Students to write additive and multiplicative equations from tables and graphs at a 6th grade level with 9 pages (18 problems. Most of the problems are of the form y=kx or y=x+b with a few challenging questions at the end with 2 steps in the form y=mx+b. This product contains 9 pages (18 problems) The problems start easier and get progressively more difficult, including fractional slopes and y intercepts with decimals. Full Answer Key Included. The google doc is pictures of each problem (cons

This project assesses students ability to draw rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids of given areas on a scaled grid. They will need to be able to use the area formulas to work backwards to find side lengths that fit the requirement for each animal and use the formulas to show that their area calculation is correct. A detailed MYP Criterion D (Applying Mathematics in the Real World) Rubric is included. I spent about 2 and a half 90 minute class periods on this project and many

This product includes 4 contexts with a space to use the given information to fill in the table, graph, equation, and fill in the blank description. It is an editable google doc so you can add or remove questions as you see fit, but you can not edit the tables, graphs, etc. Check out my similar products here: Writing Equations from Tables and GraphsAlgebraic Representations Task Cards - Carnival ThemedAlgebraic Representations Bundle

This is a fun non curricular thinking task that goes beyond just asking students to convert rational numbers to other forms and put them in order. It provides students with an opportunity to think more deeply about the relative sizes of rational and irrational numbers and strategically choose which shapes to place where. There are many valid approaches and answers to this task so it is a great way to start the year and build a thinking classroom. This includes both a version made for 5th, 6th,

Scientific Notation Problems start VERY accessible and get gradually more challenging. Each question has students write the expanded form and the standard form and some ask for the scientific form given the standard or expanded form. Great for group work with building thinking classrooms or independent practice after a lesson.

After using several visual patterns as warm ups building up to writing equations, I created this to push my students to figure out how to determine the slope and y intercept of an equation from a table that skips x values and doesn't include 0. This worked great with Building Thinking Classroom practices, especially with students who are familiar with writing equations from visual patterns. I've personally used it with advanced 6th graders and 7th graders. A detailed answer key and questions

A page of exponents practice and a page of prime factorization practice, each with a completed example at the top. This would be a great activity for a sub day or for students with learning needs who benefit from completed examples. It is a completely editable google doc so you can delete the completed example too if you want. Answer Key Included!

Card sort matching fraction multiplication problems to various visual representations and verbal descriptions. The recording sheet and follow up reflection questions ask students to sort the problems into expressions where the product is less than both factors, less than one and greater than the other, and greater than both factors and generalize when each happens. Check out my other card sorts focused on connecting visual representations and algebraic/numeric expressions. Properties of Operati

This is a very engaging activity that gets all students thinking and talking about the mean, median, mode, range and the shape of distributions. I use this activity the day after covering mean, median, mode, range, and skewed right/left. Each student chooses an envelope out of 3 color choices. For example, they can choose from yellow, red, or blue envelopes.​ ​ Each "round" one piece of information is revealed and students are allowed to trade their envelopes with each other with the goal of en

The task: Draw 4 points such that when you connect each point to the other 3 points for a total of 6 line segments, there are exactly 2 distinct lengths of line segments. You must connect each point to every other point. This product includes examples and non-examples to use when introducing this task to kids questions to support struggling and advanced groupsa detailed two page answer key that demonstrates each solution visuallyThis worked really well with my honors Geometry students, it led

This activity includes shapes with two columns. One for students to find the correct numbers substituted into the formula correctly, and one with the final answer (area or missing side length). There are several distractor cards that do not match with any of the problems so students have to pay careful attention to make sure they are choosing the correct card. This also includes an independent follow up worksheet that does not come with cards so students have to write in the formula and answer.

This google doc contains multiplication and division word problems with fractions and mixed numbers. They range from very easy to challenging. There are also 4 real world, multi-part challenge problems included that would be great from a Criterion D task if you are at an IB school or if not, great to push your high-achievers.

This resource includes a real recipe and fraction operation questions covering fraction multiplication and division. There are several different types of questions. This was a fun activity to do with a small group of students in summer school. First we did the math, then made the rice krispies.

The skills include: Finding the Absolute Value of IntegersOrdering integersOrdering positive and negative rational numbersAdding IntegersSubtracting IntegersMultiplying IntegersDividing IntegersEvaluating expressions with order of operations (medium)Evaluating expressions with order of operations (challenging)Distributing a negative Matching expressions to their corresponding visual representa

I use this quiz as a first introduction to a Criterion D assessment. Prior to this we have class discussions about what it means to explain the accuracy and determine whether an answer makes sense in the context. When I give the quizzes back, I go through these examples to help students better understand what it means to explain the accuracy and determine whether an answer makes sense in the context. Includes bonus challenge question.

I use this quiz in the beginning of the year to introduce the idea of writing and testing conjectures/general rules. The next class, I go through these examples to help students better understand the difference between a specific statement and a general rule.
