This activity asks the students to plot various ordered pairs on a coordinate plane and connect the points to make a polygon. Then they are expected to calculate the area and/or perimeter of each shape. The first worksheet has a square, two rectangles and a triangle. The triangle is starred to show higher level thinking. Each polygon is to be colored a different color. The second worksheet asks the students to plot the points of five polygons: a triangle, two rectangles and two composite f

This editable reference sheet can be copied and distributed to students at the beginning of the school year to be used as a reference the whole year! You can either color copy it or print it in black and white. If you are able to laminate it for durability, that is ideal but a sheet protector works just as well! Click on the preview to see all the topics covered. If you are so inclined, please leave some feedback. It would be greatly appreciated.

Learn all about the Greenhouse Effect with this in depth Station Activity. I have used these stations two ways: 1) As true stations where the students rotate. 2) Each station completed on a separate day. I use the coordinate graphing as an extra. Students bring it with them to every station and if they finish early they have something to do. Station 1 - Informational Text - Read informational text about the Greenhouse Effect. Answer the questions that follow in complete sentences. Sta

This activity is perfect for a unit on integers. It gives the average high temperatures for four cities over the course of 12 months. Both positive and negative temperatures are given. The first 12 questions are various questions based on comparing the temperatures. Students need to be able to interpret the chart in order to answer correctly. The next section asks students to calculate the mean, median, mode and range of each set of city temperatures. The final page requires students to pl

This activity consists of nine word problems that directly correlate to science topics. Topics included are weather (temperature and barometric pressure), and dynamic earth (earthquakes, volcanoes and ocean floor spreading). Adding and subtracting positive and negative integers are imbedded in every question. There are two problems that have decimals. Visuals (charts, graphs, number lines, thermometers, barometer) accompany each question to help lower level learners. Check out the preview f

This ratio worksheet addresses ratio word problems. It focuses on the concepts of "total" and "difference" as well as Part/Part, Part/Whole and Whole to Part relationships.

Don't say good-bye to summer just yet! Problem: I just moved into a new home which fortunately has an in ground pool! Unfortunately…it doesn’t have a liner, tile around the pool, water OR a solar cover. Challenge: The pool has the following dimensions: (dimensions will vary depending on level. There are three different levels - the circle (easiest - whole numbers), the triangle (middle - tenths), and the square (most difficult-hundredths and thousandths) Draw a sketch of the pool, lab

This two week activity allows students to show their skill in everything decimal! They will be required to: *perform all decimal operations (multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) *round to the nearest whole number, tenths place and hundredths place *order from least to greatest *show inequalities using decimals *write decimal numbers in words Take a look at the preview to see exactly what Dynamic Decimals is all about!

Teach or review the concepts of perimeter and area while getting your students up and out of their seats. This activity is editable so you can change the items to measure to suit your classroom. I have used this activity to measure to the nearest whole number, 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch and 1/10 inch. It is a good way to differentiate for your students. I also like to have several types of measuring tools (small see through plastic ruler, standard one foot ruler and yardstick) to see which one the s

Print out and laminate these graphic, colorful task cards. There are 10 task cards. Students calculate the amount of time it would take them to get to a destination while traveling a given speed limit and mileage. They also write an inequality to show the possible speed. Students document their answers on a recording sheet. Answer key included.

This foldable breaks down the Mean Absolute Deviation process into three easy steps! This resource can be glued into the students' notebooks and can be easily accessed as a reference.
