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.

Free System of Equations Domino Set of 8

(2)
Playing games in the classroom is always so much fun, especially when it forces students to practice important solving skills. This set has systems of linear equations which the students will need to solve to match with the solution given. This domino set contains 8 rectangular dominoes. Students work in pairs to cut them apart, turn face down and mix up and then each draw 4 dominoes. The students with "start" goes first and puts down his domino, then whoever has the solution for that domino places the next, until one student is out of dominoes and is declared the winner. Answer Key is included showing the correct order of the dominoes.

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.
