Manipulating Math Minds

This file contains 34 cards that "I have, who has" cards that are to be distributed to students. Hopefully 34 is more than you will need during any one class! It is a looping set, meaning that the last solution "answers" the first card. This version is addition and subtraction of integers only. This is a great way to review before moving on to multiplication and dvision of integers. Enjoy! Integers, TEKS, Core Standards, Test Prep, Review, Activity, Game, Fun,

This file contains many activites, and templates for a fun filled week of Pi Day Celebrations! It includes two pages of Pi Day/Week ideas, the supporting documents for those activites, and 5 t-shirt templates for teachers to wear, The activities and templates include: Geometry WS (circumference, area, surface area, and volume) Graphing ordered pairs WS Favorite Pie flavor survey Pi calculation sheets Pi Memorization contest blanks and customizable certificates for winners Pi chain "pieces" an

This file contains an editable PowerPoint Bingo game, a reproducable blank Bingo card to be printed for each student, and the solution to the game.This game reviews basic understanding of integer rules. Problems in the file include all four operations, as well as four real world applications that must be set up then evaluated. This is a great way to review at the end of an integer unit, or before state testing. STAAR, TEKS, Integers, Core Standards, Test Prep, Review, Activity, Game, Fun

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 is used for higher grades

Solving equations is a skill that has to be mastered for students to perform basic algebraic operations in later years. While it seems so logical to me, my students often struggled with what steps are to be taken first (+, -, x, ÷), even though it is just order of operations…in reverse. A few years ago, I started using “Equation Estates” to teach this, and the confusion no longer exists. We even had a little fun along the way! I teach JH, and they can TOTALLY relate to this set up!

This file contains a set of 60 matching cards (30 expressions and 30 solutions) that review multiplication and division of integers. Each sheet has 6 expression cards, followed by the corresponding solution cards. You may choose to make multiple sets and have groups work with all 60 at once. Or, you can prepare fewer sets, and place 1 to 2 sheets worth of cards at stations and have students rotate. I have also included a worksheet for students to document their work, as well as a solution

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 file is a BUNDLE of two activities that I have listed. I am bundling these 2 sets at a 15% discount off the non-bundle price. You NEVER know when you will lose WiFi at school! This way, you can plan on using WiFi, but have a backup if needed. Both versions of the activity contain a set of 60 matching cards (30 expressions and 30 solutions). You may choose to make multiple sets for studnets to work with all 60 at once. Or, you might make fewer sets and have students work with smalle
