Math Quizzes on a variety of topics from Grade 7 or 8 curriculum: surface area and volume, algebra, percentage change, coordinate geometry, polygon angles, integers. 17 quizzes in total in Word document format for easy editing.
Two (2) Diagnostic Math Tests - one for start of year with fractions, number, and a variety of other basics to check. Markscheme/solutions provided - one specifically for prior to a percentages unit, checking knowledge and skills in fractions and decimals concepts. No solutions provided. Written for Grade 8, but could be used for Grade 9 and (with perhaps some small adjustments) for younger grades.
High Frequency Low Stakes quizzes for Ancient Number systems in one bundle. 8 quizzes in total: 2 Quizzes: Sumerian Babylonian Numbers 1 Quiz: Egyptian Numbers 1 Quiz: Greek Numbers 1 Quiz: Four systems 1 Quiz: Multiple systems including Roman Numerals 2 Quizzes: Multiple systems
Bundle of Math Quizzes for Grades 5 to 6 (Extends Grade 4 students, Review basic skills for Grade 7 students) Including: - Integers - Fractions - Decimals - Number Properties - Ancient Number Systems - Statistics
Six (6) different types of tasks that require students to: - describe steps of worked solutions to equation solving - describe errors in worked solutions to equation solving - write expressions from a description of operations - write equations from a description of operations and solve it.
Mathematical problem-solving tasks Low-Floor High Ceiling Tasks have multiple solutions. These problems can then be extended for students to generalize their solutions. Excellent places to develop logical thinking and mathematical proof in upper elementary and middle school.
MYP Style linear patterns task based on the famous painted cube problem. Students are asked to find the equation for number of small cubes with three, two, one, and no sides painted for a larger cube of any side length n. It is valuable as a formative task to help students get used to investigation task structure or possibly as a formative assessment. I would not recommend using it formally as a summative task. It is essentially four mini-investigations in one instead of one investigation whos
A bundle of 21 fractions and decimal quizzes that cover operations with decimals and fractions at approximately the grade 6 level. Decimal and Fractions conversions are included.
Decimals work for students ready for more advanced work. This provides purposeful practice while challenging students to use decimal and place value concepts to justify a maximum or minimum solution, or how many solutions are possible for a given calculation.
High Frequency Low Stakes Quizzes for a unit on number properties. This includes squares and cubes, operations with 0 and 1, Roots, Divisibility rules, prime and composite numbers, factors and multiples. 7 quizzes in total.
A guided inquiry task to help students understand the significance of each stage of the function modeling process. One question with structured prompts for the types of things to write about is provided, followed by three practice questions each with data that is approximately quadratic. This may require two lessons, depending on the length of your lesson period. Or it could be done in one guided lesson with the practice questions being assigned for homework.
A guided task to help students develop the concept of factoring. This task assumes/reviews prior knowledge of using distributive property (FOIL) to multiply a binomial by a binomial to make a trinomial. It helps students to see factoring as the reverse process of simplification using the area model of multiplication. This is a set of two tasks for trinomials where a=1 and for trinomials where a is not equal to 1. It is possible that you might do this in two separate lessons to help students dig
A task that provides purposeful practice with integers while challenging students to find the greatest/least sum/product and many other challenges with groups of integers.
A structured inquiry task to draw students' attention to the connection between quadratic function equation forms and their graphs. This is a much more structured inquiry that draws more explicit attention to the parameters by prompting students to factorize or simplify equations to convert one form to another. This draws the students' attention to the connections between the geometry and the algebra.
MYP Style (criterion B Investigation and criterion C Communication) linear patterns task. It is valuable as an introduction to investigation task structure or possibly as a formative assessment. It would require doing some linear patterns in class informally (without showing students how to make equations for linear patterns) and then using this to help the students generalize how to do it, with discussion and debrief afterward to ensure all students understand the concept. It is not intended t
