Loera Lessons

A scavenger hunt is a great way for students to self-assess. This scavenger hunt contains 10 word problems that the students can work independently or with a partner. Directions: Start at a page and copy this symbol or animal in the first column, work the word problem out on the middle column and write you answer in the last column. Once they find the answer, then they will look for the answer on the top right hand side. They will then go to that page and solve that problem. The answer to the l

In this activity students will use playing cards and dominoes to discover that when you multiply a number by a fraction less than 1, the product will be less than the original factor. TEKS 6.3B determine, with and without computation, whether a quantity is increased or decreased when multiplied by a fraction, including values greater than or less than one

In this station a pair of students will each draw 20 cards out of a deck of cards, they will individually create a Box Plot (Box and Whiskers). After both of them create their own box plot, they will trade papers with their partner and will answer a series of questions about their partner's box plot. Aces = 1 Jacks = 11 Queens = 12 Kings = 13 Also provided in Spanish (see 2nd Page)

During these stations student will use their Student Response page to go to 7 different stations to find the scale factor and the missing side of various similar figures.

This hands on activity allows students to explore the relationship between ratios and what the difference between part to whole, part to part, and making predictions by using colorful candy like M&Ms, skittles, Sweet Tarts, etc.

This cooperative-learning technique has students review information with other students by asking and answering questions. Working with peers in a nonthreatening manner while builing confidence, encourages greater participation, and results in more thoughtful discussions. How to Use 1. Provide each student with a card. One side of the card has a question and the other side provides the answer. 2. Pair UpUse the stand up/hands up/pair up method for students to find a partner.  Partner A holds up

This foldable designed to go into an Interactive Notebook has a purpose to train the students in the order of operations. High School teachers have asked that we change the acronym of PEMDAS to GEMDAS. Where the G is for grouping symbols.

These notes, when cut out will fit perfectly in a composition book. 6.6A: The student is expected to identify independent and dependent quantities from tables and graphs. 6.6B: Write an equation that represents the relationship between independent and dependent quanitites from a table 6.6C: representa given situation using verbal descriptions, tables, graphs, eqyations, in the form of y = kx and y = x + b

In this activity students will cut out the 2D and 3D shapes and match it to the formula from the State of Texas STAAR chart.

Objective: TLW solve the problems and search for the answer around the classroom. Once they find the answer, then they will go to that page and solve that problem. The answer to the last problem will be where the student began. If the student gets the incorrect answer and gets to the page that they started with before they get to the end, then you know that they made a mistake. If a student is absent or is more successful working independently, there is an assessment that has the exact same que

In this graphic organizer, the student will fill in the areas for the part to total and use the "1" to see that in order to find the %, you can multiply the top and bottom of the ratio by "1" to get the percent. Laminate so the students can use it over and over with dry erase markers.

Use this as a reinforcement in problem situations matching to the inequality, to the solution, and to the graphing of the solution. I have also used this to make groups of four.

This foldable is a guide to help student understand the B in the formula.

Here is a great little practice or center for dividing integers. The students cut out the cards and match the edges that are equal. You can either have them glue to a sheet of paper or laminate it for repeated uses.

In this game, the students will play it in "go-fish: style. The students will match word, numerical, part of a whole, and part of a group, as a set. The student with the most 4-card sets wins.

This road map is for the interactive notebook that displays the relationship between the radius, diameter, and the circumference.

This is for the interactive notebook that can be used to show all the different ways patterns and the nth term can be used and tested on.

In this matching game, students must match the 3-D net to it's proper name.
