Making Math aMazing

This is a large poster (2'x3') that shows the basic rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing Integers. It is ready to have printed out and laminated. It can also be easily resized if it is too large for your needs. I also recently added a small, standard paper sized PDF copy for those of you who have issues with Publisher. However, I cannot guarantee that you will be able to size the PDF to a large poster size.

This file has 50 multiple choice questions that are based on the Common Core Standards for 7th grade Mathematics. It makes for a wonderful Pre-Assessment for the school year, or a Prior Knowledge Assessment. I have even used a version of this as a practice exam before the NYS Math Assessment and/or part of a Final Assessment for the end of the year. It is in Word, so it can be easily modified to suit your needs. An answer key is included on the last page. Thanks!

**Updated File Format** The Common Core Standards require that students in middle school know many of the Perfect Squares and Perfect Cubes. Students who know the first 15 of each will find many other topics, especially Pythagorean Theorem, much easier to deal with. This Poster Set contains two LARGE (18"x 24") posters. The first one has the Perfect Squares (up to 15) and their matching Square Roots. The second is the same, but with the first 15 Perfect Cubes and their matching Cube Roots. Tea

This is a large (2'x3') poster that shows the relationships between the various number systems within the real number systems. The file is ready to be printed and laminated or can be easily re-sized to fit your needs.

This foldable covers all the information that your students need when performing the basic operations with Integers, Fractions, and Decimals. It makes for a quick reference and is a great addition to student notes or an Interactive Notebook.

Do your students regularly mix up the difference between "factors" and "multiples". Mine do all the time. This large poster (2'x3') shows gives a basic definition of each term and an example of each. It is ready to have printed out and laminated. It can also be easily resized if it is too large for your needs. If you do not have MS Publisher, buy this poster and send me a message with your email. I can send you a small PDF version. It is great for interactive notebooks.

This set contain 54 pairs of matching cards to reinforce the skill of translating verbal math to algebraic expressions and/or equations. Teachers: Print copies on cardstock and cut out. The cards are easily sorted by the different borders. Use them as a group activity to see which group can find all the matches first. You can also give just the verbal cards and have students write the expression/equation. Or give them the algebra cards and have them write a verbal expression for it. Talk a

This file includes both student notes with practice and additional practice pages that can be used as classwork or homework. The four basic operations are shown with integers. The notes are in a "fill-in-the-blank" format which can be copied and put in the students binders. This format streamlines the teaching process by limiting the amount of time needed for students to copy the notes. Included with the file is an answer key for the blanks on the notes pages.

This is a great activity to help students understand comparing numbers that are written in Scientific Notation. The first part is for the entire class. Teacher will need to have a Smart Board and have three of the random dice on the screen. Students take turns "rolling" the three dice and the class works together to make the largest and smallest number they can with the three digits rolled. The second part is a partner game that will require each pair of students having three dice or number cu

This is a large (2'x3') poster that shows the basics of ratios and solving proportions by cross multiplication. The file is ready to be printed and laminated or can be easily re-sized to fit your needs.

These sheets are a great addition to your students’ notebooks/binders. They cover four common, but often confused, concepts: Fractions, Decimals, Integer Operations, and Ratio/Proportions. Even better is that they come in both English and Spanish!! Copies of these guides can be printed and put directly into students’ binders. They can also be cut into individual pieces and taped or glued into an Interactive Notebook.

NEW AND IMPROVED!! AND STILL FREE! HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL TO ALL!! What used to be a single poster is now THREE smaller sized posters! (18"by 24") Thanks to the idea from a follower, (thanks Amy B.) it now includes 7 different 3-D objects. Included is rectangular prism, cube, triangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone and sphere. It is ready to have printed out and laminated. It can also be easily re-sized if it is too large/small for your needs. ENJOY! UPDAED!! I also recently added a smal

Here is a meaningful way to stress the importance of number sense in our students. Many "Number of the Day" activities are available, but they are all geared for lower grade levels. This "Number of the Week" activity takes things to the middle school level. Along with basic number sense, there is also Prime Factorization, Equations, Exponents and Square Roots, Scientific Notation, and Percent.

This is a set of 30 cards containing a variety of addition and subtraction expressions with integers. Students can use them as a matching activity where they work to find the pairs of cards that have the same answers. They can also be used as standard flash cards. The answers and pair matches are included. This past school year, my students came up with another fun way to use the cards. They called it "Integer Race". Two students play against each other, and will each need a piece of paper. The

This worksheet is great for getting kids to start seeing the numbers that are in the world all around them, all the time. They think of the numbers that describe themselves (age, date of birth, number of siblings, etc.) and use them to decorate their Interactive Math Notebook covers.

Being able to understand Scientific Notation is important for students in middle and high school science classes. And it's the job of the MATH teachers to see that they do understand. These are a set of "fill in the blank" style notes for writing and comparing numbers in Scientific Notation. They are easy enough for 5th graders but direct enough to be a quick review for older students. These notes are ready to copy for students, and have a teachers edition for filling in the blanks. **Check ou

Translating word problems into equations can be tricky for many students. This is a large poster (2'x3') that lists many of the more common words used to indicate the different operations, the use of a variable, and the need for an equal sign. It is ready to have printed out and laminated. It can also be easily resized if it is too large for your needs.

This foldable holds all the information students will need to preform the basic exponent calculations. It makes a quick reference for student notes or an Interactive Notebook. Teachers: Print the Foldable back to back. Be careful! Check one first to make sure it will be right side up when folded. I make this mistake all the time! This is meant to be folded in half. Have students cut on the dotted lines after filling in the inside section. A completed version is included. Enjoy!!

If you are anything like me, you are very picky about having your students completely showing their work in math class. These note sheets were used as a review at the end of our unit, but could easily be separated and used as guided notes in a regular notebook, or in an Interactive Math Notebook. All you would have to do is add some practice problems! Enjoy!

A fun way for your students to learn the differences between rational and irrational numbers. 24 different examples are cut and pasted onto construction paper to create a poster. Students will also write the definitions of "rational numbers" and " irrational numbers" and will give a written justification on two of the examples. Great for a group activity, or a fun way of giving a quiz! Can easily be modified for an IMN by shrinking the examples and having students glue or tape them into their i
