Converting between customary units of capacity "doodle notes" - When students color or doodle in math class, it activates both hemispheres of the brain at the same time. There are proven benefits of this cross-lateral brain activity: - new learning - relaxation (less math anxiety) - visual connections - better memory & retention of the content! Students fill in the sheets, answer the questions, and color, doodle or embellish. Then, they can use it as a study guide later on. Content includes

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

Fraction Operations (Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying & Dividing Fractions and Mixed Numbers) - Golf Game: This is a fun way to work through practice problems with fractions. (Mixed numbers included, but no negatives.) Students "play" each hole on the course (5 hole-worksheet) by pulling a "driver" card, then an "iron" and then as many "putter" cards as necessary to sink the ball (get one right). Each card has a problem with fraction addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. The g

This is a great activity for practicing adding and subtracting integer addition and subtraction. Students put together matches from cut up rectangles. A "match" is a pair of expressions with the same result when simplified. This works well as practice, homework, partner work, review, or even as a group quiz. Check out the preview to see how it looks! *** This activity is also included in a larger DISCOUNTED bundle: Integers Activity Bundle For related resources, try: MATCH - Slope-Intercep
