Guided notes activity packet for teaching students to represent 3D images as nets and find the surface area. Students will take measurements of a birdhouse and use it to create a net as well as find the surface area. They will use this information to solve a real work mathematical problem.
Quiz that covers exponents, as well as writing expressions from sentences, simplifying expressions using order of operations, substituting numbers in for variables to simplify, and basic algebraic vocabulary.
Guided notes activity packet for teaching the students to find the volume of rectangular prisms. Students will need to measure a container to find the volume. Students will use this information to figure out how much of each liquid they can pour into their container. Integrate science, by discussing the density of different liquids and why they can be layered and not mixed together!
Guided notes activity packet for teaching the area of shapes. Students will need to decompose an irregular polygon "cake" to find the total area. Students will use this information to find how much cake each person in the class should receive. (Used to promote students to think critically about real world math problems.)
12 slides of "make a ten" facts for quick review Includes missing sum problems as well as missing addend problems to make "friendly numbers" connections!
