Mathterpieces

Step-by-step PowerPoint slides (converted to PDF) included to project during activity. This interactive student notebook foldable includes three ways to express a linear equation: equation, table/chart, and graph. And it does so for both proportional and nonproportional relationships.

Great for independent math centers or for a small group, cooperative learning activity. Answers are included! When having the students work in groups of 2-4 to solve, I have more than one set available so that those who finish earlier can have a second set to work on. Option 1: I laminate them and cut them out myself. I've found that my students like to write on the pieces so when laminated, they can use erasable markers. This option is also best when being used for an independent, centers-sty

I have the kids add one of these reference pages to the front of their journals. With the intermediate grades, I used Problem-Solving Strategies; with the middle schoolers, I use Heuristics. Throughout the year, I challenge them with higher-level thinking activities and we talk about "what to do when you're stuck." These pages help guide them through that process.

These were designed to be cut to 8.5" x 8.5" squares. I printed them onto white cardstock, trimmed them to size, mounted them to coordinating colored cardstock, and then laminated them.
