Description
Count on a fun day as students apply their proportional reasoning skills using multiplication patterns (horizontal, vertical, cross) and calculate unit rates. This is a highly engaging task, as it provides collaborative motivation to complete the practice problems... every students' worksheet is a small part of the large flag mosaic!
Every student has different problems allowing them to engage in meaningful math conversations without copying.
They use their answers to decode the colour-key, allowing them to colour in their sections of the mystery mosaic .
INCLUDED (.pdf and editable .docx everything):
◾ 3 mosaic sizes (16, 25, and 32) to accommodate different class sizes
◾ Teaching Tips page with detailed directions so you look awesome pulling off this activity!
◾ Complete answer keys for all mosaic sizes, providing the numeric solutions for all worksheets
PRODUCT DETAILS:
◾ All worksheets have 12 problems, and every worksheet is different (individual accountability) The first 6 involve solving basic proportions, while the last 6 involve unit rate calculations.
◾ Each worksheet contains a randomized answer list at the bottom allowing students to check their answers before colouring. (self-assessment)
Be sure the check out the whole Collaborative Math Mosaic directory, sorted by topic!
The student buy-in factor is HUGE with these worksheets; they all want to see the finished picture come together!
Leave the picture a secret or show it for motivation… it’s your call.
All my colouring worksheets use standard pencil-crayon colours found in the Crayola 24 pack. For best results, encourage DARK colouring, and stick to one colouring medium. (i.e. don't mix pencil crayons with markers with finger paint!) Perhaps a class set of pencil crayons would be a fun math department investment!
Feedback, a top-star rating, suggestions, and frontline stories are always welcomed!
Thanks for checking this out!
