If your students understand how to solve logic problems and have access to the internet, this is a great exercise to give them foundational research skills and sharpen their inductive and deductive reasoning skills. This is a potentially challenging worksheet geared toward driven students.

I'm not a big fan of tape diagrams, but if a student can understand tape diagrams, they can really nail down the conceptual understanding of fractions. Students don't create their own tape diagrams with these problems. Instead, they critically examine pre-drawn tape diagrams and determine their accuracy when applying them to a word problem. If you want to make any changes to any of the problems, open the .pptx file instead of the PDF file.

Here are 6 math word problems that, before solving, students must first determine whether to solve them forward or backward. This is as much a reading comprehension exercise as it is a math worksheet. Backward word problems consistently trip up many students - even strong readers. This activity hopes to help students become more thoughtful in their approach to multi-step, tricky word problems. These questions are designed for 5th-8th graders. If you want to edit the document, open the .docx f

Fraction to percentage fluency is tricky. Using tape diagrams and clearly laid out equations creates a clear visual from which students can decipher these interrelated concepts. There are two worksheets with attached answer keys. Both worksheets use sale prices as the avenue for understanding. One uses tape diagrams to illustrate the relationship between fractions and percentages; the other uses a series of equations. If you want to edit the material, open the .docx file in Google Docs and adjus

These 7 early algebra worksheets are fun math challenges. Some of the worksheets can be completed by 1st and 2nd graders, and a couple might be more suitable for 3rd or 4th graders. They also focus on vocabulary building for early literacy or ELL students. All of them have some problems using color, so if you don't have a color printer, you'll want to color in the squares with the assigned marker.

In this math center activity, students add together the number of sides from different shapes to equal a defined sum. For example, if the sum goal were 12 sides, you could use 3 squares to reach 12 sides (3 x 4 sides). By using shapes in this way, students not only become familiar with the shape names, but also work on a variety of implicit numeracy skills such as the concept of multiples. With modeling, first graders, and potentially some kindergartners could benefit from this activity though i

You can adjust these up or down in level very easily in Google Slides. Students slide the number circles to the line going from least to greatest. They also find which of the number circles doesn't belong in the pattern and put it in the Ostracism Box where I grew up.
