Math is Marvelous

This product was created to help students write one-step equations from word problems that are based on a single math operation (either addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division). For each problem, the problem is stated and it asks for an equation to be written and solved. A graphic organizer is given that provides space for the first number, the operation, the second number and a variable to represent the unknown (the answer). The student is reminded to check that the answer makes s

This product has a graphic organizer for adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators and for subtracting mixed numbers with unlike denominators. The method DOES NOT USE BORROWING. The organizer allows the student to write numbers in the graphic organizer and has two organizers per sheet. This product allows the student more autonomy in completing their work if he/she is learning the process. An example of using the graphic organizer is provided. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.

This product has a Graphic Organizer for converting or changing a number in mixed number form to improper fraction form. This product includes a full-page version and a version with 4 graphic organizers on it.

These graphic organizers help the students multiply and divide mixed numbers. They may also be used for multiplying or dividing a mixed number and a fraction (by ignoring one of the "whole number" boxes). There are two organizers per page for each type. The steps are described verbally, and shapes are provided to visually help the student complete the process. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.

This product was created to have students make mini-posters of multiplying fractions and simplifying their answer. Two different designs are included. One of the designs provides space for the students to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator in order to simplify the fraction. The mini-posters were kept especially simple so that the work will look elegant and not "busy". Students should have reviewed and practiced multiplying and simplifying fractions before

This product is a template for students to create mini-posters or complete fraction addition with unlike denominators by multiplying both fractions by a form of 1 created from the other fraction's denominator. In other words, the addition is done by "multiplying the denominators". This is the strategy I am teaching/reteaching my students before teaching finding and using the least common denominator. The product includes a page with 4 graphic organizers for the students to use to add unlike

These two worksheets present a total of 30 expressions that are to be evaluated using given values for the variables. One worksheet has basic (easy) expressions for beginners. Both worksheets have expressions including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The worksheets provide ample space for students to show their work. Answers are included. There are no negative integer values for the variables.

Students can improve their skill of converting between fractions, decimals, and percents, and their conceptual understanding of probabilities using this fun product. The product includes a 6-part spinner with 6 different Summer-themed images. The student is asked to predict the probability outcomes, then perform an experiment by spinning a paper clip a number of times while keeping a record of the number of landings on each item. A table is provided for the student to record tally marks, fract

This product is a worksheet & tabular graphic organizer all-in-one. It includes a total of 24 fraction addition problems where the denominators are unlike. The graphic organizer is in table form with the steps described in the column headings and an example on each page. The steps given are: finding the least common multiple/denominator of the two denominators, setting up with addition problem showing multiplying by numbers (fractions in the form of 1) to arrive at common denominators, the

The product includes a 6- part spinner with 4 different Christmas-themed images. The student is asked to predict the probability outcomes, then perform an experiment by spinning a paper clip 30 times while keeping a record of the number of landings on each item. A table is provided for the student to record tally marks, fractions,

This product has 10 beginner input-output tables in horizontal form. This product was created for practice using horizontal tables. Related term: Function tables

I noticed my students needed more scaffolding to combine like terms correctly. So I created a table as a graphic organizer of the steps to complete to combine like terms. The column headings guide students through the steps to get to the simplified answer. One page is the beginner level. The second page removes part of the scaffolding to have students less dependent on the graphic organizer. Answers are included for all.

This product is a mini-poster template that students may used when finding the least common multiple of 2 numbers. The template is also useful for teaching students how to find the least common multiple of 2 numbers. Related terms: graphic organizer

Students can practice generating fractions, decimals, and percents with this fun holiday and seasonal activity! This product includes 17 holiday or season-themed spinner activities where the student spins a paper clip about a pencil on a spinner with holiday or seasonal images on the spinner. The student is asked to predict the probability outcomes, then perform an experiment by spinning a paper clip several times while keeping a record of the number of landings on each item. On each themed she

This PowerPoint has 16 problems dealing with introductory algebraic expressions. The problems include evaluating, writing, simplifying (including use of the distributive property), and completing input/output tables. The PowerPoint may be used in group competition, such as Trasketball, or as a review, etc. The problems are of beginner/basic content. Answers are included.

Students can improve their skill of converting between fractions, decimals, and percents, and their conceptual understanding of probabilities using this fun product. The product includes a 6- part spinner with 4 different Spring-themed images. The student is asked to predict the probability outcomes, then perform an experiment by spinning a paper clip 30 times while keeping a record of the number of landings on each item. A table is provided for the student to record tally marks, fractions, de

This product was created to help students practice estimating percentages in images. Specifically, each image is in color, and the students are asked to estimate the percentages of each color in the image. The images may be projected or paper copies may be distributed to the students. The students are then given the same image with a 100-square grid on it. The students count the squares that are predominantly each color and, then, total the squares for each color so that the percentage is est

A table is provided for the student to record tally marks, fractions, d

I created this PowerPoint to get my students thinking about interpreting words or phrases into numerical expressions. There are 10 problems that present a word problem. The students are not asked to solve the problem, but to write a numerical expression (no variables) to represent how one could solve the problem. Then, the students are asked what words or phrases gave them clues on which operation should be used. The PowerPoint could be uploaded as google slides and used virtually with the

This product is designed to be an interactive assignment for the whole class, although variations may be made. The product includes a table listed the most favored foods at holiday times. The students are to each vote on their favorite food out of the choice, and the choices are tallied for each food. The tallies are combined for each choice and the percentage of students preferring each food are determined. The percentage of students preferring each food of the five are also determined as a
