Manipulating Math Minds

My students ALWAYS cringe when they hear me say the word “fractions”. But that is not necessary if they can learn to use a 12 x 12 or 15 x 15 multiplication chart to work “Magic”. In this zipped file you will get a complete lesson for simplifying fractions (one lesson that is in a complete bundle I have listed for sale) by using a completed multiplication chart. It includes the following: • 12 x 12 multiplication chart for students to complete (and key). • 15 x 15 multiplication chart for s

My students ALWAYS cringe when they hear me say the word “fractions”. But that is not necessary if they can learn to use a 12 x 12 or 15 x 15 multiplication chart to work “Magic”. In this file you are getting a full week’s worth of activities on fraction operations (Simplifying, Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, and Dividing): • 12 x 12 multiplication chart for students to complete (and key). • 15 x 15 multiplication chart for students to complete (and key).

This activity is designed to be used weekly (all year) to reinforce comparing and ordering numbers, and the numbers get more complex as the year progresses. The students will start with just positive integers, and end with ordering all forms of numbers on a single number line. To use this activity, you will need to hang a taught piece of string or yarn somewhere in your room that is easily accessible to all students upon their entry to the room. Each student will be given a number and needs t

This file contains two versions of an activity to familiarize students with equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents. This can be an individual activity or completed with a partner. Version 1 - Students will cut apart a scrambled puzzle sheet and glue them onto a blank 5 x 5 square template. The numbered squares make it easy to check for accuracy. Version 2 - The 5 x 5 sheet needs to be printed on cardstock, laminated, and cut apart before distributing them to students. Students will ju

This activity is designed to be used a fun review for converting between fractions, decimals, and percents.. As students enter the room, you will tape a number to their back (they will not look at it). They can only as "yes" or "no" questions until they determine the value of their number. Once they do that, they will then go to the front of the room to create a human number line based on how their number compares to the rest of the class.
