Know Your World Quiz Task Cards - Human Features Set 1

(0)
Know Your World Quiz – Human Features Set 1 is a set of fun, general knowledge task cards. Questions are based on 25 famous human features in our wondrous world. The 5 trivia categories are arranged by continents: South America and Oceania Europe Africa Asia North America The human features included in Set 1: Buenos Aires Obelisk (Argentina), Sydney Opera House (Australia), Machu Picchu (Peru), Cathedral of Brasília (Brazil), Las Lajas Sanctuary (Columbia), The Parthenon (Greece), The Eiffel Tower (France), Sagrada Familia (Spain), Tower Bridge (England), Neuschwanstein Castle (Germany), Abuja National Mosque (Nigeria), The Pyramids of Giza (Egypt), Aït Benhaddou (Morocco), Afrikaans Language Monument (South Africa), The Rock-hewn Churches of Lalibela (Ethiopia), The Great Wall of China (China), The White Temple (Thailand), The Petronas Towers (Malaysia), The Blue Mosque (Turkey), The Taj Mahal (India), Chichen Itza (Mexico), The Statue of Liberty (United States), CN Tower (Canada), Tikal National Park (Guatemala), Golden Gate Bridge (United States) This resource contains: 25 Multiple Choice Task Cards and 1 Title Card Student Sheet Answer Key PDF and PNG Files Instructions: Print, laminate and cut the individual cards (p. 2-8) This resource can be delivered a few different ways: As a research activity: Print out just the questions for the students (p. 9-10). Students progressively research their answers on the internet (some questions require creative and skilful research skills!) Teachers may wish to have students work in pairs to research their answers. It is helpful if a time limit for research is imposed to ensure students stay on task. To make it challenging, I make it only about 30 or 45 minutes, so students need to be strategic with the questions they research. The task cards can then be spread around the room and students are given the answer template to write their answers. From experience, this is a much better learning experience. There appears to be so much more student satisfaction when students actually know an answer that they have found during their research as opposed to giving it their best guess. Even without assigning the research questions first, the task cards by themselves have still proved be a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging activity. At the end, students can check their answers with the answer key and add up their totals. The quiz could also be used as an ice-breaker for a new group of students, as a staff team-building activity or end-of-year gathering. Teachers can of course adapt the quiz and the rules to better suit their classroom environment. Enjoy!

Know Your Fractions Task Cards - Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions
MTeachingPeaksMTeachingPeaks

Know Your Fractions Task Cards - Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions

(0)
Know Your Fractions – Mixed numbers and Improper fractions are task cards designed to provide students with opportunities to improve their understanding of a range of fractional concepts. Converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers is an important step and time needs to be invested to allow students the chance to build their confidence to do so fluently. The student with a developed ability to convert with fluency will ensure more complex fractional concepts introduced in high school are met with an established confidence. As students work through the questions, they also develop a greater understanding of the variety of ways a fraction can be visually represented. This requires a higher level of thinking than simply continuing to use the same visual representation. While setting an overall time limit is useful, it is important not to overstress time and urgency as students require a slightly deeper concentration to work properly and should be encouraged to work at the pace that works for them. The fractional concepts used for mixed numbers and improper fractions: Fraction with a numerator and denominator Parts of a whole Number Line In words Fraction of a group Although these cards are commonly used as task cards, they have also been used successfully in math centers or rotations. This resources contains: 19 cards (18 task cards & 1 title card) A total of 36 questions (2 questions per card) Student recording sheet Answer key Complete PDF and individual PNG files of the cards also included Instructions: Print, laminate and cut the individual cards. (p. 2-6) Print student sheet (p. 7) and provide each student with a worksheet Distribute the cards around the room (or allocate your desired number of cards for use in a math rotation or center). Students may start at any number and work their way through in any order, but it is helpful to remind students to write the answer in the same numbered answer box i.e., if they are on card number 12, they should write their answer in answer box number 12 Check answers Enjoy!
Math Center: Mixed Representations – Subtraction

Math Center: Mixed Representations – Subtraction

(0)
Math Center: Mixed Representations – Subtraction is a matching activity designed to build both a conceptual and working understanding that amounts can be represented in many ways. It develops mental computational fluency, creates flexibility in counting and is an ideal resource for independent math centers or math station rotations. Instructions: Print, laminate and cut the individual cards. Mix the cards. Students create a match of three by finding 2 cards that have the same value as the answer card. Using the imbedded arrows, one of the cards is placed on the left and one on the right while the answer card is always in the middle. Cards can be divided into as few or as many sets as required. Depending on space and time, I will usually make a center/rotation that requires between 6 or 10 matches. It all depends on your own class situation. This resource contains: 61 cards / 20 matches (3 cards to a match) and one title card. PDF and PNG files. Enjoy!

Know Your Decimals Task Cards - Adding Money for Abracadabra Antiques

(0)
Know Your Decimals - Adding Money for Abracadabra Antiques are task cards designed to provide students with opportunities to improve their skills in adding decimals. The context is related to a fictional store called Abracadabra Antiques which sells antiques. Students are required to add the sales from the store’s morning and afternoon sessions. Students will add both double and triple-digit numbers using 2 decimal places (appropriate for money). At times, a product has been sold more than once in a session so students may find themselves drawing on a variety of mental computation skills such as doubling, compensating (rounding then adjusting) and multiplying by 10 by adding an extra zero. Although it is possible for high achieving students to mentally calculate the totals, it is more than appropriate tor them to use the back of their answer sheet to make any calculations necessary. While these cards are commonly used as task cards, they have also been used successfully in math centers or rotations. This resources contains: 26 cards (24 task cards, 1 title card & one card displaying the products in the Abracadabra Antiques store) Student recording sheet Answer key Complete PDF and individual PNG files of the cards also included (very helpful for demonstrating an example or working through a card as a whole class) Instructions: Print, laminate and cut the individual cards.

Know Your Decimals Subtracting Money – Abracadabra Antiques are task cards designed to provide students with opportunities to improve their skills in subtracting decimals. The context is related to a fictional store called Abracadabra Antiques which sells antiques. Students are required to subtract the cost price of an item from the price from which it was sold, thus working out the profit for the day. Students will subtract both double and triple-digit numbers using 2 decimal places (appropriate for money). At times, a product has been sold more than once in a day so students may find themselves drawing on a variety of mental computation skills such as doubling, halving, compensating (rounding then adjusting) and multiplying by 10 by adding an extra zero. Although it is possible for high (super high?) achieving students to mentally calculate the totals, it is more than appropriate for them to use the back of their answer sheet to make any calculations necessary. While these cards are commonly used as task cards, they have also been used successfully in math centers or rotations. This resources contains: 27 cards (24 task cards, 1 title card & two cards displaying the selling and cost prices for the products in the Abracadabra Antiques store) Student recording sheet Answer key Complete PDF and individual PNG files of the cards also included (very helpful for demonstrating an example or working through a card as a whole class) Instructions: Print, laminate and cut the individual cards.
