How to Keep Score in Bowling – A Real-life Application of Following Directions and Addition Skills Back in the “old days”, people who bowled at the bowling alley were given a paper score sheet, and it was up to them to keep score to determine the winner of the game. Today the scoring is all done by computer, and if one can read the numbers on a monitor, one can determine who won the game. Most young people today do not have a clue about how to keep score in bowling. This resource is designed t

This resource is not just for the Christmas holidays. We have math class all year long. As a take-off on the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”, “The Twelve Days of Math Class” recounts all the gifts received by a student from his or her math teacher… “On the twelfth day of math class, my teacher gave to me: 12 calculators, 11 plastic rulers, 10 sets of markers, 9 mini whiteboards, 8 pink erasers, 7 sharpened pencils, 6 packs of paper, 5 binder rings, 4 number cubes, 3 red pens, 2 paper clips

Pythagorean Theorem – Solving Real-Life Problems This resource presents ten real-life problems that are solved using the Pythagorean Theorem. A diagram accompanies each problem. An answer key is included, along with 2 solution pages which detail how each problem is solved. The ten problems are presented in three formats: 1) A black and white printable worksheet (PDF) - free response answers - can be used as a review/practice exercise - can be used as a formative assessment 2) A digital activit

Basic Math Fact Fluency with Mixed Combinations – Level Two with Three Operations Every math teacher knows that basic math fact fluency is critical to student success in any math procedure involving computation.
