We use this chart to introduce the properties of addition and multiplication. We use the phrases and pictures as clues to help us remember the meaning of those "mathematician" words like commutative and associative. The students fill in the last two columns with examples for addition and multiplication equations for each property. The distributive property is not included on this chart. We save that one for a lesson later in the year.

I designed this rubric to assess my gifted math students as they chose from a project menu to create a game to practice geometry standards. Teachers can use this rubric to assess a math game designed by their student(s) surrounding any math topic.

After the students have discovered the pattern of Pascal's Triangle and have constructed their own, we look at patterns within the triangle. Student's will gain practice with prime factorization, multiples, sums, using exponents, raising numbers to a power, etc. They will each choose a pattern to research and teach to their classmates in the second piece of this unit. I love to watch as they begin to see the patterns unfold. It feels like we're doing magic, but it's math!

How do we engage our math students? How do we make math engaging while still assessing their learning? How can we afford to make math engaging? This activity or math center involves using recycled and labeled water bottle lids and "activity mats." You could also run off the pages and use them as regular worksheets and the students can write in the missing numbers, but I find that giving them something beyond paper and pencil makes math more engaging. Each skill has two "activity mats" for pra
