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.

Looking for a quick and fun way to practice integers without using another boring worksheet? Students will love beginning each maze at the "start" position, solving a problem to find the next place to move until they reach the place marked "end".
3 versions of mazes with adding and subtracting integers with answer keys included as well. I like to have students work in twos (or threes) if you have an odd number in the class, give each student a different version and have them work and help each other.
Students practice addition and subtraction of integers to increase levels to reach the top of the pyramid. There are three different levels of difficulty included with answer keys for all.
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.
Practice finding slope from two points with 2 different pairs of collaborative worksheets for students. Pairs of students complete different worksheets of 10 problems each that have the same answers. Great activity for students to check their work, and promote problem solving skills.
Use on one day for different levels of learners in the classroom or different days. You can also use as homework checks using one of the versions and follow up with the matching version the next day to have students check their homework answers.
Also included are 3 different exit tickets to assess student understanding. Use different versions on the same day, on subsequent days or as warm ups.
Answer keys for all are also included.
