I have taught math for 29 years in grades 6 - 8. My classes have included many different populations of students, including general education, Special Ed, English Learners, Intervention, and Math Honors or Math Accelerated.
Students will practice writing algebraic expressions and simplify them to represent the perimeter of different polygons (rectangles, triangles, trapezoid, pentagon, hexagon, and parallelogram). They will use the Distributive Property, then simplify by collecting like terms. This is a good exercise for learning how to see perimeter algebraically and not just adding up numbers. This resource includes 1 worksheet (1 multiple choice + 10 problems) with an answer key. Terms of Use are included in th
Students can practice reflecting basic shapes (rectangles and triangles) over the x-axis or the y-axis. The answer key will have the pre-image and image. This resource includes a worksheet (6 problems), an answer key and Terms of Use. Abridged is a series of worksheets designed for students working on a reduced workload, who need academic support or are in an intervention class. There may also be some modification to the assignment to make it more manageable. Work is to be completed on the whol
This resources includes: Measuring Angles (17 problems), Constructing Angles (8 problems) and Answer Keys. The size of these angles is best used with a small protractor (about 3-4 inches long on the straightedge). Angle measures end in 5 or 0 for both measuring and constructing. Terms of Use are included in the file download. You might also like: Constructing Angles - One Page Interactive Notes
This worksheet has practice with multiplying polynomials by writing and simplifying algebraic expressions for the area of rectangles. Each length and width is either a whole number, monomial, binomial, or trinomial. This resource includes a worksheet ( 1 multiple choice + 13 problems) and an answer key (steps shown). Other resources in multiplying polynomials: Multiplying Binomials - Area of Squares (Trinomial Squares)Multiplying Polynomials - Area of TrianglesMultiplying Binomials - Area of Re
In Common Core Math 6, students learn to plot points in all four quadrants of the Coordinate Plane. This resource includes: A 2-page assignment, an exit ticket, and all answer keys. Problems offered include graphing points from ordered pairs, identifying ordered pairs from plotted points, identifying the quadrant or axis the point is located, fill in the blank, short response and multiple choice questions. Problems and questions are targeted at learning how to graph and identify ordered pairs
In Common Core Math 6, students become familiar with plotting points in the Coordinate Plane and finding the distance from one point to another. They must be able to use these techniques to solve mathematical problems, such as perimeter and area. This resource includes: A 2-page assignment, an exit ticket, and all answer keys. Problems offered include plotting points (to draw polygons), identifying polygons (rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids), finding perimeter and/or area w
Students write and solve one- and two-step equations using complementary angles to find the value of x and/or the missing angle. Problems include whole number and decimal angle measures. This resource includes 2 worksheets and answer keys. Terms of Use are included in the file download. The types of problems included are: - Complementary Angles #1: identifying right angles, fill in the blanks, calculating and writing one-step equations to solve for x from a diagram (whole numbers and decimals)
Students can practice how to translate a given point following the directions given. The directions are in words, NOT written as an ordered pair. Students will also need to identify the image coordinates after the translation so it's easier to check the answers. This resource includes a worksheet (9 problems), an answer key and Terms of Use. Abridged is a series of worksheets designed for students working on a reduced workload, who need academic support or are in an intervention class. There may
In this assignment, students can practice writing equations for complementary (4 problems) and supplementary angles (4 problems), then solve for x. The answers only check for the value of x, not the equation. This is a good activity for use at the end of learning both lessons and it is also self-checking so students can work more independently. I like to use these types of activities to give an additional day of practice for those who nearly met or met the standard, while I can pull a small g
In Common Core Math 6, students learn to find the area of parallelograms. They must be able to identify the shape, then use its base and height to find the area. This resource includes: A 2-page assignment, an exit ticket, and all answer keys. Problems offered include finding area with whole numbers and decimals (no fractions), short response and multiple choice. Problems and questions are targeted at learning how to find the area of a parallelogram. The Learning Objective is a practice series
Students will graph and find the area of polygons in the Coordinate Plane while completing an interactive activity. Students will define area and then graph the polygons (a rectangle, parallelogram, triangle, and a trapezoid). The top cutouts have the problems for graphing, and under the flaps students can show their work for finding the area. One Page Interactive Notes for Math are designed to be a standalone interactive activity. Students can use them as another source of notes, additional pra
This self-check worksheet has plenty of practice for writing and solving equations with vertical angles. Students can see right away what vertical angles look like without having to figure it out from drawings with multiple angles. Thus, this can be good for an introduction to vertical angles and writing and solving equations for them. This resource includes a worksheet (8 problems) and an answer key. Terms of Use are also included in the file download. Random Word of the Day is a series of stud
This can be a good beginner exercise for reflection of a point over the x-axis or y-axis. After reflection, students will need to write the ordered pair for the image. This resource includes a worksheet (9 problems), an answer key and Terms of Use. Abridged is a series of worksheets designed for students working on a reduced workload, who need academic support or are in an intervention class. There may also be some modification to the assignment to make it more manageable. Work is to be complet
Give students more practice substituting into the Pythagorean Theorem with this assignment. Students will use the formula to find missing side lengths for a leg or hypotenuse. All unknown side lengths will be whole numbers. This resource includes: A 2-page assignment, an exit ticket, and all answer keys. Problems offered include working with whole numbers and square roots, short response and multiple choice. Problems and questions are mainly targeted at learning how to use the Pythagorean Theo
In this assignment, the area of different polygons (rectangle, parallelogram, triangle and trapezoid) can be determined as whole numbers or decimals. This resource includes a worksheet (10 problems) and an answer key.

In this activity, students will be constructing the four different types of angles - acute, right, obtuse, and straight and organizing them into an interactive note page. Angle names and measures are given, with space for students to draw one (or two) angles of each type as practice or note-taking. This resource includes: 1 Foundation Page with directions on the left side, and problems on the right side 1 Cutouts Page to be cut and pasted onto the foundation page Answer Keys have angles draw fro
This activity includes labeling and describing four different types of polygons (rectangle, parallelogram, triangle, and trapezoid), then finding the area of each polygon. The top cutouts describe and identify parts of the polygon and the area formula to use. Under the flaps students can show their work for finding the area. One Page Interactive Notes for Math are designed to be a standalone interactive activity. Students can use them as another source of notes, additional practice, or an inter
