Description

Looking for a way to get your middle school math students to compare and order positive rational numbers? In this activity, students will use their knowledge of whole numbers, fractions (proper and improper), mixed numbers, decimals, and percents to answer the questions on 20 task cards ( Please note: knowledge of exponents is also required for this activity). More specifically, students will…

• Determine which value is farthest to the left or right when a set of numbers is plotted on the number line

• Identify the largest or smallest value in a number set

• Determine whether or not various numbers are greater than or less than a given value

• Determine whether or not a number is within a certain range

• Determine whether or not a number is outside a certain range

• Arrange a list of numbers from least to greatest

• Arrange a list of numbers from greatest to least

There are so many ways to use task cards in the classroom. I have included a few of my favorite ways to use them in the preview of this product, but feel free to use the cards however you would like!

This resource has 20 task cards (4 per page), a 2-page student activity sheet, and an answer key! Check out the preview to see EVERY question in this resource.

This was on the more difficult side for my 6th graders. I'd say this is better for 7th and up.

My grade 7s enjoy doing task cards. These were good for reviewing skills we practiced before moving to more complex fraction work.

I used this as a group work activity with my 8th graders, we did not have all that much time but I think this challenged them a ton and made them think about how to compare the values. Most of them only got to number 4 but I still liked seeing them overcome their struggles when I told them answers were incorrect.
