This set includes 2 lesson plans, a discovery activity, a divisibility rules cheat sheet, task cards and a note catcher for a game of quiz-quiz trade. In the lesson plan, students will investigate which numbers are divisible by 2,3 and 6. They will then look for patterns. Students continue to make more discoveries along the way until the rules for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 are discussed. Students will get practice with the task cards as they use the protocol "quiz-quiz trade" to quiz classmate

I love using gallery walks as a way to get students out of their seats and moving! All you have to do is hang the stations along the wall in your classroom. In a gallery walk, students walk to each of the 10 stations and write down notes as they go. In this gallery walk, students will make inferences about the connections between numbers written in scientific notation and standard form. They will first make observations on their own and then have a discussion with classmates. This can be used a

I love using gallery walks as a way to introduce a topic and get students out of their seats and moving! All you have to do is hang the stations along the wall in your classroom. In a gallery walk, students walk to each of the 10 stations and write down notes as they go. In this gallery walk, students will make inferences about the connections between an inequality statement and its graph on the number line. They will first make observations on their own and then have a discussion with classmat

Adding and subtracting integers is one of the most challenging, but fundamental topics students learn during 7th grade math. As I have spent more time teaching this standard, I noticed that students did not have a firm grasp of number lines and that was contributing to misconceptions and errors when adding and subtracting negative numbers. This lesson is designed for students to explore the creation and properties of horizontal and vertical number lines to take ownership and use their knowledge

This lesson should be used for students that are being introduced to area models to represent problems of compound probability.

Students are posed with the question of noticing patterns when two negative numbers are added together. This leads to discussion, discovery and deeper learning that will stay with students after they leave your classroom for the day. Included you will find a lesson plan, google slides to guide the lesson and student materials (including a differentiated version for students that need a starting point). This lesson is accessible for all students and lends itself to extension for students that nee

I use this lesson on the very first day of our integer unit. Students are posed with the question of noticing patterns when two numbers are added together. Most students immediately say that the sum becomes greater - but this lesson allows students to explore a little deeper through conversations with classmates and making math arguments of their own. Included you will find a lesson plan, a do now to start the class period and student materials. This lesson is accessible for all students and le
