This unit contains all the activities you will need while introducing and reviewing properties of operations at the middle school level. Introduce the associative, commutative, distributive, identity, and inverse properties of operations with a matching activity that shows how properties of operations can be used in real world situations to make problem solving easier. Use the information learned in the introductory activity to fill out vocabulary flip notes for each property (pictured above).

Writing numbers using prime factorization has never been more fun! This math center game is the perfect way to allow your students to practice prime factorization with the scaffolding of a mat to help students who may need a little guidance. With 21 numbers of varying difficulty, your students will be able to use this game over and over again. As a follow up to the math station, eight no prep factor tree puzzle problems are included.

Are you ready to teach decimal place value to the hundredths? With this quick, no-prep interactive math notebook set you can teach TEKS 4.2E, TEKS 4.2G and TEKS 4.2H easily. Introduce decimal place value with fractions, number lines, base 10 block concrete representations, and money representations. Continue reinforcing that moving between place value to the left and right is the same as either multiplying or dividing by 10. This set includes: ► Decimal place value mini book with student in

This five part lesson begins by introducing the concepts of positive and negative numbers through real world examples. Then moves into modeling using algebra tiles and number lines. The next section uses basic algebra tile modeling to introduce the concepts of integer operations. Then students apply this to word problem scenarios that require them to model the situations presented with algebra tiles. The lesson finishes with a written reflection. For best results, use this activity with stud

Identify prime and composite numbers and develop number sense using this interactive notebook set. Use this set to teach not only the vocabulary or composite and prime numbers, but also even, odd, multiples, and factors which students need to know to study this skill. The flip book encourages students to build arrays, write factor tables, and use multiples to discover the prime and composite numbers within 100. This notebooking set includes: Flip book8 prime, composite, factors, and multiples
