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

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.
