Also included for a 'real world' application is a visual of cereal box and determining how much surface area it has in order to purchase paint to decorate the prism for a project. The guided notes are in Google S

This Google Slides Activity includes 17 slides with various activities relating to negative numbers and exploring absolute value when given real-world scenarios. Students are asked to sort numbers depending upon whether they are integers or not, plot positive and negative numbers on a number line, compare the value of positive and negative numbers, and finally determine the overall change from a positive to a negative number with real world situations. I have used this activity in my 6th grade c

This Google Slides Activity includes 20 different activity slides, 10 of which students must scale ratios up or down to find missing numbers on ratio tables. The other 10 slides provide a ratio and ask students to come up with equivalent ratios on their own by scaling up the starting simplified ratio. Slide 1 of the activity demonstrates how to use the scaling method to find equivalent ratios - students should view this slide only using Present Mode in order to see the strategy they can use.

Contained in this resource: 4 student work pages which help them to write expressions based on a simple menu of burgers/fries/soft drinks. They are then asked to combine like terms to simplify the expressions, then eventually to explore the process of solving an expression when given the value for the variables. Could be used in conjuction with a whole class lesson, to practice the skills independently, or to accompany self-guided learning. 4 page Answer Key I'd love for you to rate this produ

This product download includes a 6-page PDF document that provides practice for finding a missing value in ratio tables. There are 10 ratio tables each missing two values; students must find patterns in the numbers and/or ratio relationships to find the missing values. Once the values have been determined, students will match up those values with correct answers on the color by number portion of the assignment, which serves as an answer check. The image to be colored has 3 different versions inc

This Google Slides Activity includes 6 slides with different sets of numbers that students are asked to sort, identify the minimum and maximum, quartiles 1 and 3, and the median. When done with this process, students are asked to use the shapes provided to create a box-and-whisker plot to represent the 5-number summary. The slides are very easy to duplicate and a 7th slide with additional numbers is provided in the event that a teacher would like to duplicate slides and add additional sets of n

This product download includes a set of guided notes that introduce dividing both whole numbers and fractions by fractions and setting up and using visual models to help with conceptual understanding. The guided notes are in Google Slides format and can be edited, if needed.

This Google Slides Activity includes 12 unique slides that involve dividing decimals by whole numbers using manipulatives to create a visual representation and solve. The students are asked to move the blocks in order to split them into equal groups based on the divisor provided. Then, once the students have solved the problem using the visuals, they will represent the quotient that matches their visual model. The slides are very easy to duplicate if you would like to add more than the 12 tha

This Google Slides activity includes 31 unique slides that introduce percents and help students to gain a better understanding of percents as they relate to each other and to real world scenarios. Students first work to compare percents with other benchmark percents using a bar model or tape diagram. Students are asked to explain the relationship between 100% and 50%, 50% and 25%, etc. Next, they are asked to compare percents as they relate to fractions (for example, 20% is one-fifth of 100%)

This Google Slides Activity includes 12 different activity slides that provide practice with breaking down numbers into smaller factors until they cannot be broken down by common factors any longer. Once this process has been completed, students will take the prime (and sometimes composite) numbers they are left with to calculate both Greatest Common Factor and Least Common Multiple. Students will need to have some practice with the Ladder Method prior to working on this activity. I have used

This product download includes a set of guided notes that introduce the concept of different types of variables in an algebraic expression: dependent and independent. The notes discuss the difference between these, provide an example using a word problem and equation, then display related values in a table and eventually plot related values on a graph and reinforce which value depends upon which in the real-world scenario. The guided notes are in Google Slides format and can be edited, if neede

This Google Slides Activity includes 12 unique slides that involve determining factors and multiples, common factors and common multiples of 2 numbers, and both the greatest common factor and least common multiple of the same 2 numbers. The students will start first by pairing up factor pairs, then determining the common factors of 2 numbers in order to then list the GCF of those numbers. Then students use tables to organize multiples of a number up to the 10th multiple, compare multiples of 2

This product download includes a set of guided notes that introduce finding the area of parallelograms (square, rectangle, rhombus, etc.) and trapezoids. The concept of adding an altitude line is covered as well, both within a parallelogram and within trapezoid, and the use of a grid to find the dimensions of both a parallelogram and trapezoid is also included. The guided notes are in Google Slides format and can be edited, if needed. Aligned with the original (unedited) guided notes come three

This Google Slides Activity includes 12 slides with various numeric algebraic expressions that include both potential use of the Distributive Property and combining like terms. The goal is not to solve the expressions, but to rewrite them in order to simplify. Students are asked first to use the Distributive Property on each expression in order to rewrite it, and then, to combine any terms that are alike to rewrite the expression again. I have used this activity in my 6th grade classroom and al

This product download includes a set of guided notes that introduce finding the area of triangles - right, acute, and obtuse triangles. The concept of adding an altitude line is covered both adding one within the shape and outside of the shape. A connection between the formula for a parallelogram and a triangle is made, too, to help reinforce why the area of a triangle is half of that of a related parallelogram. The guided notes are in Google Slides format and can be edited, if needed. Aligned

This Google Slides Activity includes 5 unique slides that help students create nets for a cube, a rectangular prism, a triangular prism, a trapezoidal prism, and a hexagonal prism. Each slide then asks the students to find the total surface area of each geometric solid by looking at the separate faces and then adding all of the faces' areas together. The slides become moderately more difficult as students progress through the activity, starting with a simple cube and ending with a hexagonal pri
