Worksheet where students write ratios as fractions, percentages, and decimals. Students also will write a proportion with the given ratio and set it equal to the ratio out of 100.

Students are to be provided a bag of skittles. They are going to use proportions and ratios to determine if there are the same number/ratio of each color in all different sized bags. I had students work in groups of 2 for this activity. Within the activity I broke it up into three different sections; a pre-lab, lab, and post-lab portion. Students make initial guesses/hypothesis, test out their theory, use proportions and ratios to analyze their results and graph data.

16 questions asking students to use their place value knowledge to circle a number in a given place value, write a number with a given digit in a specific place value, and identify which place value a number is in. Can be used as homework, formative assessment, group work, individual work, etc. I used this in my separate setting special education class for Algebra 1 as a place value review activity.

I allowed my students who needed further support to use a number line. I uploaded as a word document so that if needed you can edit it per your students needs and skill level.

I used this as an assessment for some of the fundamentals of Algebra and basic math skills. I used this in my separate setting special education Algebra 1 class. It covers place value, opposite numbers, adding and subtracting integers, solving one step equations, translating written expressions, order of operations , exponents and graphing coordinates.

Translate written expressions to algebraic expressions

Broken down examples of solving multiplication and division one step equations in a variety of ways. I have uploaded the guided notes that go along with this powerpoint as well

What you will learn: Some definitions related to integers. Rules for adding and subtracting integers. A method for proving that a rule is true. Powerpoint for adding and subtracting integers. I used this in my separate setting special education classroom for Algebra 1. It has check in points through out the powerpoint to use as a formative assessment during instruction.

I used this quiz in my separate setting Algebra 1 class. It is broken down into solving one step equations using only addition and subtraction. (can be edited since it is a word document)

These are the guided notes to my Solving One Step Equations involving Multiplication & Division powerpoint.

14 Question Quiz that has questions regarding writing ratios in three different ways, solving proportions by cross multiplying, and solving a word problem using a proportion.

Worksheet with word problems that involve percentages, such as finding tax, tip, discounts, etc and using math to reason which option might be better or to solve the problem and explain how the student solved it. Could be used as a whole group, small group, individual activity or as homework. I used it as a partial whole group and individual activity. There are some similar set ups for problems, so we did one as a class than one individually working throughout the packet.

15 question quiz on graphing relationships chapter (discrete vs continuous; increasing vs decreasing vs constant; matching a graph to a scenario)

Get your students moving in math class with Walk It Out! It is an interactive game where the class is split up into two teams (can be modified to your class). The students have a life size number line on the floor. An addition or subtraction of integers problem will pop up on the board and the first student (one from each team) to step on the correct number wins a point for the team. Can be used as formative assessment as well.

MATH BELL RINGER/DO NOW POWERPOINT Offers 41 days of Math Reasoning bell ringers using engaging and student centered would you rather questions. Students use math to figure out which option would be the better option. I had my students write a mini paragraph explaining how they solved the question and why their option they chose was better.

4 question exit slip used for formative assessment. Used for my separate setting special education Algebra 1 class.
