Scientific Notation Problems start VERY accessible and get gradually more challenging. Each question has students write the expanded form and the standard form and some ask for the scientific form given the standard or expanded form. Great for group work with building thinking classrooms or independent practice after a lesson.

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

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

Card sort matching fraction multiplication problems to various visual representations and verbal descriptions. The recording sheet and follow up reflection questions ask students to sort the problems into expressions where the product is less than both factors, less than one and greater than the other, and greater than both factors and generalize when each happens. Check out my other card sorts focused on connecting visual representations and algebraic/numeric expressions. Properties of Operati

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.
