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 is an investigation activity that students can do independently or in groups to discover the patterns when converting fractions to repeating decimals. It provides examples of how to use long division to convert a fraction to a decimal and then has students apply the same strategy to other fractions with the same denominator. These examples make it great for a sub plan or for early finishers with no instruction needed from the teacher. Students will investigate the patterns in the decimals
These number line problems range from extremely accessible to very challenging for even my highest students. They gradually take students through different rational number concepts and strategies while working on a number line. This really helped my 6th graders better understand the magnitude of fractions, mixed numbers and decimals and how to place numbers on the positive and negative side of the number line. It promoted great discussions in the student groups. It includes 4 pages of student w
Do your students need concrete or real-world examples before learning abstract concepts like slope? This introductory lesson to slope on a coordinate grid is perfect for you! It begins with a story about the steepness of cat stairs and ramps.

This slideshow and corresponding notes & practice packet focus on division with unit fractions including 1/a divided by b and a divided by 1/b. There are some bonus/challenge problems included for students needing more of a challenge that have mixed numbers and non-unit fractions. This uses visuals and connects to students prior knowledge about division as dividing into equal groups or dividing into groups of a certain size. It does not use Keep Change Flip or any tricks.
This includes a slideshow and corresponding notes sheet to help students really understand what happens when you add and subtract integers using a silly but relatable analogy. The slideshow and notes includes 5 examples with the question on one slide and the answer on the next. The practice includes guided practice (using the same analogy) and many more bare problems for students to internalize the thought process.
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.
