Do Math Better

There is one question for each of the 29 6th grade SC Ready math standards.

After reading "The Boy who Harnassed the WInd" this is a simple activity to do with students. I like to share a short video such as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy9nj94xvKA and then let students work together to understand the parts of a wind turbine.

Students must use what they know about distance, direction vocabulary and reflections to help Alex get his 2 vaccine shots without running into any covid germs. This activity was created for 6th grade students, however you could also encourage students to use rotations and translation vocabulary for older students. Also included is a simple coordinate plane doodle notes page and a blank graph and table for students to create their own coordinate maze.

This is a lesson I use to introduce the definition of function. It is one of my students favorite lessons, and gets the students out of their seats and involved. It also comes with what I call "the easiest math worksheet you will ever do." If you want to get this activity for free check out my website: https://domathbetter.weebly.com/fun-stuff.html

Students answer a variety of 6th grade level math problems to find the secret message. Once they have found the message the remaining numbers will give the first 18 digits of Pi.

Students place square roots, cube roots and absolute value problems on a number line to discover a secret message.

Students must simplify each expression to generate the points that will create the mystery picture.
