Are your students having trouble with integers? Have you already used up the worksheets that come with your textbook? This 8 page packet can be printed together or can be used page by page. There are 36 problems per page and there are two pages for each of the following topics: -Adding integers with same signs -Adding integers with different signs -Adding double negatives -Mixed review I use these at the beginning of the year with my algebra classes as a review. These would be perfect for

Are you introducing proofs for the first time? Are your students struggling with the concept of a proof? I have found that there are very few remediation worksheets on proofs and sometimes it is necessary to go slow until all students get the hang of proofs. It can be frustrating when the textbooks only include one or two examples. I created this very straightforward study guide for beginner proofs on the the common angles formed by 2 parallel lines cut by a transversal line. This particular s

Are your students bored to tears with state assessments, math drills and dull text books? Are you bored to tears teaching the same proportion lesson over and over again just to hear them say "When are we ever going to use this?!" I created this lesson/worksheet to integrate a real life skill. I love to travel and thought this would be a great way to relate it to math. While this assignment meets typical state and local standards for "applying ratios and proportions to real life problems" it

This test was created to assess students knowledge of geometric proofs for all chapters up to the triangle congruence chapter. Proofs on this test include the following concepts: SSS, ASA, SAS, AAS, HL, CPCTC Students must have a background knowledge on proofs and other geometric concepts before taking this test. You could also use this test as a study guide if you prefer. An answer key is included. All teachers seem to approach proofs differently so your answers may vary. I tried to gi

I created these study guide to help my students with introductory proofs. There never seems to be enough practice with proofs in the textbooks. It was designed to repeat some of the same theorems and postulates over and over again but in different problems. A complete answer key is included. *Note: Certain problems could be done multiple ways. My answers generally include the shortest complete method. The proofs include the following basic concepts: Definitions -Complementary, Supplmentary

Tired of spending a lot of time on study guides only to find that your students aren't giving them a second look? This creative study guide covers the entire chapter on triangle congruence for a high school geometry class with tips for formal proofs. Specifically these notes cover: Triangle Classification by angle measure and side length Triangle Sum Theorem, Exterior Angle Theorem Definition of Congruent Triangles SSS, SAS ASA, AAS, HL I included some fun "celebrity guests" on these notes t

Are your students struggling with the concept of solving for a given variable? I have created this worksheet in an effort to keep their interest and also give them built-in help. Each problem contains a current celebrity name (like Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber) that is scrambled up in the form of multi-step equation. The students inevitably can figure out the name before solving the problem so it serves as a clue as to which variable should be moved first. I have created many of these workshee

Are your students struggling with linear equations? This worksheet was created to isolate one specific topic...moving equations into Standard Form. This skill is often thrown in to other sections and students are expected to know how to do it because they technically already learned how to solve equations. Unfortunately a lot of students still struggle with that and it can be hard to find worksheets that isolate this topic. This printable paper contains 25 problems in a variety of forms that

Do your students need help with Pythagorean Theorem? We all know that there are a lot of resources available online but it takes time and energy to separate the good resources with the bad resources. This download is a 3-page editable Word document that provides 27 different QR codes and website links to lesson tutorial videos, printable worksheets and online practice for your students. I have pulled resources from Khan Academy, Cool Math, Virtual Nerd and many other sites that address the top

Do your students need help with slope? We all know that there are a lot of resources available online but it takes time and energy to separate the good resources with the bad resources.

Looking for a new way to start off the year teaching Geometry? For a change of pace, rather than read the rules to the kids on the first day I decided to give them this activity instead. Supplies Needed: Notecards, paperclips, Starbursts, rulers, This is essentially a printable/editable packet with 6 different line segments that the students will measure using 6 different units of measurement. I chose 3 non-traditional units (notecard, paperclip, Starburst) and traditional units (Inches,
