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
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
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
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.
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.
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!
Properties of Operations Card Sort with a variety of visual representations illustrating the Distributive, Commutative and Associative Properties. Contains 29 expressions, 29 visual representations, and 29 verbal descriptions. Some of the expressions are equivalent to another expression in the sort illustrating one of the properties and some are not equivalent illustrating common mistakes and misconceptions. Includes some cards with only numbers and some with variables. *Due to the different t
One page worksheet on adding fractions with like denominators. Each question includes helpful visual models to support students in adding fractions. Several questions ask students to shade in the models to represent the corresponding fractions to help them make connections. The questions do get gradually more challenging including some that add up to improper fractions but all questions have like denominators.
2 pages of 4 Quadrant Notes Modeled after the Building Thinking Classrooms style of notes that students do in random groups. There is a page for ratios and another page for rates. Each page includes A Completed Example with fill in the blanksAn Incomplete ExampleThings to RememberCreate your own ExampleFix the Error
Challenging Problems designed for group work on area and perimeter. Fixed area and fixed perimeter problems to push student thinking. Ideal for students who area already familiar with area and perimeter. I gave these to my 6th graders to refresh their memories from previous grades and still challenge them. It can also be used to help students understand why when one of the side lengths is less than one, the area will be less than smaller than the other side length.
This 4 page packet is the perfect sub plan activity as each page is scaffolded with examples and ordered thoughtfully so that questions get progressively more challenging. Includes 2 pages of Visual, Solve the Equation, and Check Your Answer and 2 pages of Word Problems where students write the equation. Includes equations of the form Ax+C=Q and Ax+C=Bx+D. Answer Key included for the first two pages only. The word problem pages have multiple correct answers for some questions.
