These partner color match ups are one of my favorite activities to use in class. The independent work ensures that all students are practicing their skills, the peer check allows students the chance to evaluate their own work, and the coloring portion provides the teacher with an quick check of their work. This Valentine's Day themed partner color activity includes 4 different versions of 10 question worksheets (Cupid, Aphrodite, Oscar, and Squidward). Students with the Cupid/Aphrodite version

This resource includes a scavenger hunt activity that allows students to practice simplifying algebraic expressions by using the distributive property and combining like terms. After hanging the 12 problems around the room (make some of them tricky to find!), students will start at one problem and then use that answer to lead them to the next problem. If done correctly students should answer all 12 problems in the correct order. Included:12 question scavenger hunt Scavenger hunt recording sheet

This resource includes a maze activity that allows students to practice multiplying decimals, while getting excited for the upcoming holiday season! Students will solve a total of 6 problems to correctly complete the maze, although you could have them complete all 11 for extra practice. I love using mazes in the classroom because they give students choices so they are able to feel confident in their answers. It’s also a great activity when you have a substitute. Because the choices are there, I

Make practicing comparing fractions fun! This self-checking activity will allow students to get out of their seats and move around as they solve 12 problems. Each problem solved will lead students to a new problem until they have completed the hunt. While all 12 questions are based on comparing fractions, they vary among finding the least, the greatest, and putting them in order. A recording sheet and answer key are provided. Please not that this activity is NOT editable. The text, problems, a

This self-checking, color by code multiplication activity gives your students a fun and creative way to practice their multiplication skills. Students will solve twelve problems by multiplying a 2, 3, or 4 digit number by a single digit and multiplying a 2 digit number by a 2 digit number. After finding all twelve products, students will compare their answers from the left column (letters) to the answers from the right column (colors). Each answer should have an equivalent answer in the other se

This self-checking, color by code activity gives your students a fun and creative way to practice solving equations with variables on both sides.  Students will solve twelve equations that require combining like terms and use of the Distributive Property. After solving all of the problems, students will compare their solutions from the top six equations (numbers) to their solutions for the bottom six equations (colors). Each solution should be an additive inverse to a solution in the other secti

This self-checking, color by code algebra activity gives your students a fun and creative way to practice solving multi-step equations with variables on both sides. Students will first solve twelve multi-step equations. After finding all twelve solutions, students will compare their answers from the left column (letters) to the answers from the right column (colors). Each answer should have a matching answer in the other section. Finding the matching solutions provides students with the correct

Students will practice factoring polynomials while also getting to show their artistic side in this engaging, self checking activity.  Students will factor using GCF, Difference of Squares, Trinomials where a=1, Trinomials where a > 1, Perfect Square Trinomials, and Factoring by Grouping in this 10 question activity. Students can self-correct their work when their answer doesn’t match one of the choices. Use it as a quick assessment tool to get feedback on student understanding of factoring t

Students practice adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing with scientific notation while also getting to show their artistic side in this engaging, self checking activity.  Along with doing the operations, students will also get to practice converting their answers between scientific notation and standard form in this 10 question activity. Use it as a quick assessment tool to get feedback on student understanding of operations with scientific notation.  While cancer prevention and awarenes

This self-checking, color by code fraction operations activity gives your students a fun and creative way to practice their fraction skills. Students will solve twelve problems that include addition, subtraction, and multiplication of proper fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators. After solving all of the problems, students will compare their answers from the top six (numbers) to the bottom six (colors). Each answer should have an equivalent answer in the other section. Finding the c

Let students practice long division with remainders while getting in the Valentine's Day spirit. This self checking color by code activity includes 12 division problems for students to solve. Once they have solved them they will use matching remainders to come up with the correct colors for the "All you need is love and math" pop art paper.

You've made it through 100 days and it's time to celebrate! As a math teacher I can't think of a better way to celebrate the 100th day than with a 100th day math focused scoot. You will cut out and display the 20 different problems around your room. Students will then set out to answer as many as they can in the given amount of time. I usually have students do this individually or in pairs. As a fun touch, I usually have a "mystery number" when I do scoots. Any student who correctly answer the

This self-checking, color by code division activity gives your students a fun and creative way to practice solving division problems with whole number quotients and remainders. Students will first solve twelve division problems with up to four digit dividends and one digit divisors. After finding all twelve quotients, students will compare their quotients from the left column (letters) to the quotients from the right column (colors). Each quotient should have a matching quotient in the other sec

Are you looking to create partners with no complaints while practicing math skills? These groundhog themed equivalent fraction match up cards are the perfect way for students to practice identifying equivalent fractions while paying homage to one of February's most loved critters. Simply hand out the cards you want to use and students will locate their equivalent fraction match. 18 pairs are included along with one trio set for classes with an odd number of students.
