Math Readers' Theater for Word Problems
This twist on traditional math word problems integrates reading and fluency skills with math skills in a fun, cooperative way. Students can act out the word problems that are in each script and they must decide on the number sentences or equations that express each problem. They can also write their own word problem based on the script that summarizes all the math action. Great for whole group, small group, or tutoring groups. Have some math manipulatives on hand such as play money and color

The Magic Function Machine - Cracking Input-Output Function Rules Web Game Demo
The Magic Function Machine is an interactive, gamified single-file HTML web application designed to demystify one of the most foundational concepts in algebra: the function. Instead of introducing functions through cold equations like f(x) = x + 2, this tool reimagines the concept as a physical, bright steampunk candy factory machine. Students feed "raw numbers" into the top of the machine, watch the gears churn, and observe the "wrapped candy numbers" that emerge from the conveyor belt below. B
