Common Core Math Fun

The games consistent of percents, fractions and decimal equivalencies. It is a fun way for students to work on their equivalences, while training their memories too! Students will construct a 5 x 5 square without showing any of the values. You may time students, let them work in partners, etc. It is truly up to you!

Students may cut out the 10 squares and put them in least to greatest (or greatest to least) order. Students are working through percent, decimal and fractions.

Conversions. I Have, Who Has is a game to support our ESL learners. You divide the cards into the whatever size group you would like. Someone has a start card. They read aloud their card. The next period will go that has their match, and then reads their question card. Example: I have the start card. Who has -6 + 2? I have -4. Who has -10 - 7? I have -17. Who has ...etc

Teachers will need to cut up the puzzles prior to students using this activity. I strongly recommend copying on card stock and laminating so you may use for years to come with your students once you cut them up. Students work on building their %-Decimal-Fraction triangular puzzle. Students enjoy the activity without even realizing that they are practicing math!

Students are able to work through a horizontal number line model, corresponding word statement and math statement. Students are given one of those three and must write/construct the equivalency.
