Tori Joelle The "Pi Shop Activity" focuses on standard 7.G.4 (area and circumference of a circle) while reviewing standards 7.EE.4 (using variables to represent unknown quantities) and 7.RP.3 (percent problems). This activity is self-directed and encourages independent thinking and problem-solving skills. It starts by asking students to create 3 different types of pies. They are then asked to assign prices to the pies, find area/circumference/radius of the pies, create equations based on c

This activity is aligned with Common Core Standard 7.EE.3 with an emphasis on conversion between decimals, percentages, and fractions. Before using this activity, I reviewed with my students how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages. In this activity, students read 3-6 short facts about March Madness basketball games. They then use these facts in order to answer a series of questions that requires conversion between fractions, decimals, and percentages. It is a fun acti

Tori Joelle This Coin and Dice Activity is a way for students to explore Common Core standard 7.SP.6 through two "mini activities". First, teachers will give definitions for the necessary vocabulary. The first activity directs students to complete different numbers of coin tosses and record the experimental probabilities. The second activity directs students to use a dice in order to observe and record the experimental probabilities. The activity ends with students forming inferences about
