To read how this activity came about, look below.* Integers can be a tricky thing for students. This activity focuses on integers and how they are used in the measure of elevation. This packet contains a worksheet with various locations, their elevations, and questions about them. However, to make this really come alive, use the Google Earth version of this activity. The activity contains 3 parts and each part comes with a Google Earth file. Each Google Earth file contains a path to different

24 cards covering topics involving finding percents including: tax, tip, commission, discount, percent increase and decrease. Includes student recording page. Students can self-check with QR codes or use the included key. TEKS: 6.4G, 6.5B, 7.4D, 7.13A Technology Integration: QR Code Self-Check

This game is designed to get kids up, moving, and engaged in reviewing the properties of 2D & 3D shapes. To use, print and cut out cards (laminate to make longer lasting). The game is best played in partners or in small groups. How to Play: Played like the popular app, “Heads Up!” one person has a stack of cards. Without looking at the card, they place it on their forehead so their partner or teammates can see it. Their teammates describe the shape on the card (without saying the name) until t

A quick and easy resource for students to be able to practice finding the Area and Circumference of circles when given the diameter or radius. Ways to use: Task cards – students individually find the area or circumference and check their work Team Competition – first team to find the area or circumference of all the pies, wins! Put the pies in order from least to greatest based on measurements (diameter, radius, circumference, area) And more! Includes 8 pie pictures with either the diameter

Give students a little more practice choosing formulas for specific aspects of shapes. Students match the formula with what is being asked of each shape. Includes area, volume, circumference, lateral and total surface area. 16 total shapes and answers.

Help students practice the step of solving for the area of shapes: Choosing the formula, substituting values, and solving the formula. How to Use: Students match the problem with the formula, the substituted formula and the answer. When matched correctly, the pictures in the corners form a QR code. If matched up correctly and lined up correctly, when scanned, will generate a picture. Includes: 8 matching problems with QR codes & the same problems without the QR codes if you don’t want to use
