This activity gets students out of their desks and fully engaged. Students work in pairs to complete 4 "races." They must have their answers checked before moving to the next "race." The first 3 groups to complete all 4 races correctly gets a prize. I usually give a homework pass or a small piece of candy. My students love this activity! It can also be given as seat work.

This is an exciting way to practice adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing signed decimals. Each page contains four decimal problems. The answer to the first problem is used to work the second problem. That answer to the second problem is used to work the third and finally, that answer is used to work the forth problem. This is great for a formative lesson - there is only one answer to check per page. If the answer is incorrect, I have the students go back and check each others' work.

This is great for interactive notebooks or to use for remediation. It organizes the concept of changing fractions to decimals and percents into one diagram.
