I like an active classroom where everyone is busy. If you stop in one day it will look like chaos, but it is a carefully orchestrated chaos that cleverly disguises all the learning that we are doing. I use a lot of activities -- and keep the kids moving. Research says that if anyone sits for more than 15 minutes, their brain disengages and learning is not happening. So I design a lot of activities to get kids moving, talking, thinking and participating.

Angles Formed by Parallel Lines Matching Card Set

(0)
Students practice finding the measures of angles formed by parallel lines in this matching activity to use in a variety of ways. Cut apart and use for a single student or pair of students. The set includes 18 pairs of matching cards—one side with diagram of angles, the other side a measure. On half the cards is a diagram with the angles marked. Students will need to identify the type of angle relationship and then use the given algebraic expression to find the value of x on the other card. Great review activity for identifying angle relationships and calculating measures. You can use to pair up students for other activities. You can also use these cards as a ticket in the door or ticket out the door. Additional uses for these cards are explained in the directions or download my free resource.
Scientific Notation Domino Set

Scientific Notation Domino Set

(0)
Students practice matching standard notation to scientific notation in a game format. Set includes 4 different sets of dominoes: 8 Dominoes, 12 Dominoes, 16 Dominoes and 24 Dominoes. The smaller sets are great for pairs or even a student who likes to work alone. The larger sets are good for groups of 3 or 4. Dominoes are cut apart, placed face down and students draw all dominoes equally. Student with "start" places the first domino and then student with the match in their hand plays the next. This continues until one student is out of dominoes and is declared the winner. I usually give 5 points per domino left in other students hands and keep a running tally. Students love playing games in the classroom and this set will give them the opportunity to practice scientific notation and have fun at the same time. For students who struggle, have them practice rewrite each problem before they match.

One Step Equation Domino Set

Great way to practice and review solving one step equations. 4 sets included: 8 Domino set, 12 Domino set, 16 Domino Set and 24 Domino Set. Played the same way as domino game. Students cut apart and shuffle dominoes, then draw and equal number for their hand. The student with start places first domino and then both students solve the equations in their hands to match the solution on the card played. First player to use all their dominoes wins. Smaller set is ideal for partner play and larger sets for groups of 3 or 4. Friday is always Fun Day in my classroom so we always have some type of review game.

Writing Linear Equations Station Quest

(0)
This is a wonderful collaborative activity to practice writing linear equations. Groups will work together to use the information given to write linear equations in either point slope form, standard form or slope intercept form. Correct groups receive a piece of the 9 piece puzzle. When all 9 stations have been solved, groups will write the additional 3 equations on the puzzle and finish the quest! Groups will write a two equations at each of 9 stations and 3 additional equations on the 9 piece puzzle helping to improve their math skills.

This activity is so versatile and you can use in a variety of ways. The set includes 18 pairs of one step equations. In each pair, there are two different equations for students to solve and match to each other. This is a great activity to match up students into pairs, or have groups compete against each other and see who can match up all 18 pairs first. You can give students half the cards and keep the other half for yourself. Then either show one card or write the equation on the board and see which team/student can identify the equation with the same solution. You can also use these cards as a ticket in the door or ticket out the door. Additional uses for these cards are explained in the directions.

Slope Connect Four

Slope Connect Four

(0)
Students practice finding slope from 2 points in pairs by playing Connect Four. Each pair of students needs a pair of dice (I use the big foam dice for fun) and a student rolls the dice to determine the row and column of the problem they work. When the problem is completed on the included student worksheet, the partner checks the work and if it is correct the student marks the game sheet, if not the partner gets the square. Play continues until one student has 4 in a row. Students love playing games and throwing dice, so this gives them the opportunity to do both while practicing the valuable skill of finding slope. You can laminate the game sheets for extra use or print extras. 3 different game sheets included with answer keys. This purchase is for one teacher only. Additional teachers must purchase their own license. You may not upload this resource to the internet in any form.

Equivalent Fractions Puzzle Set

(0)
Students practice simplifying fractions in these 4 puzzles. In two of the puzzles, equivalent fractions have fewer factors and simplify to common fractions up to tenths. More difficult puzzles have many factors and simplify to fifteenths and larger. Puzzles have 2 levels for differentiation in the classroom and answer keys are included for all. In the simpler level, the outside edges are blank, so if students are having difficulty, have them arrange the pieces so the blank sides are on the outside. In the more challenging level, the edges have additional problems/answers in the border to make solving a little more difficult. Set includes 4 different puzzles with 2 different levels of difficulty for students to practice simplifying fractions and identifying equivalent fractions. You can use the puzzles on different days, at stations or give the struggling students the simpler variation.

Scientific Notation Amazing Math

(0)
Students practice converting from standard notation to scientific notation in 3 of these mazes and from scientific notation to standard notation in the other three. This is a fun way to practice a skill and keeps students engaged at the same time. I have students use a colored pencil to trace their path and show their work. If they make a mistake, I have them use a different color to continue their work. This way we can see the points of confusion and help clarify. Great for sub work, extra practice at home or use for early finishers as well. I keep several types of mazes available for students as a spiral practice. Works in stations as well.

Students practice applying the rules of exponents with these 2 decks of cards. There are 2 complete decks each containing 96 cards. In each deck 48 cards have algebraic expressions using different rules of exponents and 48 cards with simplified answers. Deck 2 is a little more challenging, allowing teachers to differentiate in the classroom between struggling and more advanced students. Answer keys are included for both decks. Bongo is a bingo type game played with decks of cards. It is a great activity for groups of 2-6 students. Cards are with problems or answers (but not both) are shuffled and each student is dealt 6 cards. Players turn their cards face up in front of them. Then the other deck is used to turn up one card at a time. If the student has a match, they turn it face down. When all cards are turned face down, yell BONGO. This purchase is for one teacher only.
