Manipulating Math Minds

This file contains a Powerpoint Wheel of Fortune style game template, complete with a working scoreboard, a spinning wheel, and 8 fully customizable rounds of play. I have also added sounds when correct (applause), and incorrect (expolsions) letter choices are made on the sample screen so you can see how they work, and can click on the animation panes to see one set completed. I have included step by step instructions to create your own rounds of play. My students love to play games, and I am

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! The ba

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

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
