Students can use this checklist until they have the order of operations process memorized. Checklist only takes up half of a page so each page has 2 checklists on it.

Use this rule discovery foldable to teach rules of exponents: product of powers and quotient of powers.

The first page has 4 examples completed and can be given as a study guide or scaffold while students are working independently or in groups. The second page can be used as guided notes to complete as a class prior to using as a scaffold.

Students can see the difference in equations of the form y=mx or y=kx versus y=mx+b. This lesson guides students to create a table from an equation and graph the line. They will also look at a line and write the equation for it after finding the slope and y-intercept.

Support your slope instruction with this foldable which helps students make connections between rise, run, x-and y-values when thinking about slope. This scaffold helps build understanding about the different kinds of slope.

Review how to calculate slope from two points, from a table, from an equation, or from a graph and give students examples of positive, negative, zero, and undefined slope in this foldable.

Step by step concise directions that students can follow for finding the slope when they cannot count the rise and run on a graph. Scaffolded notes and clear examples for students to follow as they practice finding the slope from 2 ordered pairs.

When you introduce volume of cubes, right prisms, and cylinders using V=Bh, students can use this sheet to highlight the base(s) of the figure, identify the shape of the base, put the base's area formula in place of "B", and then simplify the formula if possible, to get a unique volume formula for each shape. This resource is aligned with 7th grade NJ standards. Completed sheet is included.

Students can follow these steps and examples to solve dimensional analysis problems. Any feedback on this product is welcomed!

Add, subtract, divide, and multiply with scientific notation with this all-in-one scaffold reference sheet resource. The front of the foldable has steps and examples for each of the four operations and the inside has practice problems. Answer key is included. When you make copies, make them 1-2 sided and rotate the second page 180 degrees so that it copes correctly. This resource is great for students who need scaffolds during independent practice.

Use this resource when you begin to teach division with decimal divisors. Complete the 4 examples with students to introduce them to dividing with decimal divisors and students can continue to use the think chart until they have mastered dividing with decimals. I have been using this tool for over 10 years and have found it to scaffold student thinking tremendously.

Students can use this checklist to avoid making mistakes when multiplying mixed numbers. I created this checklist to scaffold student practice when I teach multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers. This PDF can be copied and cut in half before distributing to students. Complete the two examples with students and then students can use this checklist and 2 examples until they become fluent in the algorithm for multiplying fractions by converting to improper, cross reducing, and then multiplyi

I use this when I start my 6th graders on integers and comparing negative numbers. We put zero in the middle of all number lines and complete a vertical and horizontal number line with integers and a vertical and horizontal number line with decimals. We use the phrases on it to help remember how to compare, and we do a few comparisons together with the greater than and less than symbols. There are also two websites listed that have digital and interactive number lines that students can use.
