Manipulating Math Minds

This file includes everything you need for a full week of REAL WORLD Math! To begin this weeklong activity, I teach a lesson on converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. The following day, I teach how to calculate, and the impact of, discounts and sales tax. The notes, practice worksheets, and keys are included for both of these introductory lessons. Once these two background lessons have been mastered, the real fun begins. On days three and four, I have SALES signs posted all

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 12 worksheet and keys for the Geometry unit (approx 3 weeks). Each worksheet has a few basic cumputational problems, and concludes with one or two VERY rigorous multi-step application problems, Each application problem has at least one measurement conversion, and usually involves money as well. I created these this year, and by the end of the unit my students were begging for "easy" HW. When they told me that, I knew I had accomplished what I set out to do, help prepare th
