Math is Marvelous

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 has a PowerPoint with 8 problems dealing with simplifying fractions by finding and using the greatest common factor. The first 4 problems have a lot of scaffolding to help the student find the GCF and divide the fraction using the GCF as a form of 1. The last 4 problems have no scaffolding and tells the students to complete the work on paper. Answers are provided in random order. Related terms: reduce, lowest terms, leveled

I created this product to give my students practice translating words into algebraic (variable) expressions. The nursery rhyme of Old Mother Hubbard was used to create a fun background for the various expressions. There are 24 word phrases to be translated into Algebraic Expressions. All four math operations are used (add, subtract, multiply, and divide) for the expressions. Answers are available (randomly) on the last two pages of the PowerPoint. The product could be uploaded as Google Slide

This product is a game for learning and practicing writing algebraic expressions from word descriptions (e.g., the sum of a number x and five). The expressions in this game include those for adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Any practical number of students may play at one time. The product uses a spinner with three spaces on it for 1, 2, and 3. The spinner is used to tell the player how many spaces they are to move. The spaces are numbered from 1 to 27 and there is a question a
