Making Math aMazing

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!

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.

The district I work in has very rigid policies regarding after school detention, so

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
