Math is Marvelous

This product shows positive and negative icons to represent addition problems with integers. The student is asked to write the problem shown (such as -4 + 5), circle the zero pairs, record how many zero pairs there are, cross out the zero pairs and answer 'what is left', and write the equation to represent the problem. I created this product because I believe some students need the visual (+ and -) written for them for the first few times practicing this addition method. The student is asked

This "cheat sheet" may be used when students are still learning the integer rules, whether it be used while completing work or completing assignments online. Each page has 4 cheat sheets. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.

This product was created to help my students know how to add fractions with unlike denominators in a step-by-step fashion. The steps include: 1) decide on a common denominator, 2) rename a fraction to have the new denominator 3) add the two fractions together Each step is introduced separately. Then, all of the steps are put together in some problems. Answers are included. This product was created by Susan M. Walker

This product includes a review worksheet for adding integers using a number line and using + & - symbols, 40 integers problems and a worksheet that asks the student to show how to add and subtract integers using these methods: 1. Number line 2. Positive and Negative Markers (+ and -) and showing zero pairs 3. The rule: "keep, change, change" and the adding integer song. Each student receives a different set of three problems to do on the worksheet. On the worksheet, the student is asked to sho

Help! I am running out of copy paper! This is why I decided to create some problem and example sheets that the students do not write on. I am teaching the fraction unit at this time, so the first sheet is simplifying and renaming fractions. The sheet includes an example for each type of problem, some problems, and the answers in random order. The sheet is in the form of a trifold. You or the students may fold into thirds, and, then, the students will only look at part of sheet rather than

This worksheet has 10 adding and subtracting integer problems each reminding the student to apply "keep, change, change" if it is a subtraction problem and providing space for the student to use + and - symbols representing each number. The worksheet also has a reminder for the student to circle and cross out zero pairs, and report what is left. A blank worksheet is also included in the product so that the teacher may add his/her own problems. A key is provided.

This product has 30 adding and subtracting integer cards. The student or teacher cuts the cards apart. The student sorts them into Addition problems and Subtraction problems. The student uses the "Keep - Change - Change" phrase that changes a subtraction problem into "adding the opposite" problem. Colored tiles or pieces of paper are used to represent -1 and 1 to help evaluate the problems. The student writes the answer to the problems on the cards. This product was created by Susan M. Wa

This worksheet describes the steps and gives examples of converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers, fractions to decimals, and decimals to percents, and vice versa for all of these. Each procedure has a few problems for the students to practice. An answer sheet is provided in case the teacher does not want the student to write on the worksheet. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.

This product was created to give my students a personalized assignment to practice rounding of decimals and recall place values. The assignment is personalized for each student as a list of random numbers is provided. Each student draws a random number to work on with the graphic organizer, so no two students' work will be the same. A graphic organizer page with the steps for rounding is provided for the student to round their number to the nearest one's place. Another is provided with the s

This product has two versions of a worksheet for finding Least Common Multiples (LCMs). Both worksheets provide the instructions for finding LCMs, a worked-out example, and a tabular graphic organizer for finding the LCMs. Worksheet Version 1: A one-page worksheet with 13 problems on it. Worksheet Version 2: A two-page worksheet with the SAME 13 problems plus two additional problems. This worksheet provides more space for listing the multiples. I hope this product works well for you and your

This product provides another way to help students practice adding and subtracting integers. This product provides guidance for the student as he or she is completing problems. This product consists of 7 cards that are stapled together in order to form a small booklet. A question or statement is on each card directing the student to do the next step necessary. This way, the steps are seen one at a time rather than seeing a list of steps. This will help students who have difficulty or get o

This template for adding and subtracting integers is useful as is and for placing inside a sheet protector (as a white board) for the students to practice the skill and show their answers to the teacher. The template includes reminders for "Keep, change, change" and the three popular ways of adding integers: the number line, showing plus and minus symbols and removing zero pairs, and using the song lyrics of "Same sign add and keep, different signs subtract; keep the sign of the larger number,

I have found that, even though dividing the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor is the ideal way simplifying a fraction, this is considered an "extra long step" by some students. This worksheet does not require that the students divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor. This worksheet provides multiple opportunities to KEEP SIMPLIFYING until it cannot be simplified or reduced any further. This worksheet also reinforces the thinking that a frac

This product has four versions of a short quiz or exit ticket. It asks the student to name the place values from the thousands place to the thousandths place and to round a number to two different place values.

This product has 8 questions asking the students to list the OPPOSITE number, 15 subtracting integer problems, and a key. The subtraction (-) sign may be considered meaning "opposite". This worksheet asks students to think: instead of "minus something", it is the adding the opposite. This worksheet was created by Susan M. Walker.

This product is called a "cheat sheet" for finding percentages of numbers. The common percentages are included in this table (100, 75, 67, 50, 33, 25, 20, 15, 10, and 5%). The cheat sheet may be completed as a class, independently, or in groups. For each percent, there is a equivalent fraction stated and the student is to divide the rectangle into the appropriate parts and shade in as needed. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.

When it comes to explaining to students why we need to have common denominators in order to add or subtract fractions, it has not come easily for me. An explanation that would make sense to me may not make sense to my students. This product is a hands-on (manipulative) way to show the students why we need common denominators in order to add or subtract fractions. The product consists of templates of rectangles that are divided into fractional parts. The students work with the rectangle and i

This product may be used as a "whiteboard" (place inside a sheet protector) or used to make an overhead transparency. As a "whiteboard", the students can do the problems and hold their work up for the teacher to see. As an overhead transparency, students can take turns doing problems at the overhead or the teacher can use it at the overhead while teaching. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.
