Manipulating Math Minds

Looking for a new way to assess mastery of a concept? Why not try a maze? Students will start the activity at the "START" arrow and continue through the maze until they reach the “END” space multiplying polynomials the entire way! I have included a color copy (if you would prefer to laminate them to use in future years as an in class activity), and a white copy that could be used as homework. Plus the solution key. My students always look forward to activities. If yours do too, you might

When spring is in the air, I cannot help but think about BASEBALL!!! However, we still have several months of school remaining. So why not combine the two? This file contains 2 baseball themed quadratic equations worksheets. The first one requires students to test for factorability of quadratic equations by using the discriminant. The second requires students to use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations. And as always, I have included both solution keys. Together, they serve

This file contains 2 interest foldables (that are sold in other bundles in my store). One is simple interest using the formula I = PRT. The second is compound interest using the formula A = P(1+r)^t. And as always, I have included both solution keys. Together, they serve as a nice introduction to interest including vocabulary, proper use of the formulas and problems that require students to calculate just interest as well as ending account balances. These would pair well with the self-chec

Spring is an awesome time of year, and when I usually teach my financial literacy unit. So why not make a few worksheets that combine the two? This file contains 2 self check interest worksheets(that are sold in other bundles in my store). One is simple interest using the formula I = PRT. The second is compound interest using the formula A = P(1+r)^t. And as always, I have included both solution keys. Together, they serve as a nice introduction to interest, as well as an appropriately timed

This file contains 2 simple interest components (that are sold in other bundles in my store). One is a foldable to guide the students through using the formula I=PRT. The second is a self checking riddle WS that covers the same topic. And as always, I have included both solution keys. Together, they serve as a nice introduction to simple interest including vocabulary, proper use of the formula and problems that require students to calculate just interest as well as ending account balances.

This file contains worksheets and answer keys for translations, reflections, dilations, and rotations. The assignments wll 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 scavenger hunt activities that make great reviews. I have a QR code set, a non QR set, and a bundle of both. Plus, I have a bundle o
