Howe's Math Practice

This is a fill in the blank style notes and independent practice for students. Students will be able to use their probability skills to set up and solve a proportion to answer questions about predictions. All probabilities are independent events. Answer key included.

This is a fill in the blank style note sheet for students along with independent practice questions. Students will be able to calculate total and lateral the surface area of rectangular pyramids, square pyramids and triangular pyramids using a net. Answer key included.

This product is a hands on activity that uses 1 inch snap cubes (you will need to supply) for students to experience the concept of surface area. Students will build a tower given a base area. Then they are to count the squares on all faces for them find surface area. Designed for them to see opposite faces are congruent and that you are adding up all the outside face areas. There is an exit ticket for students to prove what they discovered. Can use as a center or whole class activity. Ans

This is a great way to introduce the concept of slope and y-intercept. I use pattern blocks and talk about how it grows (rate of change/slope) and where you start from (y-intercept). Students color and have a visual representation. Students will also be able to take their pattern and write it as an equation, then use that equation to solve other questions. There are 5 different patterns, use some use all! Also a create your own design project included with a grading rubric. Allow students

This product is a hands on activity that uses 1 inch snap cubes (you will need to supply) for students to experience the concept of volume. Students will build a tower given a base area. Then they will build floors on top of the base area and record their findings. Designed for them to see how area of the base times the height (floors) is volume as well as volume being the total number of cubes needed to build your tower. Exit ticket included for students to show their discoveries. Can be

This is a 10 question assessment for calculating the circumference of a circle and the areas of circles, triangles, parallelograms, rectangles, trapezoids and composite/irregular figures. Students will use 3.14 for pi. Answer key included.

This is a straight forward how to solve a proportion teach piece with independent practice for students. There is no application, only can I do the math. Wonderful introduction. Answer key included.

This is an activity for students to create and share their probability knowledge. There are four different group assignments. Each group is responsible for creating a sample space, use the sample space to find a probability and also answer an experimental probability question. I like students to create a video on an app called flipgrid, however this project can easily be done where students create their work on poster paper. Grading rubric included.

This product contains many fill in the blank style notes along with individual student practice assignments. These assignments are designed to increase student knowledge of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers.

This is a task card activity where students are able to check their work as they go. Students start with any card they want to and solve the question. Then they find their answer at the top of another card. When they find their answer that is the next question they complete. The cards will connect in a "train" format. If students can't find their answer, they know they did something wrong. Questions included finding the area of circles, half circles, triangles, trapezoids, rectangles and c

Students color and have a visual representation. Students will also be able to take their pattern and write it as an equation, then use that equation to solve other questions. There are 5 different patterns, use some use all! Answer key included.

This is a formative assessment (quiz) over calculating the area of circles, triangles, rectangles, parallelograms and trapezoids. Students are asked to use 3.14 for pi. Answer key included.

This is a hands on activity where students will be measuring and creating 3-D object to find the surface area of. Students will be required to measure a net, calculate the total surface area, cut out the net and tape together to name the 3-D created. Shapes include pyramids and prisms.

This product contains fill in the blank style notes along with a few independent practice questions. Students will be able to solve for a variable given a 1-step equation with multiplication and division. Answer key included.

Students will be creating a video (like a YouTube channel person) that teaches the viewer how to solve their assigned group question. The group questions are differentiated, A being the easiest and D being the hardest. Focuses on decimal operation skills, calculating a unit rate and finding the percent of a number. Grading rubric is included along with the answer key.

This is a great way for students to show off their creativity. Should be used after Identifying Patterns - intro to linear equations. Students will create their own pattern blocks design and visual show the rate of change and starting value in picture form, equation form and then use it to solve. Grading Rubric included.

This product is designed to reinforce students ability to calculate a unit rate. Students will have to calculate the unit rate for different types of fruit (task cards). Then, they will place that task card letter on the recording mat that correlates to the unit rate the found. Answer key included.

This product contains fill in the blank style notes that show students the steps for calculating the percent of a number. Students will be able to find the percent of a number through decimal multiplication. Questions are real life application. Answer key included.

This is a fill in the blank style note sheet for students along with independent practice questions. Students will be able to calculate the total and lateral surface area of cubes, rectangular prisms and triangular prisms using a net. Answer key included.

This is a fill in the blank style note sheet for students along with independent practice for students. Students will be able to calculate the area of a rectangle or parallelogram. Answer key included.
