Middle School Math Emergency Sub Plans - 5 Days No Prep Self-Checking Worksheets

Five full days of substitute-ready middle school math in one no-prep download, built for the problem that makes a math absence hard: the person covering your room almost certainly cannot teach integer sign rules or the Pythagorean Theorem. Nothing here asks them to. Every page opens with a fully worked example that states every rule that page needs, every second page checks its own answers, and a run sheet at the front tells the substitute exactly what to hand out. The five days cover the spine of the grade 6-8 course, so the set can be handed over as a week or pulled one day at a time. You come back to a complete set of answer keys and a class that kept working.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• Sub & Teacher Notes run sheet (what to hand out each day, what to print, and why the substitute does not need to grade anything)
• 5 days of student work, two pages per day (109 problems total)
• 5 complete answer keys, one per day
• US Letter, low-ink, two-sided printable

WHY A SUBSTITUTE CAN ACTUALLY RUN THIS

• Every page opens with a fully worked example, so a stuck student reads the page instead of asking the sub a math question
• Every second page checks itself – answers trace a path through a maze or spell out a punchline, so a wrong answer is caught by the student, not adjudicated by the sub
• Every day has an “if you finish early” challenge, so nobody runs out of work
• No calculator, textbook, login, or internet needed

THE 5 DAYS

1. Integers & Rational Numbers (25 problems, decoder)
2. Ratios, Rates & Percent (20 problems, maze)
3. Expressions & Equations (21 problems, decoder)
4. Geometry: Area, Volume & Angles (20 problems, maze)
5. Data & Probability (23 problems, decoder)
   Each day stands alone, so they can run in any order or be pulled one at a time.

PERFECT FOR

• Emergency and planned substitute days in Middle School Math (grades 6-8)
• Planned absences, professional development days, and testing weeks when you are pulled to proctor
• Review before a test, the first week of school, or the day before a break
• Homeschool families working through Middle School Math
