Tapped Out

The outside flaps feature a horizontal and vertical number line on the outside and hints for comparing and ordering on the inside flaps. The inside middle features the definition of integers, comparison and contrast of abolute value and opposites, and also zero pairs.

This flowchart foldable walks students encourages students to use one of four mental strategies to compare fractions first and then shows them what to do if a mental strategy doesn't initially work.

This is used for review once students know algorithms for all fraction operations. It is especially useful for students who just need a little boost.

Place on the front of practice for tax, tip, markup and discount. Students can use this as a study sheet or "cheat sheet." They enjoy coloring and decorating the front in order to solidify their understanding.

This is a great way to help students review the concept of scientific notation. Negative exponents indicate a "small" number. Positive exponents indicate a "big" number.

This is the perfect poster to put around your school or community when starting up your own composting system. Includes pictures and words, so it is appropriate for younger audiences as well as older students.

Doodle notes for Literal Equations.

Intended to be "doodle" notes. Key included.

This reference sheet allows students to relate to following the order of operations in terms of eating a 4-scoop ice cream cone. Take one flavor at a time.

This template is a great way to present students with different entry points to functions and linear equations. Give students one page that has the graph filled in and they complete the rest; on another, give them the verbal expression and have them complete the remaining portions of the paper.

These notes feature the importance of the position of a negative number when simplifying expressions involving exponents.

Perfect for students who are just learning the order of operations.

At the beginning of each quarter students are required to fill out this goal sheet for math. They set a grade goal and an academic behavior goal. Each week they reflect on how their performance during that week relates to their goals for the quarter.

Doodle notes for graphing lines written in standard form. Only the key is provided.

Keep it simple! Perfect for grades 5 and above!

A notes page for y-intercept. Feel free to contact me for an answer key.

I have used this sheet in two different ways: To introduce Order of Operations and to introduce Writing Expressions. Have students find the answer first (that is likely what is comfortable) and then work with them to write a numerical expression (or equation) to describe the scenario. I spent an entire week on just these 4 problems. In 17 years of teaching, I have never had so much success with Order of Operations after beginning the unit in this way.

Short and to-the-point notes on slope formula. Feel free to contact me for a key.

A visual aid for Order of Operations.
