Ordering Integers, Absolute Value, and Opposites Self Checking Puzzles

(0)
Great for Stations or a Class Wide "Scoot" with Partners! These puzzles are easy to set up and self checking! To set them up just print (two sided), cut them out, and paperclip the sets together or sort into small baggies. Then students can organize them in order from least to greatest. If they think they are in the right order they flip them over and look for the message on the back. If the message makes sense, then they have them in the right order. If not, they should flip them over and try again. A student recording sheet and key is also included!

Adding Integers Magic Puzzle Boards

(0)
A fun game for students to practice adding integers with like or unlike signs.. Students place each puzzle piece so that each value is connected to an equivalent value. Pairs of equivalent values should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Adding integers with like signs Level 2: Adding integers with "unlike" signs Two Puzzle Frame Options -Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. -Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for group or 15-20 minute stations.

Divisibility Game "Ninja Escape"

(0)
This game allows students to use their understanding of divisibility to practice determining if numbers are divisible by divisors such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. This practice is helpful as students learn to simplify fractions by looking for common factors, which is directly connected to divisibility.

-Equivalent Fractions- A fun game for students to practice finding equivalent fractions. Students place each puzzle piece so that each fraction is connected to an equivalent fraction. Pairs of equivalent fractions should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Simplest form and Equivalent Fraction Level 2: Equivalent Fractions without Simplest Form. Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work.

Volume of Rectangular Prisms Ninja Escape Maze!

(0)
These mazes are easy to set up and easy to use while providing practice for the skill of finding volume for rectangular prisms. Students are able to see that a particular volume can be reached by a variety of factors that equal the same product. This helps students identify commutativity with the factors. There are 4 game boards included. You can: Print each puzzle board, then laminate and let students use the tiger pieces to mark the correct spaces and the x’s for spaces that do not equal the target number. Or Print as worksheets on a full or half page and let students write directly on them.

Divisibility Lesson Plan with Materials and Student Foldable

Divisibility Lesson Plan with Materials and Student Foldable

(0)
This lesson plan helps students develop a conceptual awareness of divisibility through exploration. Students test a variety of numbers for divisibility (I prefer to let them use calculators for increased reliability) and then look for patterns to develop divisibility rules. Relationships between factors and divisibility become evident as students notice that they can use their understanding of factors to predict what a number may be divisible by. Materials for the lesson include posters for students to write on as they do the activity and number cards to test. The graphic organizer included can be printed in multiple formats so that you can choose how much information you want students to write, vs. what you want to provide for them.

An Activity to help students practice the skill: Finding Fractional Parts of a Number! Game Play requires students to determine the highest or lowest value when comparing fractions of a number. Includes: 48 Game Cards & Directions. Players each get an equal amount of cards. Then, each turns over a card. Example: 1/2 of 28 vs. 2/3 of 18 Then they compare the values of both cards. 1/2 of 28 = 14 vs. 2/3 of 18 =12 The person with the highest value on their card gets to keep both cards. The object is to be the person with the greatest number of cards at the end of the game.
