This project offers 3 different options for student to demonstrate their knowledge of scale factor and scale drawings/models. Projects range from fairly easy and very structured, to difficult with a lot of choice. Great for differentiation! Students can choose to enlarge a photo, create a blueprint or a room, or create a 3D model of an object. You will be amazed at what some of your students come up with!

For this project, students develop their own questions to survey their classmates in order to create three different scatterplots (positive association, negative association, no association). Students will make predictions about how their quantitative variables are related to one another, and then will analyze the data to determine if their predictions were correct. Download includes student directions, data collection pages, quantitative variable suggestion list, first quadrant graphs, ques

Topics covered: Finding slope from two points. Solving for the y-intercept. Finding the equation of a line in slope intercept form. Graphing points. Graphing lines from an equation in slope intercept form. Following directions. Explaining work clearly, in writing. This download includes all directions and handouts/templates needed for a multi-day graphing project, as well as a grading rubric and an example of a finished product (which also serves as an answer key). This project can be modifi

Students can choose one of seven different room layouts (of varying difficulty/complexity) to redecorate. They will answer questions about the area/surface area of the room's walls and floors, and calculate the cost of materials for their project. This download includes a digital example of the final product, a grading rubric, answer key, student directions for 7 different rooms at varying levels of difficulty, and a blueprint for student use.

Download includes a menu for The Math Cafe, and questions for students to answer about their meal. Students are asked to total their food choices, calculate the tax, calculate the tip, calculate a discount, and divide their total bill among their entire party. This activity requires knowledge of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals, and calculating percents in the form of tax, tips, and discounts.

Students will follow directions to graph points to help them discover the properties of reflections over the x and y axes, translations, and dilations. The directions serve as scaffolding, getting less specific as the activity progresses. Students will answer questions about which kind(s) of transformations create similar shapes, and which create congruent shapes, and what would happen to coordinates in a variety of transformation examples. Students will also be asked to confirm their observat

This Math Matcher puzzle is a great way to review 2 step equations with your students! This puzzle encourages students to work together and help one another, but still provides enough flexibility that each student can work at his or her own pace and skill level. 
Each group of students receives a set of 25 Math Matcher cards. Their task is to complete all of the problems on each side of the cards, and match them to the corresponding solution on another card. When the puzzle is complete, all of

Students will follow directions to translate a single shape to 5 different locations. Questions ask students to determine and graph the coordinates of each preimage, and express each transformation using translation notation. Each figure is colored using a different color for easy checking/correcting.

8th Grade Multi-Pack includes all 7 8th grade level puzzles! This multi-pack of Math Matcher puzzles is a great way to review multiplying exponents, dividing exponents, multiplying with scientific notation, dividing with scientific notation, finding slope from two points, multi step equations (distributive property), and the pythagorean theorem with your students! These puzzles encourage students to work together and help one another, but still provide enough flexibility that each student can w

20 weeks worth of daily basic skills practice questions on powerpoint slides, and weekly quizzes. This basic skills package contains 20 different review math topics that middle and high school students should be able to do without the use of a calculator. Practicing these skills helps keep students' skills sharp, allowing for faster and more accurate work, and prepares students for common core assessments which do not allow calculators. Each topic can be covered in one week in conjunction with

This is a great project to use toward the end of the school year to review and apply several of the concepts taught in 8th grade math. This project gives students different pieces of information about cake prices at three bakeries, and they need to determine which bakery and combination of cakes would be best to suit Millie’s needs. Topics covered: multi-step equations, systems of equations, unit price, real life rounding, and volume of cylinders and prisms.

Questions ask students to determine the x and y intercepts of functions given an equation or a graph, and to graph lines from equations in standard form. This download includes 12 question and answer pages, a student work page, and an answer key. The questions and answers can be printed and posted around the classroom or in a hallway. Students will walk around and match each question to an answer, while showing their work on their work page.

This is a reference guide I give to my students when we begin reviewing for state testing and final exams. The 7 page (4 sheets back to back) guide gives students one central place to look for a quick reminder about how to solve a certain type of problem. Each topic has step by step directions as well as a worked out example to follow.

6th Grade Multi-Pack includes all 7 6th grade level puzzles! This multi-pack of Math Matcher puzzles is a great way to review 1-step equations, decimal operations, dividing fractions, dividing whole numbers, finding equivalent fractions, finding the least common multiple, and the order of operations with your students! These puzzles encourage students to work together and help one another, but still provide enough flexibility that each student can work at his or her own pace and skill level.

This review game is a team activity, but encourages each student and each team to participate in solving all of the problems (unlike traditional Jeopardy games, etc). The included rules allow chances for each team to set the pace for their own questions, so slower students will still have time to finish their questions, but faster students won’t have to wait for every question. Each team can earn points for every question, so there is no down time while students are waiting for their turn. Each
