Mad Math Mind

This resource was built out of necessity. I needed a quick, self-checking one step equations resource that was accessible to low level students, but not so easy that high flyers could instinctually know the solutions with mental math. The reason this resource explicitly states to use algebraic thinking is because early middle school teachers tend to do students a disservice by ignoring the crucial teaching of algebraic thinking. One- and two-step problems in earlier grades may be able to be ment

This is a bundle of great google forms for students to practice calculating with percentages using conceptual models via percent double number lines. The digital copy of this resource provides some extra scaffolding via hints to help students get started, unlike the paper-copy version that is listed below. The suggested sequencing is as follows: Part 1: 25% IncrementsPart 2: 10% IncrementsPart 3: Mixed PracticeThis digital resource can be used in isolation, or it can be paired with the paper cop

This is a great google form for students to practice calculating with percentages using conceptual models via percent double number lines. This particular version includes working with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The digital copy of this resource provides some extra scaffolding via worked out examples and a think aloud for students to read that are not a part of the paper-only copy. This digital resource is designed as Part 1 of a multi-part series. Part 2: 10% IncrementsPart 3: Mixed PracticeT

This resource was created to remove the challenge of formatting solving an equation algebraically. Students have helpful boxes in which to place the inverse operations done to both sides of the equation. I have found in my experience of using this worksheet that struggling students respond really well to the chance to think more about the operations that need to be done than where to write in the math. The boxes provided also hint at which operation needs to be undone first in order to solve the

Quick notes for computation and thought process of solving basic percent application word problems. Includes tax, tip, gratuity, discount, sale, sale price, and commission. Also includes a reminder on how to turn a percent into a decimal prior to multiplication. A low-ink or no color version of the notes is also provided as page two.

This is a great google form for students to practice calculating with percentages using conceptual models via percent double number lines. This particular version includes working with 10% increments, like 10%, 20%, 30%, and so on. It also includes 5%. The digital copy of this resource provides some extra scaffolding via hints to help students get started. This digital resource is designed as part three of a multi-part series. Part 1: 25% IncrementsPart 2: 10% IncrementsPart 3: Mixed PracticeThi

This worksheet was designed to provide either a remedial or supported practice, or, if given to upper-level students, it could be given with no support or introduction for students to discover the process. I wanted to support addition via the number line model in the most basic way possible. I always introduced this worksheet by reminding students about how elementary number lines went, that adding moved up and subtracting moved down. In that case, you were always working in positives. So, addit
