Go visual! Students can grasp the concept by placing the decimals on a 10x10 grid. Answer key included! This page prints black & white. This can be great for your reluctant students, or those who are extra motivated by colored pencils! (colored pencils are needed for the coloring part) Similar resources: All 4 operations!

Does your curriculum show every pentagon as a regular pentagon? And... is that pentagon always sitting flat? This confuses your students about what makes a shape a shape. They might think all pentagons are regular and must be sitting flat in order to be a pentagon! By introducing the term "regular", this presentation will teach your students that the orientation or tilt of a shape does not affect what kind of shape it is. Your students will be challenged to think their way through this notion b

Hangar Diagrams are a fun way to solve algebraic equations--visually! (If Khan Academy uses them, it has to be good, right?) It feels like a game. And with only 2 rules to explain, students will be up and running in moments. This challenge can be used as an introduction to single variable equations. Consider going through as a class or with a small group who would benefit from the visual, non-traditional format. This could also be a fun review method before a test. Answers pop up on each sli

The steps to round decimals are shown visually step by step. All you have to do is click through and comment! Tenths, hundredths and thousandths are shown. Rounding both up and down is included. Also, rounding up 9s (such as 4.98 rounding 5.0) is included. My favorite part of this lesson is how I used the visual clues to target student focus to each step as it happens. Students will quickly catch the hang of the process. -Mr. Assessment

Since Lines of Symmetry is not covered in my curriculum, I was looking for a quick and easy way to introduce the concept. I was amazed at how much my students learned just from doing this; I didn't even give a lesson first! They made great progress in understanding the concept. I use this as a Math Center or for challenge work for my high achievers. The Answer Key is included so you can grade their work or have them check on their own. -Mr. Assessment

This 1 page, easy grade worksheet (w/ ANSWER KEY) can be used as a quiz, formative assessment, pre-test, post-test, extra practice or reteach. I made this because I was frustrated that all of my curriculum's decimal practice was too easy. Students simply unlocked the same pattern every time and didn’t have to analyze each problem. In this assessment, I use patterns, but tweak them slightly, such as re-ordering values to promote algebraic thinking. The result is a higher-quality assessment that

Using only benchmark angles, can you create a robot for the new Angleton Robotics Company? They need robots for the following three purposes: § Serving cupcakes at a dinner party § Returning basketballs to players shooting alone § Cleaning up after pet messes This geometrical drawing exercise takes angle skills to the next level by encouraging creative thinking and problem solving. Reinforce benchmark angles and increase their understanding. And they'll think they're just drawing! :) -

10 question test for easy scoring! This test can give you a grade for defining three types of graphs: Histogram Line Graph Pie Chart Since this is an editable word document, if you call them something different, you can change the words with a few keystrokes! Prints to 1 page front and back. This will test three things: The purpose of each type The look of each type Pulling useful information through reading a line graph. The third and final section includes writing a sentence to explain mean
