Miss Challenge's Polygon Robots! In this activity, students build their own robots out of polygons. Each sheet has a series of robot body parts (head, body, arms, etc.) and a list of clues to solve. Once they figure out which polygon is being described, they will use that information to make their robot. It’s a great way to ask students to apply their mathematical knowledge in a new way, and children love to put on their detective hats to solve the clues. This set comes with 30 differe

Miss Challenge's Roller Coaster Challenge! In this activity, students use the websites provided to look at pictures of roller coasters from across the country. They will estimate the length, height, speed, and duration of each one. Afterwards, learners use their data to compare and order each set of information. This highly-motivating, real-world activity is a constant crowd-pleaser and perfect for a whole-class investigation or an individual extension for a high-ability learner.

Miss Challenge's Engineering Challenges! This activity is just one in a series of engineering challenges that I present to my students as we study STEM. With this activity, students collaborate to plan out a way to move a marble according to certain qualifications. The friendly competition includes team-building, engineering, science (plenty of physics!) and measurement (how far did your marble travel?). Good luck and have fun! Be sure to check out the other engineering challenges available, in

Miss Challenge's Multiplication Challenge Problems! This series of multiplication word problem challenghes stretch the brains of your growing mathematicians! Each level has five word problems. The first level requires simple multiplication facts, but the next levels include multiple steps or multiple operations. I put my students into three homogeneous groups and allow them to work on the problems. When all five questions are correct, learners can move to a new color station (level 3 moves to le

Miss Challenge's Pi Day Palooza! This 25-page set includes 7 (yes, 7!) centers, complete with specific directions, templates, and resources. Celebrate such a valuable number on its special holiday (3/14) or any day of the year! The set reaches all learners with many different content areas covered, including Language Arts, Theater, Art, and Math. Circle Logs Pi Poetry Pi Performance Pi Plate Pi Probability Circle Hunt Checkers

Miss Challenge's Exponent Challenge Problems! This series of problems requires students to use patterns and observations to solve a set of seemingly impossible tasks. By solving simpler problems first, these enrichment tasks are wonderful critical thinking tasks. Use these for the "I'm done, now what?" learners or at an enrichment station for differentiated instruction.

Miss Challenge's Division Challenge! This series of division challenge problems stretch the brains of your growing mathematicians! Each of the three puzzles offers a series of clues that students must tackle to find the mystery number. This printable is a perfect way to enrich your instruction or differentiate for your high-ability learner in math centers.

Miss Challenge's Multiplication Challenge! This series of multiplication challenge problems stretch the brains of your growing mathematicians! This set of five puzzles require students to apply their multiplication skills in a new way. Easily printable, this is a perfect way to enrich your instruction or differentiate for your high-ability learner in math centers.

Miss Challenge's Factor Frenzy Differentiated Game! This leveled game asks students not just to compete for points by crossing off factors of a number, but encourages critical thinking skills in multiplication by asking students to develop a strategy for winning. Bonus: A free challenge problem at the end that can be given to early finishers! Challenge all learners with this fun, easy-to-learn game!

Miss Challenge's Division Challenge! This series of division challenge problems stretch the brains of your growing mathematicians! Substitute a number for each letter in the puzzle to make a proper division problem. If it works, you've got it! If not, keep trying! This printable is a perfect way to enrich your instruction or differentiate for your high-ability learner in math centers.

Miss Challenge's Division Challenge! This series of division challenge problems stretch the brains of your growing mathematicians! Each of the two puzzles offers a series of clues that students must tackle to find the mystery number. This printable is a perfect way to enrich your instruction or differentiate for your high-ability learner in math centers.

Miss Challenge's Meaning of Multiplication Challenge! This series of challenge problems exploring the meaning of multiplication stretch the brains of your growing mathematicians! This leveled set begins easy with spiders and flies, then travels to outer space with aliens called Zooms and Zips, and then gets really heavy counting legs of tables and customers. These printables are a perfect way to enrich your instruction and differentiate and challenge your learners in math centers.

Miss Challenge's Perimeter Problem Pack- This set of nonroutine problems are the perfect addition to your geometry lessons. It contains five problems (and answers) that require critical thinking and exploration to find the perimeter using the limited information given. This is the perfect activity for students who are true problem-solvers, are high-ability math kids, or the ones who are always asking, "What should I do now?" It can also be used in enrichment folders, in math centers, as morning

Miss Challenge's Candy Percent Challenge! These two problems are enriching for your high-ability learners. These tasks make a real-life connection and require application of content and critical thinking skills. These questions are a great tool for your "I'm done, now what?" students or at an enrichment station for differentiated instruction.

Miss Challenge's Fraction Challenge! This series of challenge problems exploring fractions! This leveled set begins with easy questions asking students to use the dot paper provided to show a fraction, then moves to equivalent fractions. The challenges get increasingly harder as students have to realize that they need to find a way to make equal shapes before solving. These printables are a perfect way to enrich your instruction and differentiate and challenge your learners in math centers.

Miss Challenge's Measurement Stations! This activity is such a favorite for all of the classes I teach. At each of the six stations, students complete a task that involves a type of candy or treat. Using these special 'mathematical tools', children estimate the distance between two objects and then measure to find the actual length. as they rotate through all the stations, it's amazing to watch the improvements in accuracy. This motivating task can be used with so many classrooms in many differ

Miss Challenge's Geometry challenge! Students apply transformational geometry to the alphabet. Which letters stay the same when reflected? Which stay the same when rotated? This real-life connection is the perfect extension or enrichment station in your math centers!
