Teaching your students how to multiply 1-digit and 2-digit fractions through puzzles is a fun and engaging way for them to practice their math skills. Puzzles challenge students to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills while reinforcing important mathematical concepts. By incorporating puzzles into the classroom, you can make learning more interactive and enjoyable for your students. This method also allows for hands-on learning as students physically manipulate pieces to find the correct answers. Additionally, puzzles provide immediate feedback, allowing students to self-assess their understanding of the material. Overall, using puzzles to teach multiplying fractions not only helps students grasp the concept more effectively but also makes learning fun and enjoyable.

THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:

🟢 Puzzle #1: Multiplying 1 Digit & 2 Digit Fractions

🟢 Puzzle #2: Multiplying 2 Digit Fractions

OBJECTIVES:

The learner will multiply two fractions together by multiplying the numerators and denominators. The learner will simplify the answer to multiplication.

  Ideal for middle and high school math classes, this activity brings problem-solving to life while reinforcing essential algebra skills!

These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise compound and reverse percentages including increasing and decreasing, and compound interest and depreciation.

Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer. Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder.

A calculator is recommended for the final 15 questions at least.

Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:

• Have students race to connect the cards.
• Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
• Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
• Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.

For an advanced start, begin on page two of the record sheet (the first card number is given).

This is the US version with $ (dollars). Click here for our UK version with £ (pounds). If you require a different currency, contact us at contact@littlestreams.co.uk

"The Answers Are..." is a great Non-Curricular Thinking Task your math students can all access, no matter their skill level. Each task card gives a number bank and 5 target answers your students must create. Using each number in the bank only one time each, students work in teams of three to create all 5 expressions by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It's more challenging than you might think!

If you are implementing Building Thinking Classrooms this year, "The Answers Are..." is a great thinking task to do with your students at your Vertical Whiteboard stations during the first week of school. Once they solve one of the puzzles, they will keep coming back for more.

This FREE lesson includes the following:

• 10 Different Task Cards using only Whole Numbers
• Solutions for each Task Card
• Complete lesson instructions and pacing
• A Free Canva Template to create your own Task Cards

I created this FREE lesson so any math teacher using BTC can have access to a quick lesson plan for one of the first few days of school. Get your students out of their seats, standing at their whiteboards, and thinking deeply about math.

This is a real-life lesson that encourages students to evaluate taxable income based on one's income and the marginal tax bracket. Kids will love this and have a great time discussing the occupations and how much each is taxed. This lesson does not go as far as to discuss personal deductions and standard deductions, which would lower your taxable income. That is for another day. This is a simple introduction to how Federal taxes are collected.

Focuses on taxable Income, understanding taxes, calculating taxes

Easel Activity Included

OBJECTIVE

• The learner will be able to calculate taxable income based on tax brackets based on percentages.
• The learner will understand the purpose of taxation and the difference between state and federal tax.

MATERIALS

• Occupation Game Cards (1 set of 24 per group) and
• Chart (1 per student)
• Game Instructions

PREPARATION

o Set up the classroom desks or tables so that students are sitting in groups of two or three.

INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)

Ask students:

Available with purchase

GAME INSTRUCTIONS

Divide students into groups of two or three. Each group will receive a set of Occupation Game Cards. It is suggested that you laminate the cards, cut them, and place them in zip-lock bags so they can be used every year.

Students will be directed to place all cards face down. Distribute the Marginal Tax Bracket Chart.

Students within the group will take turns turning over an Occupation Game Card. Each will write the occupation, taxable income, and income tax percent using the Marginal Tax Bracket Chart provided on each student’s activity sheet (see below). Students will work together to calculate the income tax and lifetime total.

Alternative: you may have students compete against those within their team as another way to play, rather than having one group compete against the other groups in the class. Whatever works best for your students and classroom environment is the best route to take.

The goal is to reach a lifetime total of 100,000 taxable incomes to win. This will require multiple games, or to make it more challenging, raise the Lifetime taxable income goal to 150,000 or 200,000, which will make the game run longer.

Students can create charts on notebook paper for additional games.

Once they reach the lifetime goal, they win that round. Then have them play again.
