6th Grade Order of Operations Activities (by date, oldest first)

It's time for your child/students to start learning their multiplication facts. The Multiplication Study Booklets are a great collection of booklets that students can create and use nightly to study their facts.

Parents and students will love this handy guide for independent or partner practice. Students can individualize their booklets and use the different strategies to understand the concept. Also, a great set to use at a Math Workstation for students to practice and quiz one another.

Multiplications Study Booklets include:

Complete set of templates to create each booklet 1's-12's. Each booklet contains 8 pages.

1. Cover

2. Study My Facts Page

3. Flash It- Flash Card Pocket and set of flashcards

4. Repeat It- Repeat addition

5. Group it- Equal Grouping

6. Arrays- Array strategy

7. Practice it- Page

8. Sing It

After students put together their booklets they can fill it out with all the different strategies. Pack it in their folder, and students have a nightly study guide. Each booklet comes with a flashcard pocket and complete set of flashcards. Templates in black and white.

Each booklet requires two pieces of construction paper and glue.

Studying Multiplication Facts should be fun and meaningful. The Multiplication Booklet set brings both of these elements into play.

LESSON: ONE_STEP EQUATIONS PUZZLE GAME

GRADE LEVEL: MIDDLE SCHOOL

TIME FRAME: 1 HOUR

OBJECTIVE:

o The learner will work to solve one-step equations with rational numbers.

o The learner will solve equations that include decimals fractions, to solve for x.

MATERIALS:

o Scissors

o Zip lock bags

o Construction paper and glue

o Optional: lamination for storage and reuse. If you choose this, construction paper and glue will not be needed, as they will not glue the pieces to construction paper.

o Print out of puzzle for the instructor as an answer sheet.

PREPARATION:

Students will be working in pairs to complete the equations puzzle, which requires students to solve one-step equations with rational number. Place students in teams of two. Duplicate enough copies for each team to have one puzzle. Cut out the puzzle pieces and place them into a Ziplock bag.

Optional: You may laminate the puzzle pieces for reuse if you choose to keep the pieces to use one year to the next. However, you will not need construction paper and glue if lamination is chosen.

INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)

Ask students what constitutes an equation.

Answer: An equation says that two things are equal, and may contain two or more

variables.

Ask students what constitute a rational number.

Answer: A number that you can put into fraction such a decimal, fraction, percent or

whole number.

Review how to work through a one-step equation using the following equations:

• 5x=80 Answer (16)

• x+-20=17 Answer: (37)

• x-(-10)=-10 Answer: (-20)

• x-4 1/3=2 2/3 Answer: (7)

HELPFUL VIDEO: (10 minutes)

Helpful Youtube video links included.

TEAM ACTIVITY: (30 minutes)

Provide each team with a puzzle in a Ziplock bag. Provide students 15-30 minutes to solve the equations and place the puzzle together. You may even encourage a competition to see which groups can complete the puzzle first providing prizes to first place, second place, and third place. Once they have the puzzle completed, have them glue it to a piece of construction paper if you have not chosen to laminate the game pieces for reuse.

CLOSURE / EVALUATION: (20 minutes)

Using an overhead projector or smart board projector that will display the puzzle pieces, work with the class to solve the puzzle. Students will check their answers.

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY/HOMEWORK

Give students a blank chart and allow them to create a puzzle for that they can give to another group/student to complete. Make sure the student keeps a copy of the puzzle to act as the answer sheet.

TEACHER’S ANSWER SHEET

Each puzzle has the answers in itself before being cut into puzzle pieces. The equations on the outer edges of the puzzle will not have answers to match. This makes the puzzle more challenging

Practice ORDER OF OPERATIONS with this engaging, independent activity! Perfect for Valentine's Day!

Directions for Use:

*Students will be given the ORDER OF OPERATIONS page along with the Heart Page. These may be printed front to back if you choose.

*Students will answer the first question on their order of operations page. This will lead them to one of the dots on their heart page. They will make a straight line from the dot next to the answer for #1 to the dot that is next the answer to #2 (then from #2 to #3). They will start a new sequence of lines for each set.

*I recommend reading aloud the directions on the paper but also reiterate what was stated above so students truly understand the process of this activity.

Do your students need practice determining equivalent expressions with exponents, the commutative property, the distributive property, and more with just numbers and with variables? This activity is great for independent practice or group work! There is one page with just numbers and one page with variables.

In each row, there are 3 equivalent expressions and one that is not equivalent. Find the odd one out. Answer Key included. Perfect for a substitute day!

Includes exponents but no negatives.

This would unfortunately not work with the "Which One Doesn't Belong" routine because for these, there is one correct answer for each set of expressions.

Page 2 has expressions with variables that make use of the distributive, commutative, and associative properties and simple exponent rules.

Includes a card sort illustrating the properties of operations and a printout activity where students determine which expression is not equivalent.

The bonus file is notes that follow the concrete representational abstract progression to help students develop a better understanding of the properties of operations.

Great for an introduction to equivalent expressions and using variables to represent unknown values in 6th grade.

Equations With Variables on Both Sides Color By Number Student Activity

Students solve equations with variables on both sides and get instant feedback!

If the answer is correct, it will be on the coloring page. If not, they know to go back and make corrections!

Even older students love to color, so make it a meaningful activity!

Great for review, skill practice, and test prep!
