Each student chooses a different pair of numbers (they range from 8&4 to 80&4 so students can choose an appropriate challenge), make up a corresponding word problem for multiplication and one for division using their two numbers, answers the question using a representation and explain how they did it. A rubric (out of 4) is included.

Lots of Differentiation with

- Choice of problems ranging from easier to very challenging

- Reference sheets to support students in the more challenging aspects

- Additional number choices for students who need a modified curriculum or extra challenge

Note: Some of the preview pictures are of my other product which is almost the same but with fractions. If you see fractions in the preview pictures, don't worry there are no fractions in this project.

Each student chooses a different pair of numbers (one fraction, one whole or mixed), make up a corresponding word problem for multiplication and one for division using their two numbers, answers the question using a representation, and checks their answer using keep-change-flip. An MYP Communication rubric (out of 8) and a 100 point rubric are both included so you can choose.

Lots of Differentiation with

- Choice of problems ranging from easier to very challenging

- Reference sheets to support students in the more challenging aspects

- Additional number choices for students who need a modified curriculum

- Option to do it as a partner project or individually

This was originally created for MYP Criterion C (communication) but can be used in any 5th or 6th grade class. I included a rubric that adds up to 100 to accommodate other grading policies.

This is all of my fraction resources that I use with my 6th graders.

This is a simple project, but it adds in real life scenario of what the cost is going out to eat. Students end up shocked at the cost of going out to eat! The students pick out a restaurant of their choice (can download the menu offline), "go out to eat" with three other family members, order, determine cost, sales tax and tip for a total of going out to eat for 4 people. This could be a group project with four students going out to eat and seeing what the cost is for each. Either way, it shows their decimal skills with basic math operations and gives them a new appreciation of going out to eat!

This PreAlgebra Math Skills Escape Room is completely SELF CHECKING (and printable) and includes 40 questions to escape the school that was accidentally automatically locked! Students will complete 4 multiple choice questions (WITHOUT A CALCULATOR) in each of the 10 rooms covering math skills that are covered in Pre Algebra, including order of operations, linear equations, exponents, GCF, LCM, square roots, decimals, percentages & fractions, the coordinate plan, irregular shapes and simple proportions! After they solve the questions they will take their letter answer choice in order and write it under the locked door.

Before they can move to the next room they will go to the LOCK DECODER (Google Sheet) and put their code in. If the box turns green they can move to the next room. If the box turns red they must find their error and try again!

Their FINAL CHALLENGE will be to create their own multiple choice question per topic, which a template is provided for.

Why you need this:

- completely independent & self checking

- a story to keep your students intrigued

- will help your students with their basic math skills

- no calculator need (just print this packet)

Topics Included:

Room 1: The Library of ORDER OF OPERATIONS

Room 2: The LINEAR EQUATIONS Garden

Room 3: The EXPONENTS Chamber

Room 4: The GREATEST COMMON FACTOR Den

Room 5: The SQUARE ROOT Parlor

Room 6: The LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE Laboratory

Room 7: The DECIMALS, PERCENTAGES AND FRACTIONS Nook

In this Integer Operation Fall themed craft, students are going to practice all 4 integer operations. They will get 3 trees and 9 - 10 leaves with integer problems on them. They will get an addition tree, subtraction tree and multiplication/division tree. This would make such a cute bulletin board! You will need coloring utensils & scissors - minimal supplies!

Directions:

1. Solve the problems on the leaves

2. Write the answers on the line

3. Color the leaves and cut them out

4. Find the answer on the tree and paste the leaf on the tree

5. Create your own problems in the empty images

6. Explain in words how to add, subtract or multiply/divide integers

What you get:

• 1 Addition Tree
• 1 Subtraction Tree
• 1 Multiplication/Division Tree
• 3 pages of leaves with 28 total problems

Are you looking for a fun way to practice multiplication, subtraction, and addition with decimals? Then look no further! This is an engaging activity for all students. This is a fun math project to practice multiplication with decimals. Students will get to put their math skills into practice in a real life situation. They will create a mock cotton candy stand where they will have to be in charge of buying their product, figuring out how much each customer owes, and how much they will profit. This activity lets each student set up their own cotton candy stand, so all their answers may differ. At the end of the activity students will determine if their cotton candy stand was successful, whether they made a big enough profit to do it again.

This activity has students practice multiplying, dividing, and subtracting numbers with decimals.

What's included:

• A letter to the teacher explaining the task.
• A letter to the students (business owner) explaining their task.
• A page for students to create their own sign for their shop.
• The product page, where students will pick what products they will buy.
• Hourly sales page (There are two options) One will break it down for each step and there is another page that is more challenging for your higher math students to stretch their thinking and not lay out each step explicitly.
• A total sales sheet with reflection questions.
• A social media post for students to create.

The best part? Students have autonomy over their own cotton candy stand. Let them have the reins of their learning. It allows for math practice and a little creativity.

Get creative in the classroom and have your students apply real world math. Show them where they might use multiplication, addition, and subtraction of decimals. Get rid of the boring old math worksheets and let your students create their own little business.

What other teachers are saying:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Anaida W. says, "Fantastic math project! Engaging and full of great questions for students. Thanks."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐Just Another Smith says, "Oh my! I love this activity! It was perfect for basic arithmetic reinforcement for my students. I loved that the activity has a mix of fixed tasks but also some open ended elements so that the students had some choice and creativity. I really enjoy giving my students real-world tasks and felt like this was right at their level. The instructions were clear and there were also some choices for me with built in differentiation."

These are ready to use, just print them out and get started. This could be a great lesson to leave for a substitute as it is no prep!

This classroom tried and tested data and statistics activity helps students to see the benefit of gathering their own quantitative and qualitative data to make real-life choices. We have all wondered - which water container should I buy? Are the expensive water containers really that much better? Students compare 4 water containers quantitatively for how effectively they keep water warm and cold. They also compare them qualitatively, looking at price, durability, design and other subjective measures.

This resource works great as ...

• a task
• a class project (it takes roughly a week)
• distance learning
• math centers
• constructive group work when introducing the topic of data and statistics.

And, Now with the Olympic Games just gone by, you must get these other activities for Data and Stats as well!
