7.NS.A.3. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. Every year I struggle with getting my students to "decode" math word problems to determine what operations to use. It always seems that students do great with each operation individually but the moment words and mixed review are added the struggle intensifies. This year, I used this word sort which they then cut apart the words, glued on card-stock as a graphic organizer and then used this

I created this activity to use when introducing the idea of functions for my students. I tried to provide them a visual to remind them of what a function does and how to determine whether or not something is or is not a function by looking at a table. The flow chart then builds upon that idea by combining tables, ordered pairs and graphs to determine whether or not something is a function.

7.RP.3-2 "Use proportional relationships to solve multi-step percent problems" 7.EE.3 "Solve multi-step real life and mathematics problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole number, fractions and decimals). After finding that some of my lowest level students struggled with just organizing their problems and using a formula to solve simple interest scenarios, I created this organizer to help them plug numbers into the spots and then copy down their steps. I did
