This file includes 5 things to meet the CCSS 5.G.3-4: 1) Student sheet: Quadrilateral Hierarchy Chart (2 pages) 2) Shape Cards A-O (15 quadrilaterals to use with chart) 3) Tree map showing the hierarchy of quadrilaterals 4) Answer key for Chart 5) Basic definitions of the types of quadrilaterals (I use these as a guide for the students to make a foldable of the terms and definitions) **Note: The trapezoid in this activity uses the "EXCLUSIVE" definition: meaning that the trapezoid is defined as
Tables, Graphs, and Equations (oh my!) Are you looking to teach the Constant of Proportionality (C.O.P.) to your middle schoolers? Well, here you go with 6 pages of student pages! It helped my 7th graders! These pack includes: •2 pages for classroom student practice •2 pages for homework •2 pages for a quiz •Plus an answer key for all of it! ------------------------------------------------- Looking for MORE work with Constant of Proportionality? Check out my C.O.P. Task CardsHappy mathing!
Multiple options for graphing: •Full page or Half page •4 Quadrants or First Quadrant **Add a personal touch by having students fill in the cloud with an "inspirational quote" OR a quote to finish the following statement: "I have a Dream..." ------------------------------------------------------------- This activity gives hope that math can help solve problems. :)
Students use a geoboard (or Geoboard App on iPad) to construct specific triangles and quadrilaterals. (Listed here)
right triangle isosceles triangle parallelogram trapezoid
acute triangle scalene triangle kite rectangle
obtuse triangle quadrilateral rhombus square
This product covers Common Core Standards in grades:
3rd- 3G1: Reason with Shapes and Attributes
4th-4.G.2: Classify two-dimensional figures
5th- 5.G.3-4: Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their prope
Grades 5-8, here's a Lab activity using protractors!
Every get frustrated with the angles being too small? Not here! They fit the protractor perfectly!
In addition, the "correct" way to measure angles is emphasized. (Evidentially, the "correct" way is to measure counterclockwise.)
I copied the Labsheet on colored paper and reused them in each of my four classes. This could be done individually, in a small group, or with partners.
Happy angling! Answer key coming soon...
Coordinate Grid Mystery Picture!Connect the coordinate points to create a four-leaf clover on a 1st Quadrant Grid. Spells the word "Lucky!" also. Great way to add some theme math-art to your classroom work!

This is a continuation of Open Box A, with volumes that a little bit larger.
Meets Common Core State Standard: 5.MD.5: Relate volume to the operation of multiplication.
This hands on activity requires students to cut out, fold, and then find how many centimeter cubes will fill the box. Students then record the dimensions of the box and relate to the volume through multiplication. (length x width) x height = volume

How many different ways can you combine your favorite shirts with your favorite pants? In this activity, students color their own shirts and ties to explore the concept of "combinations".
Note: According to mathematics definitions, in combinations, the order does NOT matter. Combination 1A is the same as A1, this would be "one combination".
They begin with just 2 shirts and 2 ties, then progress toward 5 shirts and 5 ties! They also explore the relationship between the number of shirts an
Example of the steps to find the "percent of a number" using the "convert and multiple" method. Then nine multistep problems for students to solve with percents in a real-world money context. *Includes an answer key, with the steps.
Looking for a clean, simple way to post the 8 Mathematical Practices?
Here are all eight practices, one per page. You can print on regular paper, or enlarge to make even bigger!
Two options on the .zip file:
1) In color (ROYGBIV)
2) Black&White (Cut apart and put on colored background)
Good for all grades K-12.
What is the probability of your students will learn from this activity? Pretty likely! Remember in mathematics, permutations order matters! Whereas combinations (in math) order does NOT matter. In this activity the scoop on top does matter! I always save the best for last!
Using student make ice-cream scoops, they manipulate the possible permutations of two and three scoops of ice-cream. They begin with just two scoops- Either AB or BA.
Then they move on to three scoops: ABC, ACB, BAC, B
Looking for a partner game to practice adding and subtracting rational numbers (negative and positive)? Here it is! My 7th graders really enjoyed this game to do math in a "social" way!
Included:
Elevator Gameboard (and directions on it)
Not included:
Dice (you'll need to number dice: RED: -1, -1, -2; BLACK 1, 2, 3)
This .zip file includes two versions:
Version 1: Two-pages that compare and simplify ratios. Includes an example for direction.
Version 2: Three-pages that compare, simply, and model ratios on a graph!
Both versions use the same content, just version 2 includes modeling on a graph.
The table on the last page includes realistic data for the "average" amount of time teenagers spend in a week on different activities.
The .zip file includes both the Word and PDF formats.
Best regards!
Here's a Thanksgiving/November riddle you can do two ways with your students... Students solve questions related to GCF, LCM, Prime Factorization, Area of parallelogram, Area of Triangle, Fractions (add, subtract, divide) and earn a clue for each one to solve a riddle. (What do you call a running turkey?) Option A:On Desmos, it's a breakout style activity. On the last screen, students fill in the clues to solve the riddle. The link is provided on the Google Drive File after purchase. To use
Here's a fill-in-the-blank foldable for your middle schoolers! It can be a great review tool or reference tool for the rules for Operations with Integers. Use it whole class or in a math center.
Some of the references on this foldable are from two videos:
MC Santi's Integer Rap and PBS Math Club (Subtracting Integers)
You can find both videos on youtube.

Game Time for multiplication practice! It's the classic Dots and Boxes game with a twist... You have to solve multiplication facts to get the dots! This packet includes 9 game boards, each focusing on one specific fact family at a time, and directions on how to play. (from x2 to x10). Either use a paper clip with the spinner on the game board, or use one 10-sided dice. Use these games along with weekly multiplication quizzes to help students focus on one fact family at a time. Here's a li
•Are you ready for your students to know their basic multiplication facts? Me too! This packet includes everything you need to quiz, keep track of student progress, and award their success too! •Instead of overwhelming your students with all the facts at once, this system focuses on one fact family at a time. Students are assessed once a week on each fact family, starting with the 2s. Mastery (100% accurate in one minute or less) is the expectation to move on to the next fact family. ~~~~~~~
