Students will participate in the Olympics in your classroom. This is an engaging six event review of math (mean, median, mode, range, factors, multiples, basic geometry, and order of operations). The students rotate around the room participating in six Olympic Events (Paddleball, Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Tennis, and Jumping).These events are modified to work well in a classroom. !! The students use the data they develop from the Olympic Events to answer a variety of math questions. Ver

Fun and engaging activities. Students start off doing a jigsaw activity with a variety of articles on the Titanic. Then using a smart board program students solve Titanic Math Mysteries. These items are all included: directions, six articles on the Titanic, smart board program with math mysteries and answers, and three graphic organizers.

Students will work in groups to solve ten word problems about the Titanic. You can make this into a race to see which group solves the problems and builds their puzzle first. They will receive one problem at a time. Each time they finish a problem they must hand it to the teacher. If the problem is correct they will receive a new problem and a puzzle piece. This continues until the group solves all ten problems correctly and also builds their puzzle of the “Titanic” correctly. Problem ty

Laminate the 15 Olympic Event Cards. These are all math word problems (elapsed time, order of operations and measurement). Place two to three cards on six different tables. Divide your students into six groups. Students will rotate through six 2014 Sochi Olympic Math Challenge Stations in cooperative groups. Give students about 8 minutes at each station and then signal them (through perhaps Olympic music/pictures of Sochi, or actual pictures of events from the winter Olympics) to rotate to

Tons of Fun. Place two task cards at 6 different stations. Students must solve math problems involving: order of operations, understanding math vocabulary, basic math facts, roman numerals, and fun number facts. Once they have solved the math they will have learned a fun fact about the Wizard of Oz.

This is a fun beginning of the year activity. You can see what concepts your students have retained. Students cruise around the math islands (stations) and solve the various problems. You can use the smart board program that is included to signal (island music) when the students can move to the next island (station). Students will be asked to solve problems pertaining to measurement, problem solving, patterns, numbers and operations, basic math, algebra, and geometry. Students should fill out

Directions: This is a fun and very engaging activity. Students are divided up into cooperative groups. They rotate around to all six stations where they do some reading about twelve different Guinness World Records and solve 22 different math problems on converting measurement(inches, yards, feet, hours, minutes, seconds, months, years). Included in this packet: * 6 signs to display at each station *1 problem sheet for each station *Answer sheets for all six stations *Answer sheet that the stu

This is a fun and engaging lesson for students to review order of operations. Place 24 chairs around the room in a circle. Place one card on each chair in numerical order (card #1 will have card#2 to the left of it and card #24 to the right of it). Each student sits at a chair and begins with their problem. They record the answer on the given answer sheet in the correct spot. After one minute tell the students to rotate to their left. Once they rotate they should flip over the card on the

Directions: This is a fun and engaging activity. Place posters throughout room. Students walk around the room and look at the posters for the information they need to solve their problems. Students solve problems with discounts, sales tax, elapsed time, and basic adding and subtracting. This activity includes 10 posters to place throughout room and problem solving worksheet with answer key.

DIRECTIONS: Students rotate around room in cooperative groups to six different stations. Each station has a puzzle the students put together. Each puzzle has to do with a movie title. Once the puzzle is together the students can flip over the pieces to solve the two problems about that particular movie on the back. Students should place all their answers on the Movie Mania Puzzle Answer Sheet. MOVIE TITLES INCLUDED: MONSTERS UNIVERSITY, DESPICABLE ME 2, MAN OF STEEL, IRON MAN 3, FAST & FURI

The Peer Practice (Reciprocal Learning) Strategy will help increase student involvement and keep students actively involved. Two students form a learning partnership committed to helping each other reach a particular learning goal. One student will be Student A and the other will be Student B. Each student in the partnership plays two roles: As a player, each student works to solve the problems while “thinking out loud”; as a coach, each student observes the player’s work and listens to the
