This is used as a positive tool to help concretely show students how they are performing and help them create growth goals along with modeling how to make action steps to help them achieve those goals.  I really wanted a positive, growth mindset oriented tracker for MAP testing. I looked and looked, but couldn't find one.... so I made it myself :) This version is perfect for those of us that don't

This is a fun and easy activity to have students complete using their knowledge about fractions, decimals, and percentages. Students should have a bag of candy to help them complete the activity with. I use snack sized ones or pour out small portions from larger bags to each student. You may choose to allow them to use calculators or not, to increase difficulty.  I also included a version with ratios and equivalent/reduced ratios. Customization is also possible. If something hasn’t been covere

I use this as an excellent way to get to know more about my students during the first few days. I always set this aside and offer it as a quiet and relaxing activity for when I see that they need a few minutes to decompress. They always love completing it and it has helpful information that allows me to see who might need to sit at the front of the room, who has allergies that the nurses didn't find out about yet, and how they best like to learn. I also really enjoy reading about their favorites

This activity is a student-centered and engaging activity to have the class notice the effects of changes in dimension on perimeter and area. It is entirely self-guided.

Students will create an image that follows requirements given about equivalent ratios. It is a student-centered, creative, and engaging activity. It takes a few minutes to introduce and go over examples. After that, the students are working on making their artwork. It typically takes two class periods. Students are very engaged and happy while demonstrating their knowledge of equivalent ratios. It is helpful to have a class set of pattern blocks, but it can be completed using the digital versio

This is a great get to know you activity. I use it at the start of each year as a way for my students to talk to their peers and learn a little more about each other. It is in a fun and engaging way that creates less stress and anxiety for shy students. I generally offer prizes to the first few students with their boards completed.  I created two designs for classroom bingo. One is completely filled out and can be printed as is. The same design is available with editable text that you can custom
