Sometimes students have a hard time applying their knowledge of the GCF and LCM to a real world situation. I noticed that my students could easily solve for the GCF and LCM when they are told WHAT to solve for, but when a real-world situation came around, they didn't know when or which one to use. I wanted to make math meaningful beyond the test, hence the creation of these task cards & sort! In this set, there are now 20 word problems of GCF and LCM situations. Students will need to read th

A fun and different way of getting your students to practice identifying equivalent expressions! This activity gets your students matching and simplifying equivalent expressions. For example, students would have to match that 2 + 5x + 3y + x + y is equal to 2(3x + 2y + 1). It is aligned to the CCSS 6.EE.4, and requires that students be able to combine like terms and simplify expressions. All variables are to the first power (no squared, cubed, etc. terms). There are 18 matches (36 expressio

Ratio Sort:Students sort equivalent ratios into groups based on

Give your students a reason behind the use of integers. These 20 task cards allow your students to see that the use of positive and negative numbers has a purpose outside of their math homework! 16 of the cards give students a situation and ask them to write the integer to represent that situation. The final 4 cards give students an integer and ask them to write a situation to represent it. An answer key and recording sheet are included to make it quick and easy to assess students. I like t

Vocabulary in math is so important for students to learn, but they don't like studying it!
