Tara's Math Resources

I found that this template worked well because with the empty space for name, students remembered to write their names more often.

Packet includes three building enrichment situations plus order forms for smooth transitions and classroom management. I allowed students to exchange materials once they realized it did not work as they thought it would. Materials were easy to find cheaply at Walmart and Michaels using coupons. Additionally, packet includes an introduction to Punnett Squares (science) as a fourth STEM activity.

An introductory activity easily paired with posters or notes pages for students to learn about the mathematical practices.

The template has a few ideas in answer key, but I enjoy having students come up with their own real-life situations. It gets them engaged with the lesson.
