Description
Give your students meaningful challenge work with this set of 9 critical thinking math extension activities focused on integers and rational numbers.
Each activity is designed to move beyond basic computation and push students to think strategically, justify their reasoning, and apply math concepts in non-routine ways.
Unlike traditional worksheets, these tasks require students to:
- Analyze and interpret mathematical situations
- Apply knowledge of integers and rational numbers in deeper contexts
- Think flexibly and explain their reasoning
- Engage in open-ended problem solving
Each of the 9 activities is provided on its own page and is delivered as an editable Google Doc, making it easy for teachers to adapt, modify, or assign digitally.
⚠️ Note: These activities are designed to encourage mathematical reasoning and may have multiple valid approaches or answers. A traditional answer key is not included for this reason.
