Students will critically analyze a cell phone text messaging plan from a fictitious company to determine various costs of using UR Phone BFF as a wireless carrier. Students read an ad, write an expression, create a table, populate a coordinate graph, and answer 10 comprehension questions to demonstrate proficiency in many 6th grade algebra standards. Download includes informational packet (4 single side pages) for students, plus a detailed answer document providing answers in red text and gr

(Almost) no prep sorting activity for students to practice identifying if a statistical question is referring to numerical or categorical data. Simply print, copy, cut, and set out. Could be used as a stations-type activity, a formative assessment, partner work, cooperative group work, or a springboard for a discussion on data types.

This student test tracking graph is a great way to increase student accountability on unit tests. Simply have students write the test name at the bottom and shade/color the bar to show their score. If a student retakes a test, they can use another color to shade/color the improved score over top of the original score. Please rate and leave feedback!

I used this project for 3 years as an end-of-unit assessment on working with fractions when I taught 6th grade mathematics. The project has 2 parts: the poster and an essay. I included a list of student prompts for creating their written response that include explaining more about their topic and their design choices. Before setting students out on this project, we discussed what made a “good poster” (not too much information, large and neat enough to be read from a short distance, etc), so I

This document includes an unpacking of ALL 4th grade mathematics standards in the Common Core State Standards. Several examples are included to help clarify the standards and give a deeper understanding. Like this? Then make sure to come back to see my unpacked 4th grade ELA standards in the CCSS! Additionally, I plan to complete daily learning targets and formative assessments for all standards - both mathematics and ELA before I head back to school late August. https://www.teacherspayte

Students will love playing Rolling Percentages! This game uses dice, a 100's grid, and colored pencils, download includes printable dice templates and a 100's grid, directions, and ideas for differentiation. Students roll the dice, add the values, and shade that percentage on the grid. The player with the most shaded squares wins the game! My students love this game and ask to play regularly. Content objectives addressed: understand that percent means per 100, relate 100 percent as one

This highly engaging project allows students to practice mark ups and discounts in a real world situation. The project is divided into 7 parts with easy to follow instructions and includes a grading rubric. Was created for print use, but could be uploaded to Google Classroom or other online learning platform as needed.

In this highly engaging STEM project, students imagine and plan their dream bedroom before building a scaled model and completing a cost analysis. Students will use many math skills including scale factor, measurements, and working with money. Students will complete a virtual shopping trip and find the real world cost of their dream bedroom. Creativity is encouraged, critical thinking is required, fun is expected!

My students *love* this game! It is one of the most requested in my room! This is an easy to prep and even easier to differentiate math activity for students of all ages, grades, and skill levels. I use it several times a month during my math stations time with my 1st and 2nd grade students, where they practice building addition and subtraction fact families. Older students could practice multiplication and division fact families. I have included several ideas for differentiation, ideas f

Students will solve 2-step inequalities to figure out the answer to the riddle.

Students work their way through the maze by solving 2-step inequalities and following the path of correct answers to the end box.

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

Quick and simple basic terms of data analysis matching quiz. Includes 6 basic data terms (categorical, numerical, mean, median, mode, range) and a definition for each. Each quiz is a half sheet of paper, and an answer key is included.

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.

This review puzzle provides an opportunity for students to practice basic percentage-based problems in a self checking format. Students then create their own puzzle with an optional extension activity of trading with a peer for additional practice and feedback opportunities. Primarily intended as a paper/pencil resource, this could also be completed digitally.

2 page homework for students working on mastering the concepts of factors and multiples.
