Mathematics Active Learning

In class: 1. Give a card to each student. 2. Have students arrange themselves in order. 3. Then give commands that involve performing an operation on the number and have the students rearrange themselves, if necessary. For example: a. Add three b. Subtract negative two c. Multiply by negative one d. Divide by negative one e. You may introduce operations involving fractions and decimals as the skills of your class progress Included are cards that are integers, fractions and decimals with which y

Content includes parentheses, exponents, multiplication and addition involving decimal numbers. Outer edges are blank, so the puzzle is easier. Students 1. Cut the squares apart. 2. Match equivalent expressions. 3. Get a new four-by-four square.

Students play the game of War with equivalents of fractions, decimals and percents. Denominators of fractions include 1 through 10, excluding 7.

Students arrange five decimals, fractions and/or percents from smallest to largest in value. Some questions involve all decimals, some involve all percents and some involve all fractions. The majority involve some combination thereof. This can be used as an individual activity or a small group activity.

Each Student is given a card with a fraction, decimal or percent. The objective is for students to arrange themselves in order from -1 to 1. Good transition or warm-up activity. May be used multiple times.

Students cut apart a 4 by 4 square with fractions and decimals. By lining up equivalent decimals and fractions, they create a new 4 by 4 puzzle. All numerators equal 1. Outer edges are blank, so the puzzle is easier.

Students cut apart small triangles. Then they match fractions with their decimal equivalents. A large hexagon is formed. Fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 & 10 are included along with odd numerators of fractions with denominators of 11.

Students cut apart some small triangles. Then they match a change phrase (the change from x to y) to the equivalent percentage. All changes are less than 100%. There are an equal number of increases and decreases. A large parallelogram will be formed.

Each student is given a card with a repeating decimal. The objective is for students to arrange themselves so the decimals are in numerical order. Includes both positive and negative decimals. Good transition or warm-up activity. May be used multiple times.
