Place Value: I'm Thinking of a Number - Set 2 This is the second of six different sets of "I'm Thinking of a Number Cards" to use when teaching place value. This set uses 2 digit numbers and includes comparing numbers. Clues may have one solution, multiple solutions or no solution. I use the cards in a small group at first and have them build the number on a place value mat with base ten blocks. We discuss how they determined the number from the clues. Students may use a hundreds chart inste

Place Value: I'm Thinking of a Number - Set 4 This is the fourth of six different sets of "I'm Thinking of a Number Cards" to use when teaching place value. This set uses 3 digit numbers. These clues have only one solution. I use the cards in a small group at first and have them build the number on a place value mat with base ten blocks. We discuss how they determined the number from the clues. When the activity is moved to a center, students shuffle the cards, draw one card, build the num

Place Value: I'm Thinking of a Number - Set 3 This is the third of six different sets of "I'm Thinking of a Number Cards" to use when teaching place value. This set uses 2 digit numbers and includes comparing numbers, odd and even numbers and differences. Clues may have one solution, multiple solutions or no solution. I use the cards in a small group at first and have them build the number on a place value mat with base ten blocks. We discuss how they determined the number from the clues. St

Place Value: I'm Thinking of a Number - Set 6 This is the sixth of six different sets of "I'm Thinking of a Number Cards" to use when teaching place value. This set uses 3 digit numbers, odd and even numbers and the sum of digits in the clues. These clues may have more than one solution. I use the cards in a small group at first and have them build the number on a place value mat with base ten blocks. We discuss how they determined the number from the clues. When the activity is moved to

These cards contain one and two step equations and their solutions. They can be used with individual students, partners or in a whole group activity. They make a more engaging way for students to get practice solving equations. Students match an equation, a table and a graph in a whole class activity called Mingle. The cards can then be used as a concentration game or in a math center for individuals or pairs of students. This set contains 42 cards for students to match and blank cards for

Each student starts by solving a word problem involving a piecewise function. They have a chance to check their solutions to make sure they are correct. Then students are arranged with a partner across from them and they exchange problems. If one of them needs help, they ask their partner rather than the teacher. After a set amount of time, the teacher rings a bell, buzzer or calls "time", they retrieve their original problems and one partner moves to the next person. They exchange problems

Practice solving quadratic equations while getting an opportunity to be up and moving! Students solve their quadratic then wad it up and have a 10-15 second snowball fight. Each student retrieves a “snowball” and solves the new quadratic equation. Another 10 second snowball fight and they solve again. If students have a separate response sheet, this could go on for as many problems as there are students in your classroom. This activity contains: Directions 30 problems to solve If you
