Students will solve and graph one and two-step equations and inequalities through this engaging scavenger hunt. Teachers can post the questions around the room and have students look for the answers. This provides students with the opportunity to move and self-check their answers. This activity includes 12 questions, instructions, an answer key, and student activity sheets.

This activity allows students to move around the room while estimating square roots! Place the question cards around the room and have students find the answers on another question. This activity includes 16 scavenger hunt questions, instructions, an activity sheet, and an answer key!

This is an engaging hands-on activity for students in that they can design composite figures with shapes and then create their own figures! Students will then calculate the area and perimeter of each figure.

This colorful and engaging activity includes two different levels of probability QR cards! Both sets of cards include experimental probability, theoretical probability, the likelihood of events, the counting principle, and probability questions with dice and spinners. The moderate level includes 20 probability QR question cards, while the difficult level includes 30 QR question cards and also includes odds, permutations, combinations, independent and dependent events, and overlapping events.

This fun and hands-on activity provides students with the opportunity to create three-dimensional shapes and then calculate the volume and surface area of their hand-made shapes! Students will create rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, cylinders, pyramids, and cones. The shape cutouts are not included, but they can easily be obtained through on-line images. This activity includes clear step-by-step instructions for students to create the shapes, think of real-life examples that represent e

This scavenger hunt is an engaging way for students to practice solving percent problems through movement. Questions are placed around the room, and students work with a partner to complete the problem and look around the room for the answer. When students find the answer, they can solve the next question and move on. If they cannot find their answer, they should go back and check their work. This 20 question scavenger hunt includes questions that involve the percent proportion and percent e

This engaging hands-on activity provides students with the opportunity to recognize proportional relationships in shadows! Students will measure an object and its shadow using a flashlight, and then measure another object’s shadow and predict the object’s height using proportions. Students will then measure the object’s height and determine how close their estimate was to the actual measurement.

This easy setup activity will allow students to convert fractions to decimals and vice versa and then order decimals and fractions from least to greatest in a more engaging way! Place decimal and fraction cards into paper bags and give the bags to groups of 3-4 students. Students will convert the fractions and decimals and then order the cards from least to greatest. Each level of bag increases in difficulty for easy differentiation. Instructions and an answer key are included!

This engaging activity allows students to move around the room while solving problems about the number system! Students begin at a problem and find their solution around the room to self-check their answers. This activity includes 20 questions about order of operations, evaluating expressions, translating algebraic expressions into words, identifying properties, combining like terms, and the distributive property. Instructions, student activity sheets, and an answer key is also included.

Students will solve 12 problems on solving two-step equations with word problems and combining like terms through this engaging scavenger hunt. Students begin at any problem around the room and solve the problem. In order to check their answers, students look around the room to find the answer to know which problem to solve next. If students do not see their answers, then they know that they made a mistake. Instructions, student activity sheets, and an answer key are also included!

To help students collaborate together, I have my students wear different colored beads to represent their role in the group. Students work in groups of four with a leader, discussion director, encourager, and materials manager and each student in the group wears the corresponding bead color. If there are only three students in a group, I have one student assume two roles. This collaboration sheet not only assigns roles to students, but also allows students to rate their peers at the end of th
