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

Finding ways for students to get creative in math class can be tough. This project gives your students a chance to play with color, fonts, and to look at their names in a different way. The Name Art Project is set up to be used with Google Slides BUT you can modify the activity and have students do their names on paper! Just print out the alphabet for them to reference - or trace - give them a sheet or two of paper, and let them get creative. This project is a fun way to review angle and geom

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

Students will practice using the distributive property as they simplify expressions on their Answer Tiles. With 16 Tiles and only 12 solutions, students will have a few tiles that are not matched up. This deck only works with positive integers, but translated copies of the activity are provided for ELL students. This activity is translated into Portuguese (green card), Spanish (red card) and Turkish (purple card). All of my translated activities use the same color coded system. When I use

The Simple Interest Equation I=Prt looks at four different variables: Principle, Interest Amount, Interest Rate and Time. The Time variable expresses years as a whole number and months as a decimal. Students struggle with the decimal part of this variable. This digital activity helps students practice taking the period of time and converting it to its decimal format. As students find their answers, they will enter them in the shaded box. With each correct answer, part of the picture will be

The Pythagorean Theorem is all about the sides of Right Triangles. This activity will help students practice not only how to use the equation, but how to solve for a variable AND how to find the square root of a number. Students are given two sides of a triangle and are challenged to find the third. Sometimes the side they need to find is the hypotenuse (side c) and sometimes it is one of the legs (side a or b). Students need to recognize which side they are solving for and where to plug the

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

Quadrilaterals are polygons with 4 angles, the sum of which is 360°. With the help of some algebra, students will work to find the missing angle values by solving for the variable "g." There are 12 problems in this activity, increasing in difficulty. View the preview file to get an idea of the we questions. As students find their answers, they will enter them in the shaded box. With each correct answer, another bite will be taken out of their apple.... until all that is left is the core an

This activity asks students to match 10 rate phrases to the rate OR unit rate in fraction form.  Students simply click and drag the matching card and drop it in place next to its match.  This is a quick activity to check for understanding during a lesson, as a center activity, or as a homework assignment. Drag and Drop activities are a great way for students to practice their math skills. Not only is it a fun, interactive activity for your class, but it is a quick way for you to assess your st

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 activity asks students to translate phrases into inequality statements. For each question, students will need to type their answer as an inequality. They can put the variable on the left or right. Instructions are also given on how to type the ≥ and ≤ symbols. Digital Maze activities are a great way for students to practice their math skills. Not only is it a fun, interactive activity, but students are able to self check their work as they answer each question. In Digital Mazes, correct

This activity asks students to solve one-step inequalities. For each question, students will need to type their answer as an inequality - without spaces. This activity will help students practice their integer rules because they will be working with positive and negative numbers. For some questions, students will need to flip the inequality sign in their answer. Digital Color by Numbers are a great way for students to practice their math skills. Not only is it a fun, interactive activity, bu

This activity asks students to find the Greatest Common Factor for an expression. Instead of rewriting the expression, students will just type the GCF for their answer. Many students have difficulties distinguishing between Greatest Common Factor and Least Common Multiple (LCM). This activity helps them practice this skill. Digital Color by Numbers are a great way for students to practice their math skills. Not only is it a fun, interactive activity, but students are able to self check th

This activity focuses on the distributive property with rational numbers. There are a total of 12 expressions that students have to simplify. They need to understand multiplying with positive and negative rational numbers before starting this activity. Digital Color by Numbers are a great way for students to practice their math skills.
