Do Math Better

Watch the movie "UP" and then have students complete this packet of questions aligned with 7th grade standards to determine if "Up" is mathematically accurate.

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

When teaching decimal operations, we talk a lot about money. In this project students will think about their future selves. They will select a career, find an average annual salary and then use this information to create a budget. In doing so they will practice adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing with decimals.

Students compare linear quadratic and exponential functions.

A poster to help students remember the metric system prefixes using "King Henry Died Drinking Chocolate Milk".

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 solve various math equations, operations and exponential forms to find what number is represented in each section of the pi symbol. Then students must color the symbol accordingly. Includes: 2 step equations, decimal and fraction multiplication and division, absolute value, exponents, integer operations (positive and negative),and square roots

Project to assess students' understanding of parallel lines and transversals vocabulary.

This is a writing assignment to get students to understand the concept of a solution to a system of linear equations. Students are asked to write a speech to the systems of equations as the solution to the system. The topic they choose to write about is up to them. It includes directions, a rubric and 2 examples.

In 6th grade students learn the basic foundations of statistics- how to collect, analyze, and discuss data. This project allows students to authentically experience the process. First, students will create their own statistical questions. They will then collect data to answer their question and organize their data into different displays (Part 1). Next, students will use measures of center and range to describe their data (Part 2). Then, students will create a box plot and find the interquartil

Students demonstrate their understanding of Linear Functions.

Fun and easy end of the year activity for students of all ages. Download this to your google drive and share it with your students! Students can fill in the dictionary using words they learned throughout the year. I used this with my 6th grade class but it can easily be edited for any grade level (only the title page would need to be edited).

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.

Students will solve a ratio problem using as many strategies as they can: table, double number line, graph, tape diagram, patterns, rates, pictures.

Students solve the 2 step inequalities and fill in the crossword with their solutions. Worksheet and answer sheet included.

In 6th Grade students are asked to learn a lot of new algebraic vocabulary. This is especially difficult for my ELL students. So I created this activity to get students talking about the vocabulary words using pictures to help my Spanish speaking students better connect with the words.

Students must solve each inequality, the next one always depending on their previous answer to solve the final inequality and plot the solution on a number line.

In this integrated project students will research the importance of cuisine to a culture's identity. They will then use proportional reasoning to bring that recipe to life in a multi-cultural food celebration.

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.
