational numbers.

Student and teacher data trackers for 8th grade Common Core math. This file includes a spreadsheet for the teacher to keep track of student performance, one for students to keep track of their individual performance, and a CCSS check sheet for you to keep track of what resources are aligned with each standard and check when you have covered them. Have students rate and date in their tracker when you begin a unit. You can do this by having them pretest or self assess. 4=no mistakes ever, 3=some

This 10 question activity reviews rational and irrational numbers, perfect squares and cubes, simple quadratics, and repeating decimals. Included are problems asking students to find the length of the side or the surface area/volume of a cube given other information. With each answer choice is a word. Write the word that is associated with the answer choice into the blanks on the answer sheet for a funny story. This is similar to the Mad-Lib game played in language arts classes. Great for revie

32 multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction of numbers written in scientific notation task cards or matching cards. Recording sheet included for both. Use this for CCSS 8.EE.4. Great for Math Centers, Math Workshop, group work, partners, or independent practice. Includes like and unlike exponents.

180 vocabulary words to use as a part of your word wall and/or daily standards display. These are aligned with my data trackers and I Can statements but can be used on their own as well.
