Manipulating Math Minds

This file contains easy to follow class notes, as well as coordinating worksheets and answer keys for translations, reflections, dilations, and rotations as well as a stations review activity to use after the unit has been taught. The notes and the worksheet start with concrete examples displayed on graphs. Then, they progress to more abstract problems without graphs. STAAR, Core Standards, transformations, geometry, dilation, translation, reflection, rotation I have also posted coordinating

This file contains the instructions, worksheets, and a rubric for a FUN sorting and graphing activity. Each child gets a small snack pack of skilltes. They are first asked to answer a few general questions about what they THINK will be in the bag when they open it. Then, they will sort out the colors and create a bar graph and a pie chart. BEWARE, getting them to count BEFORE eating can be a challenge, so make sure you set the ground rules before passing out the packs. This could be done wi

This file contains all you need to set up an interactive notebook...except for the actual notebook. I have used interactive notebooks for the past 10 years and cannot imagine teaching without one!
