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 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

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,

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!

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

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

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

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!

This is a google slideshow that I use to help students (and their parents) understand my expectations on an MYP Criterion D Assessment. I use multiple specific examples to show what it means to Describe vs. Explain the level of accuracyDetermine if the answer makes sense in the contextAfter teaching 6th grade math in a few years, I've learned that students often don't know what it means to "explain the accuracy" of their answer or to determine if it makes sense in the context of the problem. T

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 is a google slideshow that I use to help students (and their parents) understand my expectations on an MYP Criterion B Assessment. I use multiple specific examples to show what it means to Write a general ruleVerify that the rule works for multiple examplesAfter teaching 6th grade math in a few years, I've learned that students often don't know what it means to "write a rule" or how to verify if their rule is correct with well chosen examples. This is designed to help clarify the expectati

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 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.

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

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.
