Math Problem of the Week
Problem Solving is the cornerstone of a successful math program. The following 25 problems can be used individually or with groups. A problem solving rubric is included to help assess a student's ability to communicate their understanding and mathematical processes. I have used these problems successfully in my 20 years as a middle school teacher, and I have grouped them according to strand. Enjoy!

Gallery Walk Activity - Solving Multistep Equations with Partners
Use this engaging activity for students to walk around the classroom with partners to solve multistep equations with parnters or groups of 3. Print each of the slides (10 in total) on cardstock paper. Post around the classroom. Students will walk around using their papers and solve the problems. These would be great “Building Thinking Classrooms” problems too. My suggestion is to begin class with some review warmups. Explain the lesson, then have kids walk around to solve each.

L.A.B.S Banner: Adding and Subtracting Decimals
This banner goes though the steps how to add and subtract decimals using the acronym L.A.B.S. This is a great visual for the students to see to remind them that they need to line up their decimal points before they add or subtract.
L.A.B.S. stands for "Line up your decimal points," "Add in zeros," "Bring down your decimal point," and "Solve." If the students remember to go through those steps before they attempt to solve the problem, they have a minimal chance of making mistakes. There are two
