This is an activity worksheet/labsheet to use when teaching science process skills. It is for use when teaching about "predicting". The teacher passes out a small cup of M & Ms. The instructions are on the labsheet. The student may eat the M & Ms after completing the activity worksheet/labsheet. Of course, it is important that the teacher checks to determine if anyone in the class has a food allergy to chocolate or other ingredients in the candy. This activity could also be modified to use

If you're looking for a way to celebrate the 100th day of school and you teach older children, here is a math Tic Tac Toe project that is customizable and geared toward 4th-7th graders. Just about all components are included in the project, from measurement to numbers and operations to probability to time. A grading sheet is included.

Math teachers in North Carolina of grades 5-8 are required to teach their students how to express their answers in open- or gridded responses boxes for their End-of-Grade tests. This activity helps students to not only practice their skills at dividing by one-digit numbers but to also practice how to enter answers in the gridded-response boxes. Can be used for any other state, too, but is geared toward North Carolina. Enjoy!

Are your students having difficulties with remembering what a "perpendicular line" is or what "regular" means as it applies to a geometric figure? This picture book project asks students to find examples of geometry in everyday life, thus helping them to make the connection between geometric concepts in the classroom and geometric concepts in the real world. Students may use the Internet, magazines, books, or their own drawings to create the book. Books can be printed out with clip art picture

This bookmark can be used to help students remember certain strategies become more successful in math. For those of you who utilize the Response to Intervention program, this bookmark can be used for the "math reasoning" intervention as a learning strategy. I have printed out a bookmark for every one of my students so they can refer to it in class or at home. It can be printed out on white cardstock and cut apart for student use. Only one side of the card prints at a time, but the card can be

If you are looking for something fun to use for informal evaluation, this activity fits the bill! This is an interactive activity involving adding and subtracting like fractions. There are 22 cards, and each one features both an adding and subtracting word problem. For younger children, students could work with a partner; for the older students, it is best used as individual work. An answer key is provided. The activity correlates with the Common Core Standard 4.NF.B.3c.

Looking for a creative way to reinforce the concepts of "equivalent fractions" and "benchmark fractions"? Dominoes are a great way to represent fractions! This sheet combines writing equivalent fractions with determining benchmark fractions, such as "closer to zero", "closer to 1/2", or closer to one. My students have enjoyed working on this assignment; hope yours do, too!

Learning to multiply by two- and three-digit numbers can be difficult and rather boring for students. Pick Five! is a game involving five index cards, a place to show multiplication steps, and it has that certain element of chance which makes multiplication a bit more fun! Students will play the game in pairs. Each pair will receive five index cards on which they will write five random digits from 1 to 9. (I made the cards for my students in advance of playing the game so that they could ac
