In this activity, the students work in groups. The students shoot paper balls into a bucket. They determine the fraction they got in the bucket and then divide their fraction by the fraction given.
This PowerPoint teaches the students how to multiply fractions through the use of fraction tiles as well as rectangular shading. It makes it very simple. I have added a think, pair, share in the lesson as well as a challenge problem if the
This PowerPoint brings the students throughout the entire fraction division lesson where the students use fraction tiles, kinesthetically show fraction division, create a fraction division song, and play fraction division basketball.
This lesson went amazingly with my students. They could show three different ways to solve for fraction multiplication and understood that the fraction gets smaller when multiplied by another fraction.
This PowerPoint was used in a lesson I was observed for and was a hit! It begins with a bell ringer word problem, then challenges the students to think about the order we do problems in. It then goes into PEMDAS and a song to the tune of the cupid
This is a GREAT activity for the new Common Core standards. The students have to tell if the problem is correct or not and also show why the problem is wrong.
This lesson has an olympic theme where the students will go through three olympic events to practice their skill. The first event is an inequality symbol memory game. The next event is an event called race to the finish where the students will
This is a great activity to incorporate diversity! I grouped by students into high, medium, and low groups. All students worked on the challenge problem (#1) in their groups. After solving the challenge problem, the low students worked on numbers
Students work in groups for this activity. They roll the dice three times in order to get three numbers. They must use the order of operations to get those three numbers to equal 10. They also cannot just simply add up the numbers. Different
This lesson went great with my students! The students will need fraction tiles for the beginning of this lesson. There is also a visual demonstration of what happens when you divide fractions. The students then play a basketball activity (on my
This handout allows students to write the steps to creating an equation/inequality. It also shows students all the different names they need to know when dealing with inequality signs.
Students will create equations/inequalities for each of the sentences. Once they have created an equation/inequality, the students can look at the PowerPoint (free on my page) to select the correct letter.
This was a hit with my 7th graders! As soon as the music came on the students danced around the room, leaving their sheet on their desk. Once the music stopped, the students go to another desk and solve the first problem. After the time limit is
This PowerPoint contains bell ringers, group work, and individual work. Then, the PowerPoint goes into an olympic theme where the students will go through three olympic events to practice their skill. The first event is an inequality symbol memory
