This is a self checking puzzle that students love to do! You can customize this puzzle based on complexity or time with 4 options to choose from. If you like this puzzle, make sure to check out my store "The Merry Mathematician" for more puzzles and games for math stations.

A fun game for students to practice subtracting integers! Students place each puzzle piece so that each value is connected to an equivalent value. Pairs of equivalent values should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Subtracting Positive Integers (Outcomes may be negative) Level 2: Subtracting Positive and Negative Integers Two Puzzle Frame Options -Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. -Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for group or 15-20 minute stations.

Three Activities for stations that students can use to develop their understanding of multiples and multiplication. These activities come with a procedure page, materials if necessary, and a student recording page.

This is a Bundle of eleven activities that can be used as group/center/menu stations for students during workshop class time. For each Activity you can find all the materials you will need as well as a student recording sheet. *I make a booklet with these recording sheets so students can track their work in stations throughout our multiplication and number sense unit. :) Topics included are: -Arrays -Factors -(Prime/Composite Opportunities embedded) -Multiples -Common Multiples -Multi-digit Multiplication There are games, problem solving activities, and math stories for use in classrooms from grade 3-6.

Great for Stations or a Class Wide "Scoot" with Partners! These puzzles are easy to set up and self checking! To set them up just print (two sided), cut them out, and paperclip the sets together or sort into small baggies. Then students can organize them in order from least to greatest. If they think they are in the right order they flip them over and look for the message on the back. If the message makes sense, then they have them in the right order. If not, they should flip them over and try again. A student recording sheet and key is also included! :)

A fun game for students to practice multiplying integers with 1 and 2 digit numbers. Students place each puzzle piece so that each value is connected to an equivalent value.

This bundle includes everything you need to help students construct an understanding of divisibility! Lesson Plan and Activity: Students are guided to test over 45 numbers for divisibility for numbers 1-10. They then use the numbers that are divisible by each divisor to develop a rule for each (as a class). This is a FUN activity which promotes active learning with a high engagement rate. Graphic Organizer: There are two front options and three options for the inside so you can customize how much you want your students to take notes vs. focus on creating the rules as a class. This aides in differentiation and can be a great time saver! Posters: There are four color posters which can be hung vertically to remind students of the divisibility rules from 1-10 (7 and 8 excluded). These are great when teaching about simplifying fractions and working with division/estimation. Game: The Tiger Escape Game which I have included allows students to practice what they have learned in a fun, easy to set up game. Students use their divisibility rules to move the tiger through the game board while checking to see which of the spaces along the path are divisible by the numbers 1-10 (7 and 8 excluded).

-Equivalent Fractions- A fun game for students to practice finding equivalent fractions. Students place each puzzle piece so that each fraction is connected to an equivalent fraction. Pairs of equivalent fractions should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Simplest form and Equivalent Fraction Level 2: Equivalent Fractions without Simplest Form. Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for group or 15-20 minute stations.

These mazes are easy to set up and easy to use while providing practice for the skill of finding volume for rectangular prisms. Students are able to see that a particular volume can be reached by a variety of factors that equal the same product. This helps students identify commutativity with the factors. There are 4 game boards included. You can: Print each puzzle board, then laminate and let students use the tiger pieces to mark the correct spaces and the x’s for spaces that do not equal the target number. Or Print as worksheets on a full or half page and let students write directly on them.

These task cards can be used at stations, as a class activity (scoots and treasure hunts are GREAT!) or along with gameboards. There are levels included: Whole numbers Divided by Unit Fractions Unit Fractions Divided by Whole Numbers Fractions Divided by Fractions Division with Fractions Greater than 1 Student recording sheet, problems at a glance and answer sheet included.

Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for quick finishers or longer station times.

An Activity to help students practice the skill: Finding Fractional Parts of a Number! Game Play requires students to determine the highest or lowest value when comparing fractions of a number. Includes: 48 Game Cards & Directions. Players each get an equal amount of cards. Then, each turns over a card. Example: 1/2 of 28 vs. 2/3 of 18 Then they compare the values of both cards. 1/2 of 28 = 14 vs. 2/3 of 18 =12 The person with the highest value on their card gets to keep both cards. The object is to be the person with the greatest number of cards at the end of the game.

Prime Factorization *Diamond Match Game* 4 levels of complexity Student recording sheet included Play a match game with one or more levels Level 1-Defining numbers as prime or composite. Composite numbers have only two factors. Levels 2, 3, 4-Numbers are broken into their prime factorization and rewritten using exponents.

As students engage in authentic problem solving, they learn how to apply the mathematics they learn in the classroom to the world beyond! Students must determine who received a greater portion of a tray of brownies in task. -This task encourages students to apply their fraction sense to determine when and how to appropriately multiply and divide whole numbers and fractions. -Additionally, students will compare two unit fractions to determine which is greater. This PowerPoint includes teacher facilitation questions, a guide to understanding the mathematics in the problem, a scaffolded approach to problem solving, and possible solutions. This is the method I use to help my students engage deeply in problem solving and stretch themselves beyond "number plugging" as many students do when they solve a "word problem". I have included a powerpoint version as well as a printable .pdf to fit the needs of your classroom.
