Currently teaching (and loving) middle school math! Have taught all day Kindergarten, 6th grade math,a 1st/2nd split, and 4th grade, and STEM in inner city public schools.
This simple math relay race is designed for use on the first few days of school, but could easily be used at any time of the school year. It focuses on basic math skills (multi-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division plus basic order of operations) so that teamwork is the focus. I intend to use this as our first group-based active learning experience of the year. Keeping the problems simple should allow time to observe how students interact with each other and engage students
A quick and simple quiz to use to assess the knowledge your students have of adding decimals. Includes 5 simple addition problems and 1 "bonus" subtraction problem. Each problem is in it's own box and each box has a scoring checklist (neatness, place value, shows work, correct answer) to allow easy and specific feedback and to help you see what your students are still struggling with and what they've mastered. Answer key included.
2 page homework for students working on mastering the concepts of factors and multiples.

Awards & shining teacher moments
A student I taught in 2012 who really struggled with math got an A on a recent test in 7th grade. She immediately stated that she could not wait to come see me and tell me because I "would be so proud". This was before she asked her current teacher to call her mom and brag on her A.
