Acute as a Button

Students will practice working with fractions in this activity. They will need to recognize when a fraction can be simplified - or when they can cross cancel prior to multiplication. With 16 expressions and 11 solutions, students will have a few tiles that are not matched up. The mismatched tiles are common mistakes students make when dividing fractions. They will know they made a mistake because they will either come to a dead end, or get the "end" tile too soon. This activity is translat

Perfect Back to School Activity! Finding an activity that has 100% buy in is tough. Telling students that they have to look up data, read tables, and do math calculations in their heads is always met with groans and mumbles. I’ve struggled with this every year EXCEPT during football season. My Math Fantasy Football unit has been my go-to activity from the beginning of my teaching career. Over the years it has grown into an 6 month activity that ends with a class Math Bowl on Super Bowl F

This activity asks students to convert between decimals and percentages. Offering three versions of the maze, students can practice three times - or you can differentiate and assign different versions to your class. (Keep reading for additional differentiation ideas.) Each maze has a mix of whole numbers and percentages to challenge your students from start to finish. Maze 1 focuses on converting decimals to percent equivalents. Maze 2 focuses on converting percentages into decimal equivalen

Converting between fractions, decimals and percentages utilizes many skills that students are trying to master: > Finding Equivalent Fractions with denominators of 10 or 100 > Recognizing decimal Place Values > Simplify Fractions > Finding Greatest Common Multiplies > Dividing or Multiplying by 100 > Mental Math Students are given 4 different numbers, in either fraction, decimal or percentage format. They then have to convert each number to the other two formats. Once

This activity asks students to match inequality statements to their corresponding graphs. Students will practice reading the graphs as they work through the deck of 12 inequality statements. Level 1 works with graphs that use only positive integers, while Level 2 uses a mix of positive and negative integers in the inequality cards. The levels are color coded so that you know, at a glance, which assignment your student is working on. Drag and Drop activities are a great way for students to pra

This is a digital resource that uses Google Sheets. Students will answer 12 questions about absolute value of integers to create their mystery image. In this case students start out with a whole apple; as they work they take bites out of their apple until all they are left with is an apple core. They will have to type their answer in the purple shaded box to the right of each question. If their answer is correct, a bite will be taken out of their apple. If they answer incorrectly, nothing w

This is a digital resource that uses Google Sheets. Students will answer 14 questions about absolute value of integers to create their mystery image, in this case a series of boxes following the rainbow of colors in reverse. They will have to type their answer in the purple shaded box to the right of each question. If their answer is correct, some of their mystery image will be revealed. If they answer incorrectly, nothing will happen. They can check their work and try again. Students will
