Students are paired up for this activity. Each partner must solve a set of questions. The answer for each question number is the same for both partners but the problem is different. If a student gets a different answer then their partner, they must look at their work and their partner's work to determine where the mistake was made. This particular activity focuses on ordering and comparing integers.

This is a document that compiles released smarter balanced test items into a teacher and student friendly format. It is designed in a way that teachers are able to print out and assign pages to students. After students have attempted the problems, the teacher can grade them as if they were a smarter balance scorer. Then if the teacher desires, they may go over the problem with their class. Scoring rubrics and sample top score responses are included.

This game is just like the classic game of go fish, but students must match question and answer cards. This template has game instructions and is very easy to work with. I use it for mathematics, but it could very easily be adapted to an subject. You can also view a completed game of go fish to get a better idea of what the game can be used for.

This is similar to the game Connect Four. Students play in pairs The game board consists of a six by six table. Each box in the table has a problem inside. When it is a players turn, he/she must roll a pair of die to determine which box contains the problem they must solve. After solving the problem, they ask the moderator if their answer is correct. If it is correct they place their color marker on the box and it is now their opponent's turn. If their answer is incorrect, their opponent ha

This google slides jeopardy has links to each question as well as transitions to the answers. The categories include Simplifying and Converting to Improper Fractions, Adding and Subtracting, Multiplying and Dividing, Mixed Operations, and Word Problems.

Students will add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. As they complete the problems, they type in their answers. If their answer is correct, the cell will turn green and reveal part of the punchline of a joke.

Students will add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals. As they complete the problems, they type in their answers. If their answer is correct, the cell will turn green and reveal part of the punchline of a joke.

This game is just like the classic card game memory except students are trying to match equivalent decimals to fractions and vice versa.

Students will complete a table of free throw attempts and successful free throws. I suggest giving a time limit to complete this rather than a certain number of free throws. Students then list from greatest to least the fraction of successful free throws to free throw attempts for their group. Students also look at NBA and WNBA data for free throws and answer: 2. Why do you think the women in the WNBA have a higher free throw average in general than the men in the NBA?

This is a PowerPoint template of the game who wants to be a millionaire. It has hyperlinks that lead you to the question and tell you if you are correct or incorrect. If you answer incorrectly, you must start back at the $100 question. There are no lifelines available for this version of the game. Enjoy!

This template has a sheet for students to fill out as well as a sheet for the teacher to use when creating their key. There are 18 cards that can be filled out with problems/questions for students to answer. The teacher must remove 3 of their choice (1 Who, 1 What, and 1 Where) before placing the cards around the room. The three removed cards will the the solution to who killed Mrs. Bailey. You can change the name to your name and use rooms and teachers from your school to personalize this p

Using the free throw statistics from the 2012-2013 seasons, I created a chart of the averages from the WNBA and NBA. As a group students will have a free throw session and record their number of attempts and successful free throws. I will give my students 10 to 20 minutes to complete their free throws. I would suggest not to have the students all complete the same number of free throws since it will make it extremely easy to compare the fraction of successful free throws to the number of atte
