I always gave a diagnostic at the beginning of the school year to help place students on the spectrum of math knowledge to help me group students or target intervention for students. I used this in my 7th grade classroom, but it could be used in middle school or even in an algebra class. This document can also be used as a homework, practice exam, final exam, extra credit practice, or however else you could imagine!
This graphic organizer allows students to describe all the sign rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing positive and negative integers.
Help students with their 9s multiplication table with this worksheet. It includes general practice at the top and a number search below where students can find equations like "9*2=18" to help them associate the correct numbers together. Fun way to help students work on their memorization!
This 1 page quiz tests students knowledge on: -adding fractions -subtracting fractions -finding a percent of a total -finding a total given a percent and a part -finding the percent given the part and the total Also on the back page is a critical thinking logic puzzle for students to try if they finish early during the alloted time.

Teaching style
I love to teach math to all levels of students: intervention, at level, and advanced. I create lesson plans to reach ALL types of learners: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, interpersonal etc.
