The google doc is pictures of each problem (cons
Are you tired of teaching each data display in isolation? Use this card sort to help your students see the connections between the four representations of data: box plots, histograms, stem and leaf plots and dot plots. There are 15 sets of cards to match with 3 different displays of the same data in each match. Students will attend to the range, spread, median, mode and variability to tell which displays represent the same data sets. Questions to prompt student thinking and discussion question
Includes 3 days of practice with additive and multiplicative relationships. - Writing equations, plotting points, and describing situations from a table - Writing equations, creating a table and describing situations from a graph - Task cards to review all four representations and filling in the rest when given a table, graph, equation or situation. AND Identifying independent and dependent variables. Bonus File: Quiz and Practice for the Quiz This is not a complete unit, I spent another clas
Task Cards for 6th Grade Linear Equations including y=mx and y=x+b. Each task card includes a table, graph, equation, fill in the blank description of the situation, and a box to identify the independent and dependent variables. Equations include additive and multiplicative situations and include a mixture of fractions, decimals and whole numbers. All situations are carnival themed. This is perfect for an end of unit review of linear equations in 6th grade math. Full Answer Key Included. Al
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
3 pages of two-step equations with space to check your answer by substituting it back into the initial equation. All four operations included along with a few fractions, decimals, negatives, and problems requiring the distributive property! The first problem is completed as an example, making this perfect for stations or sub plans!
Do you have students still using their fingers or counting up by ones for two-digit addition problems? This worksheet/activity is perfect for students who need to develop strategies for two-digit addition beyond counting by ones using ten frames, bar models, and number lines. It is intentionally designed to help students see how the repeated reasoning of making 10's can be helpful for mental addition. It would be a great investigation to follow up on a series of addition number talks because th
Each student chooses a different pair of numbers (one fraction, one whole or mixed), make up a corresponding word problem for multiplication and one for division using their two numbers, answers the question using a representation, and checks their answer using keep-change-flip. An MYP Communication rubric (out of 8) and a 100 point rubric are both included so you can choose. Lots of Differentiation with - Choice of problems ranging from easier to very challenging - Reference sheets to suppor
This bundle includes 3 zip folders with tons of fraction clip art. See each individual product to preview the images included. It also includes as a bonus file a commercial use license to generate, customize and use commercially infinitely many images from my website visualfractionlibrary.com (a $10 value).
These random grouping cards contain 120 sets of matching cards to use for random grouping. Each set has 3 cards that are equivalent for students to find their random group for the day. This is a total of 360 cards for you to choose from or change throughout the year. You can choose topics ranging from multiplication facts, equivalent fractions, decimals and percents, all the way to equivalent expressions with exponents and variables. The cards are meant to be simple enough for students to quick
This product includes 3 different Halloween-themed non-curricular tasks for you to choose from. Have fun with a challenging task or riddle with your students while they get a chance to practice collaboration with lower-stakes tasks. The tasks have to do with Halloween creatures, haunted houses, and trick-or-treating plans. The math concepts are accessible to most grades but ideal for 3rd through 8th grade. One of the 3 tasks is more mathematically appropriate for 6th-8th grade only. The files
Each student chooses a different pair of numbers (they range from 8 & 4 to 80 & 4 so students can choose an appropriate challenge), make up a corresponding word problem for multiplication and one for division using their two numbers, answers the question using a representation and explain how they did it. A rubric (out of 4) is included. Lots of Differentiation with - Choice of problems ranging from easier to very challenging - Reference sheets to support students in the more challenging aspe
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.
These quizzes and slideshows with good and bad examples are how I introduce the expectations of MYP to my 6th graders (MYP year 1). This bundle includes a Criterion B quiz, Criterion D quiz and several examples and non examples of the following skills Writing a general ruleVerifying your rule with examplesExplaining the accuracy of your answerDetermining if your answer makes sense in the context of the problemAfter teaching MYP year 1 for 3 years, these are the MYP skills that my students have
Winter Holiday-themed fraction multiplication and division word problems. Includes 3 pages of problems (14 total problems) with space to show work and an answer key. Problems relate to various holiday traditions, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Posadas. Division problems include mixed number dividends and unit and non-unit fraction divisors, making this perfect for 6th or 7th grade or advanced 5th graders. If you want non-holiday word problems, check out Fraction Division Word Prob
Do your students need practice determining equivalent expressions with exponents, the commutative property, the distributive property, and more with just numbers and with variables? This activity is great for independent practice or group work! There is one page with just numbers and one page with variables. In each row, there are 3 equivalent expressions and one that is not equivalent. Find the odd one out. Answer Key included. Perfect for a substitute day! Includes exponents but no negatives.
Includes a card sort illustrating the properties of operations and a printout activity where students determine which expression is not equivalent. The bonus file is notes that follow the concrete representational abstract progression to help students develop a better understanding of the properties of operations. Great for an introduction to equivalent expressions and using variables to represent unknown values in 6th grade.
3 pages of one-step equations with space to check your answer by substituting it back into the initial equation. All four operations included! The first problem is completed as an example, making this perfect for stations or sub plans!
