Less than $5 7th Grade Fractions Task Cards

These clip cards are a great way to test students’ knowledge of recognising fractions decimals and percentages using a physical multiple choice system. The given possible answers have been carefully chosen to allow teachers to spot any misconceptions students may have about fractions and their equivalence to decimals and percentages. The idea of this activity is that students clip a clothespin/peg or a paperclip to what they think is the correct answer. This activity works equally well when the cards are laminated. Students simply circle the correct answer using a dry erase marker. Alternatively, you can print these on paper, hand out to your class at the end of the lesson, so they can put their names on and circle the correct answer, serving as a great exit ticket/plenary to the lesson. These cards are in colour, but print equally well in grey scale for cost savings. To make them self marking, simply place a dot on the underside of the card pertaining to the correct answer.

Level Ups are a fun way to challenge your students to complete various levels of mastery on working with proportional relationships. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity provides 4 levels of challenge for your students to complete, starting with pre-requisite proportional relationship skills such as identifying when a relationship is or is not proportional all the way up to comparing units rate from different representations.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 3, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review comparing proportional relationships after teaching the concepts, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

• Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).
• Four levels with 4 - 6 questions each.
• Complete answer keys for each level.
