I made this sheet as a review for a fractions quiz, but it could just as easily serve as the quiz itself. The sheet covers identifying fractions, simplifying fractions, finding equivalent fractions, converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions, and comparing fractions.

I made this sheet to help reinforce with my students the idea that "in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right."* The worksheet has students calculating 10 times more or 10 times less than a number for several numbers. Students are then asked to analyze their responses and record what they notice. I allowed my students to use a calculator, if they needed to, to complete the calculations because my focus was on their ob

I made this problem-solving activity for my math students to solve after they learned about compound events. Students need to understand the difference between dependent and independent compound events to solve this problem. The problem is embedded in a realistic situation, so students need to determine what information is important and relevant before solving the problem. The multiplication of fractions required for this dependent event might seem lofty at first, but if students simplify fac
