Write and solve one-step equations from real world word problem solving scenarios. Thirty-two rigorous task cards have students practice writing and solving one-step equations with a variety of numbers: integers, fractions, and decimals. The numbers have been selected so that students must use the inverse operation instead of being able to automatically “see” the answer. This activity is designed to be used once students are already familiar with one-step equations and not as an introductory les

Practice integers with seven math centers that cover a range of introductory skills students need to master integer operations. Integer vocabulary, integer modeling with algebra tiles, number lines, and tables, as well as problem solving are practiced in these math centers. Each game includes student instructions and a teacher guide to help you set up your center. Each activity also includes an answer key or an example of possible student work to make grading easy. Included in this collection

Learning ratios and proportions takes a lot of practice, and these differentiated task cards have 132 total questions that go with 44 real world and model scenarios. Students write ratios in word form, colon form, fraction form, and decimal form and solve proportional relationships and percent problems. Three levels of questions can be selected randomly by rolling dice or by the teacher with the differentiated dice cards to make the perfect practice for your students. The task cards can also

Model and solve equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign using the interactive notebook activity and task cards. The task cards include 12 word problems and 8 model diagram cards. The word problems include a variety of rational numbers: fractions, decimals, and integers. The models use objects and algebra tiles. The interactive notebook materials are a simple to print and cut page for your students to use to solve a word problem in their notebook and model the solution. The

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

Practice finding constants of proportionality or scale factor using these fun, monster themed task cards. Students use the task card to create a table, find proportional patterns, and write equations. From this students also write verbal relationship statements. To provide scaffolding for students, three types of Scaffold Cards are included that students can match to the scenario in their task card. The scaffolding comes in three levels: table cards, equation cards, and written relationship

Find rigorous and well-crafted proportionality, ratio, rate, and percent proportions materials that are perfect for your students! Between the resources in this bundle, you will find real-word word problems, strip diagrams (tape models), ratio tables, graphs, and models to help your students fully understand equivalent ratio problems. All 6th Grade ratio and proportion TEKS are addressed in the activities in this bundle. Check out the individual resources in the preview!What's included in this

Practice writing and solving one-step inequalities with this 24-count task card set. This task card set has 16 word problems, 8 balance model cards, a work mat and a recording sheet. The inequalities word problems are real world scenarios using a variety of rational numbers including fractions, decimals, integers, and whole numbers. The activity can be easily differentiated using a set of hint cards and the work mat that guides students with strategies to solve inequalities. Check out the p

This math center game has students practice creating algebraic expressions from expressions in word form. The phrases use a wide variety of vocabulary to allow students to become familiar with many ways of wording. Look at the cards in the preview to see the multiple phasing of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division expressions! For example, a student is asked to write algebraic expressions for subtraction from phrases using the following wording: *subtract from *remove from *minu

Practice interpreting common inequality statements using this BINGO game to read, write, and graph inequalities. This math game will help your students become familiar with common phrases used to express inequality statements and discern greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to situations. Ten ready-to-go BINGO boards are ready to print and play for small group practice or math centers. A blank BINGO board is included if you want to have your students choose
