Less than $5 7th Grade Other (Math) Flash Cards

I use this 24-card J'ai... Qui a? Game after my students have become familiar with the terms "paire ordonnée" and "quadrants." If your students are not yet familiar with ordered pairs in 4 quadrants and are still focusing on a single quadrant, I've got that, here. Your students will always want to be familiar with the formatting of an ordered pair - using parentheses and a comma to separate the two numbers), and you'll want to practice saying these out loud (i.e. "Cinq à trois" - (5,3) ; "Moins dix à six" - (-10, 6)) before jumping into this game.

If you're unfamiliar, "J'ai... Qui a?" games are whole group activities which reinforce their ability to read and say what's on the cards. This is a great revision activity prior to assessment and I currently use it with my 6th graders; but it could easily be utilized in grade 7 as a warm-up, or as a reach-back activity.

In this 8-page document, you will find:

• Explanation of the game and how to get started with examples (and a trick about how I pre-assess their understanding independently).
• 24 pre-created cards with mini cartesian planes covering the four quadrants.
• 1 page with blank card templates to create your own if you've got more than 24 students in your room.

I print this document single-sided on 8.5" x 11" paper, cut them out, and laminate them to use year after year. There are 4 to a sheet.

If you're looking to use games in your teaching, this game is included in my J'ai... Qui a? Bundle which you can find here.

This ressource contains 52 cards and has enough material for 13 rounds if you play it like a classic game of Memory. Each round has:

• a percentage card,
• a fraction card,
• a decimal card and
• an image card.

There are so many ways your students can benefit from playing with these cards! Here are some ways I've used them in my own classroom.

• Print and cut all cards and make as many copies as you'll need for the number of groups/teams you'll be creating. Have your students work in groups of 3-6 playing a classic game of "Memory" where they'll need to find the pairs.
• Using just one form (drawing, percentage, or decimal number), pass them out to your students and have them get in line from least to greatest, or from greatest to least without talking!
• Using only two forms, pass out one card to each student. You'll only want to do this activity if you have an even number of students. Have your students try to find their "matching partner."
• Have your students play a game of "Headbanz" by holding their card up to their forehead without seeing it. They'll have to ask their partner questions to narrow down what's on their head! They might ask questions like "Am I a percentage? Am I a decimal number? Am I a fraction? Am I bigger than a half? Am I smaller than a half?" etc.
• I've also passed out 2 random cards to each student and have had them create a written math problem using what they got on their card, and then passing it to a friend to solve.
• You can also place one form for each time around your classroom on the walls and distribute the rest to your students. Have them run around the class finding their corresponding equivalent.

Whichever way you choose to use these cards, I keep them on hand for months while we work through decimals, fractions, percentages and place value. They're an "on-the-fly" activity for me - and I often leave it for substitute teachers as well.

Don't forget to have fun!
