This resources contains: A total of 50 cards (24 task cards and 1 title card per set) Student recording sheet per set Answer key per set Complete PDF and individual PNG files of the cards also included in each set Instructions: Print, laminate and cut the individual cards. (p. 2-8) Print student sheet (p. 9) and provide each student with a worksheet. You may prefer to allow students to work in pairs Distribute the cards around the room 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!

Know Your Fractions – Simplifying, Equivalents, 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. Likewise, simplifying and the ability to recognize an equivalent fraction quickly and easily is a skill that takes practice. 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 Bundle contains: 38 cards (36 task cards & 1 title card per set) A total of 72 questions (2 questions per card) Student recording sheets Answer keys 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!

Know Your Fractions – Concept Switch Level 1 and 2 Bundle are task cards designed to provide students with opportunities to improve their understanding of a range of fractional concepts. Students will add and subtract fractions (Level 2 only add); however, the cards are specially designed so that students are required to mentally switch between different fractional concepts for every card. As students work through the questions, they develop a greater understanding of the variety of ways a fraction can be visually represented. This requires a higher level of thinking than simply adding fractions that continuously uses 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 included in the cards include: Fraction with a numerator and denominator Parts of a whole Number Line In words Fraction of a group Decimals (Level 2 only) Percentages (Level 2 only) As the cards progress in Level 2 students are also tasked with: Converting improper factions into mixed numbers Simplifying fractions Although these cards are commonly used as task cards, they have also been used successfully in math centers or rotations. This resources contains: A total of 50 cards (48 task cards and 2 title cards) Student recording sheets Answer keys Complete PDF and individual PNG files of the cards also included Instructions: Print, laminate and cut the individual cards. (p. 2-8) Print student sheet (p. 9 in Level 1 and p. 9 & 10 in Level 2) 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

Know Your Decimals Add and Subtract Money – Abracadabra Antiques Bundle are task cards designed to provide students with opportunities to improve their skills in adding and subtracting decimals. The context is related to a fictional store called Abracadabra Antiques which sells antiques. In the first set, students are required to add the sales from the store’s morning and afternoon sessions. In the second set, 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. The context simulates real-world examples as these calculations are common practice for any store or business in the real world. Students will add and 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, 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 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: 54 cards (48 task cards, 1 title card per set & a display card highlighting the selling and cost prices for the products in the Abracadabra Antiques store) Student recording sheet Answer keys 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. Print student sheet 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!
