I created these worksheets to review adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing of fractions and mixed numbers with my middle schoolers. Integer concepts are prevalent in these problems. If you are looking for a similar exercise for students who have not yet mastered integers, see my: Adding and Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers ProductThis product contains 3 two-page worksheets, each with 15 problems. Each worksheet also contains a self-checking mystery message that students can f
I created these worksheets for use with my algebra and pre-algebra students who needed some review of basic operations with fractions and mixed numbers. Integer concepts are included in many problems. Guided notes and practice, including homework worksheets are included. Most of these problems are more challenging than those you can find in elementary curriculums. I find this product most useful at the beginning of the school year, but I have also used it again after Christmas break as way t
Challenging word problems involving fractions and/or mixed numbers. Students will have to add, subract, multiply, or divide and often do a combination of operations since most problems are multi-step. Designed for 7th and 8th grade students to review concepts at the beginning of the year, but could be used with advanced 5th and 6th graders as well. This product an be used multiple ways. Direct instruction - Teacher displays each card/slide one at a time.Distance learning - Teacher makes Goog
I use this as my "chapter zero" quiz after spending the first week of school reviewing the basic skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers as well as fractions and mixed numbers. I have included two versions of this quiz. I use one as a practice quiz and the other as the quiz itself, but you could also use one as a diagnostic pre-test just to see if brush-up on these skills is needed. I have also included a Google slides version as well as a PDF; both versions are avail
This product includes four worksheets of challenging expressions that must be simplified using order of operations. All problems require multiple steps of simplifying. Great for enrichment for those students who pick up on things quickly and need a challenge while you continue working with those who need more basic practice. Worksheet #1 deals with just whole number simplification. Worksheet #2 involves simplication with integers Worksheet #3 has rational numbers Worksheet #4 includes exponent
I love these puzzles! They are great way to add a new spin on practicing the skill of adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators that require regrouping. Students will practice adding mixed fractions and thinking skills as they complete each "Magic Square" puzzle. The answer of the third square in each row and column must be the sum of the first two squares. While all squares are sums, students will also use subtraction in many squares as they work backwards to
This is a set of quick reference charts that I created to remind my students how to peform basic operations with integers and make sure that their answers have the correct sign. I enlarged mine and had them printed as posters to place at the front of my classroom, but they would also work well as a bulleting board display.

The worksheets are differentiated as
This is a bundle of my two products: Adding and Subtracting Mixed Fractions Worksheets - Self Checking and Multiplying and Dividing Mixed Fractions Worksheets - Self CheckingThe bundle includes a total of seven worksheets as follows: Product #1 contains: Worksheet #1: Like Denominators and no regrouping necessaryWorksheet #2: Like Denominators and many problems require regroupingWorksheet #3: Unlike Denominators and no regrouping necessaryWorksheet #4: Unlike Denominators and most probl
I created these task cards to use with my algebra students at the beginning of the school year to brush up on their basic facts with adding and subtracting integers. Student tend to make so many careless errors with signs when adding and subtracting integers, and getting these basics down pat is essential before moving on to more complicated problems. I also use this with my pre-algebra students after teaching the lessons on operations with integers. The set includes 21 problem cards plus one
Students can practice using the distributive property and combining like terms with this bundle of my two products. Bundle contains worksheets that are great for homework, classwork, or quizzes and task cards that allow students to practice this concept in a fun and active way.

These are great alternatives to the traditional speed drill or timed test for basic facts. Students will practice adding integers and thinking skills as they complete each "Magic Square" puzzle. The integers of the third square in each row and column must be the sum of the first two squares. While all squares are sums, students will also use subtraction in many squares as they work backwards to fill in the empty spaces. I love these drills because they challenge even bright middle schoolers a

These 8.5 by 11 anchor charts for rules for divisibility will be so helpful for your students. Whether they are just learning long division, simplifying fractions, or factoring, knowing these rules can make math so much easier.
