2nd Act Math

Six slides can be printed as posters to hang as visual reminders for students that struggle with fraction operations. Anchor charts, reference, remediation, visuals, struggling learners Topics Include: comparing fractionschanging fractions to decimals and percentschanging mixed number to improper fractionsadding & subtracting fractionsmultiplying fractionsdividing fractions

As intro to systems of equations, we complete the interactive note sheets together as a class looking for the “break-even” point for the two different gym scenarios. Students are introduced to finding the solution through a table, graph and by setting the equations equal to each other. The follow-up practice is the group activity. Students are put in groups of three. They are given the same scenarios, but each group member solves each a different way. Group members then compare answers to be sur

For this activity, you will need a friendship bracelet kit, or at least 6 different colored beads and string. An alternate would be to make paper loop bracelets to hang on a bulletin board. This activity is great for the first days of school.  I have used it during Advisory, and during classes.  The slide is completely editable, so you can change/refresh the topics or questions. Directions: I group students in inner and outer circles.  Each circle contains 6 students.  I have my students stand

Want a game them can be used as a get to know you, beginning of school activity, or as an any time of year deeper dive into how well you know each other with the added plus of being a number sense and/or two-way table activity? Then, this is for you. Game Directions: After hearing the category, each student will make a guess at the percent of students in class that chose that category. After making your guess, you will write it on the whiteboard and stand. When the correct percentage is reveale

Looking for a fun way for students to gather data? Then, try this tongue twister activity! Students work in a group and time each other saying different length tongue twisters 10 times each. Once they have the data collected, they can use Google Sheets (step-by-step directions provided) to make a scatterplot and insert a trend line. They can then use the line or equation to make a prediction about how long it should take them to say a longer tongue twister 10 times. Finally, they will test

Getting photos of your students for back to school bulletin boards? Use those photos for an engaging activity that looks at how well sites predict ages based on photos. There are many sites that will do this as well as filters within common apps students use. Students will first line up in actual chronological age. Their order (1st, 2nd...) will represent the x-coordinate in an ordered pair. Then, student will line up chronologically based on the sites age calculator. Their new order (1st,

This sheet is designed to be a quick warm-up or exit slip to check students understanding of simplifying radicals. If they enter the correct numbers, a rainbow of colors will form.

Print these pages to hang on a bulletin board. The visual reminder will help students automatize fraction equivalents.
