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.

Students practice solving one step, two step and multi-step one variable equations with integer answers. Great for review and practice as well as targeted intervention for struggling learners.
Students cut apart and shuffle dominoes and then draw an equal number for their hand. The student with the start places that domino first and then students solve the equations in their hands to see who can place the next domino. Student who uses all their dominoes wins.
Package include 3 sets of each: 8, 12, 16 and 24 dominoes. Smaller set is ideal for partner practice while the larger sets are great for groups of 3 or 4. Buying the bundle saves you money versus buying the 3 sets individually and includes One Step, Two Step and Multi Step Equation Dominoes from Blue Mountain Math.
My classroom always features Fun Friday where we play review games and activities to develop skills in a collaborative atmosphere.
3 Sets of matching cards included to help students master calculating the central angles in circles. In each set there are 20 pairs of matching cards--half with a diagram of a circle with angle indicated and the other half with either the measure of the angle or the value of "x".
The easiest level of cards with have students identify angles and calculate measures with 1 or 2 steps. The second set has students identifiy angle relationships and find the value of "x" in the expression. The most challenging set has students use the theorems to identify and create a correct equation to solve for x and then use that variable to find the angle measure.
This is a great set to use for differentiating in the classroom. Use in a variety of ways as described in the directions or in my free resource.
Students practice adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions in a game format. This bundle includes 4 different sets of dominoes for each fraction operation for a total of : 4-8 Domino sets, 4- 12 Domino sets, 4- 16 Domino sets and 4- 24 Domino sets. 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. This is a great activity for review and practice.
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 answer/fraction problem 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 working with fractions. BONUS: I have include a bonus set of dominoes with this bundle. 2 additional sets of 24 dominoes one set with addition and subtraction mixed and the other set with multiplication and division mixed.
Students practice adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions 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 4 sets of 18 pairs of matching cards --one set for each of the 4 operations. Cards have one side with the fraction problem, the other side with a solution. Great activity to practice or review before a test.
Individual Matching Card sets of each operation available separately.
Fraction Multiplication Matching Card Set.
Fraction Subtraction Matching Card Set.
Fraction Addition Matching Card Set.
Fraction Division Matching Card Set.
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.
