Kaffenate Math

Average Rating5.00
(based on 4 reviews)

I have been a math teacher for almost 20 years at all age levels, homeschool through college, private schools and public schools. I've taught gifted students, challenged students, and students who thought math was BORING. My favorite students to teach, though, are the ones who think they can't do it. 10% of all Proceeds for Kaffenate Math go to this AWESOME horse rescue: https://www.facebook.com/TAPSfordrafts/

Math Mixups are a fun twist on Math Magic Squares. The numbers in the grey boxes are row and column totals. However, the numbers in the middle are all mixed up! Students need to rearrange the numbers so that the sums of the columns and rows equal the numbers in the grey boxes… with a few numbers to get them started. This is a great activity for filling that last 10 minutes of the day or for students who finish work early in class. Have fun!

While I’d like to believe that students LIVE to watch MATH videos… I know that’s not always the case. Sigh. This worksheet will help keep the students on track, either at home or in class. Or perhaps you could use this as a pop quiz!

This video revolves around a decision, a real life example… where I’m going on my next winter vacation. Through this example, I introduce the concepts or ordering integers and comparing integers (inequalities).
