Equivalent Fractions, Decimals, & Percents - Halloween or Fall Practice / Review:
This activity is great practice for equivalent fractions and converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. It works best if you print the activity sheets for each student / group and then print the sets of pumpkin pieces on cardstock (preferably orange). You can laminate the pieces to re-use year-to-year to reduce cutting time or you can just print and have students cut out their own pieces the night bef
This is a short activity for practicing integer addition. Students are paired up and draw cards which show money earned or money spent. Each student must track all income and expenses on the bank balance sheet in their “checkbook.”
In order to keep a running total in the bank book, each student must add positive and negative integers. The partner with a higher balance after all ten entries is the winner.
Print one worksheet per student and one set of cards (2 pages) for each pair of stud
