I have been teaching middle school math for 18 years. I taught many years using Engage NY, so the rigor is very high and I would use lots of interactive notebook entries to help scaffold. When classroom teaching I specialized in interactive notebook entries to support learning, and fun ways for scholars to practice their skills. I am now a math interventionist and focus on creating work to target specific misconceptions and struggles, while keeping things fun.

This is an interactive notebook entry we used about what to do when you are using long division, and you get a reminder. It shows (using color coded directions) how to add a decimal and zeros, and gives directions about how far to take it out.

This document would be very easy to edit for your own class needs.

We used this as additional practice for Module 2 in Engage NY for 5th grade. This document provides 34 practice problems. Each practice problem requires scholars to find the value of the expression, and either create an expression from words or describe an expression with words. This document would also be great to introduce different uses for parentheses (do this first, multiply), and math vocabulary (double, triple, quadruple, sum, difference, product, quotient, expression, value of an express

How to Play
This game can be played with 2-4 players, you need different color markers for each player, and 2 dice
1. 1st player rolls two dice; the sum of the 2 dice is the problem to solve
2. Solve the problem, and find the answer below in the squares, then:
