This activity has been updated to reflect the 2020 Pi Day! I've also included an additional certificate page that leaves the year blank, and removes the ranking piece. Two traditional pi-day activities and an award certificate! Included: Pi Day Challenge "Flyer" - Students are given the first 350 digits of Pi, they have to memorize them and recite them to the class Pi Day Challenge Award Certificate x 2 Pi Day Word Challenge Sheet - How many words can you think of with "pi" in them?

This is a technique used to help students understand the concept of integers. Students must relate integers to a topic that they understand, money. They must write a word problem that expresses the addition or subtraction problem, and then use that word problem to help them correctly solve the question.

This is a differentiated Mad Lib Activity for multiplying and dividing positive and negative fractions, decimals, and percents. The activity contains three differentiated versions for low, medium, and high ability. The three versions include a review of: Multiplying/Dividing Integers Multiplying/Dividing Positive and Negative Fractions Multiplying/Dividing Positive and Negative Decimals Multiplying/Dividing Rational # Word Problems Fraction/Decimal/Percent Conversions The download includes

This is an interactive SMART Notebook lesson on how to convert fractions to decimals, decimals to fractions, and decimals to percents. It includes practice problems after each topic. Note: Slide #3 there is a recording that shows the process used to change a fraction into a decimal.

Included in this file are six different ratio review stations. Assorted practice problems and word problems. Recording sheet also included. Great for a day where you just need to observe students working together. Topics Included: -Station1: Writing Ratios -Station2: Identifying Proportional Relationships/Solving Ratios -Station3: Solving Ratios with Word Problems -Station4: Percent Proportions with and without Word Problems -Station5: Unit Rate and Ratios in Tables -Station6: Coordinate Graph

This activity has students look through two different pre-made "circulars" and compare unit cost. There is a recording sheet as well as extension questions for the early-finishers. See Preview.

This is an interactive activity that allows the students to have fun combining like terms! This purchase includes a 2-sided recording worksheet and 7 differentiated dice templates, each with 6 different expressions on each side. Students work in groups or pairs and start by rolling 2 expression dice. They record the expressions, and combine like terms on the recording sheet. Once they complete the first page (which has room for 8 problems), they are given an additional dice and now must comb

This file consists of 2-page notes on Cross Multiplication (with a quick review on how to solve a proportion on the first page) and a 2-page quiz. See preview.

This is an outline and rubric that guides students through creating their own board game about Fractions Decimals and Percents. Topics included within the checklist are: Fraction Addition, Fraction Subtraction, Fraction Multiplication, Fraction Division, Decimal Addition, Decimal Subtraction, Decimal Multiplication, Decimal Division, Ordering Fractions; Ordering Decimals; Fractions on a Number Line, Decimals on a Number Line, Fraction/Decimal/Percent Conversions, and Estimation.

This is a mini-unit created for percent proportions! It has several different worksheets in it that should span for about 3-days. Homework assignments and a quiz included! See Preview. This Mini-Unit includes: -Initial Notes on Percent Proportions (2-Pages) -Homework on Percent Proportions (1-Page) -Initial Notes on Percent Proportion Word Problems (1-Page) -Homework on Percent Proportion Word Problems (1-Page) -Discount Warm-Up Slip (1/3 Page) -Percent Proportions Mixed Review Quiz (2-Pages)

Students will identify patterns to discover the meaning of ratios. Inquiry style learning. 2-Page notes that allow students to discuss, instead of just copying down words! See Preview.

This activity allows for differentiation. There are two types of "Turkeys" Fraction Turkeys: Students must cut out the turkey feathers and arrange the fraction feathers from least to greatest on the turkey. Version A is more difficult than Version B. Decimal Turkeys: Students must cut out the turkey feathers and arrange the decimal feathers from least to greatest on the turkey. Version A is more difficult than Version B.

This provides a very basic understanding of Ratios and provides practice on how to write a ratio in three different ways; using words, odds notation, and fraction notation. See Preview

Included in this file are guided notes, homework, and a warm-up slip discussing Unit Rate and comparing Unit Rates. See Preview.

Students will practice the following skills: Converting Fractions, Decimals, and Percents Multiplying/Dividing Fractions All Operations of Decimals This is a quick, fun holiday activity for students to work on! They must solve each question and then color the space on the elf picture with the appropriate color (based upon their answer choice). This download includes the question worksheet, question answer key, coloring sheet, and coloring sheet answer key

This is a Ratio, Proportion, Percent Unit Test. There are 30 questions covering all topics (writing ratios, solving ratios, unit rate, solving proportions, percents, etc.). This is a Word Document so it can be modified to your liking.

Students will create ratios using their own quantities of silly things, showing that you truly can compare anything! They are asked to write this in words notation, odds notation, and fraction notation. This is designed as a partner activity so that students can swap papers and check each other's work. Could also be sent home as an individual homework assignment. See Preview.

This is a PowerPoint presentation that is used to emphasize the meaning of being in/out of proportion. The presentation goes through the crazy proportions of Barbie and G.I. Joe as if they were human size, discusses the Ape Ratio, and Head Length: Height Ratio used to draw people. This is a fun way to start the class, then move on to having students take their own measurements and calculate their ratios in comparison to Barbie or G.I. Joe!

2-Page quiz that looks at various representations of functions (tables, diagrams, and graphs) and also slope-intercept form (graphs, tables, and word problems)

Students work through four scaffolded integer problems, two addition and two subtraction. They are asked guiding questions to help determine their answer. For example: "Are the signs the same or different?" or "Will your final answer be positive or negative?" Great activity for differentiated instruction!
