Less than $5 10th Grade Critical Thinking Resources (by date, latest first)

Cartoon scientists are bound to make you laugh! These 18 science posters for the classroom have 18 scientists with inspirational quotes.

I personally, hand these out to groups of students and have them discuss the meanings of the quotes. Then I would have one cut out the scientist and speech bubble and hang them in my science lab!

This is a great activity to do at the beginning of the school year!

The Math About Me Back to School Activity is a dynamic and versatile resource, ideal for the first week of math instruction and bulletin board displays. This engaging activity not only encourages students to think critically about math, but also fosters connections as they learn more about one another. Start the year with a fun and interactive way to blend math skills with community-building!

Resource Overview:

Students will answer each question about themselves. Each answer will have numerical value. Once students have answered each question, they will write an equation that corresponds to or equals their answer. For instance, if their favorite number is 7, they might write the equation 3+4=7 or 14÷2=7. You can give specific guidelines to your students about the equations based on their grade level/ability level. Four examples have been provided.

Key Features:

• Customizable for All Grades: You decide your equation guidelines to match your students' skill levels. Whether you're teaching elementary or middle school, you can set the guidelines that fit your classroom's needs.
• Critical Thinking: Encourage students to think critically and creatively as they formulate equations based on personal information. This activity promotes problem-solving skills and helps students apply math concepts in a meaningful way.
• Engaging & Interactive: Students will enjoy sharing about themselves while practicing their math skills. The activity fosters a positive classroom environment by allowing students to connect with each other through their personal experiences and math.
• Perfect for Back-to-School: Ideal for the first days of school, this resource helps build a sense of community in the classroom while reinforcing important math concepts.
