This is a budgeting unit that deals primarily with basic math skills and some technology. The students take pride and responsibility in their work because they get to make big decisions such as what their dream career is, what type of house they live in, what type of car they drive, and they get to plan a vacation of their own. At the end of the unit the students will be presented with one million dollars that they have to spend following certain guidelines and rules. This unit offers a variety

With bottle flipping being such the craze, why not incorporate it into a fun and engaging math lesson. In this lesson students will flip different 5 different water bottles filled 1/3 of the way full. They will have a set number of attempts for each bottle. They will have to see how many times they can successfully flip each bottle in order to calculate their flipping percentage. There are several data recording sheets in this packet with justification and explanation questions at the end. I hav

Composite figures can bring complexity to your math class but not with this resource. Students are guided through how to solve simple and complex composite figure problems with real world application too. Guided notes teach students how to add to find the area or how to subtract and find the area. The tasks start out easy and then gain rigor through the whole project. Included in this packet is a composite figure worksheet that you can use as a worksheet or I have made it into an interactive sol

Finding the distance between two points on the coordinate plane can be intimidating if their is no coordinate plane. This guided notes and independent practice packet contains everything you need to teach your students about absolute value so they will be successful in finding the distance between two or more points when they are only given the coordinates. This packet will also help them understand if the given points make a vertical or a horizontal line. If you're looking for RIGOR then look n

5.NBT.8a: Divide decimals to hundredths using strategies based on place value explaining the reasoning being used. Here is a list of decimal problems that are "easy to see visually" so students can grasp the pattern to abstract where they require the students to use a little more place value reasoning. It starts with a whole number divided by a decimal, a decimal divided by a whole number, and decimals divided by decimals. The combinations of dividends and divisors support the Alabama standar

Oh snap is based off of the common core standard for using braces, parentheses, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with order of operations. It has directions, scoreboard, and playing cards included.

This activity is designed so students can investigate how to find the area of regular polygons. Once they discover how to find the area of the regular polygons the students will have to apply the their knowledge to a real world situation. The rigor is definitely here in this product. It also includes an independent practice sheet.

Students will solve 8 area problems that correspond with the common core standard 6.G.1 and then color a picture that corresponds to the answer. Students will have to find the area of parallelograms and triangles by having to differentiate between the shapes side and height which is something most students confuse. Students will also have to find the missing base or height when given the area of a shape. The students will have fun while practicing some important math foundational skills.

This game has been classroom tested and student approved. This game comes with 48 color coded cards that match color coded Jenga blocks (sold seperately) that cover Ratio, Rates, and Percents. This is a great review right before the test or when you want to add some fun and excitement into a classroom. I have also included all the questions on paper so every student, even the one who isn't drawing the card at the time, can see what the question is asking. This will help all your learners. You c

THIS WAS SOOOOO FUN!! If you are studying surface area and nets of 3D objects then this is the perfect project for you!! This project comes complete with notes on how to transform your classroom into the perfect science lab. Specimen (3D) objects have come in and need new skin grafts (net of the 3D figure). Students will have to identify *vertices* *edges* *bases* *faces* this will help them to identify if the "specimen" is a prism or a pyramid. comes with - Dr.D's Lecture Lab (notes) -Dissectio

I created this product for a review of all the CC.G.6.1-4 standards. These problems are rigorous but very attainable. Students will definitely be challenged answering these questions!! The questions are in a real world context and the students will have to apply what they know to answer the questions :) covers *area* -trapezoids -parallelograms -trapezoids -shaded regions *perimeter* *distance on the coordinate plane*
