Make it Middle School

Inspired by Building Thinking Classrooms by Peter Liljedahl, this math content bundle encourages your students to think creatively and collectively.  The tasks in this bundle are designed to have your students working together in a vertical learning format.  All 171 problems focus on the standards and expectations in a middle school math class.  These problems, although designed for group work, can also be used for assessment and individual practice.

At the best of times, the study of fractions is still a difficult thing to do. The following game is meant to make fractions a little more fun. After you have worked through some of the basic operations and problem solving, this Powerpoint game can be used to assess student understanding. Students can also be put into groups and play against each other. You can modify some of the questions without changing the programming of the game too. It’s both fun and diagnostic at the same time!
