First Day of School Math Talk Activity
By Language Arts Excellence
Now with digital worksheet to support distance learning!
This product features an engaging back to school Math Talk activity that will have your new students thinking, writing, speaking, and moving on the very first day of school. In this activity, they must choose between 6 different quotes about math from famous figures like Albert Einstein and James Newman and articulate why the quote aligns with their own perspective. Use this lesson every year to set the tone for what you expect in class; it is a great way to gain insight about your students' current attitudes toward math while getting to know one another with a higher level thinking activity. We have also recently added a digital version of the "Math Talk" worksheet to support distance learning and cut down on paper.
Product includes:
Though this lesson plan is ideal for the first day of school, it can be used all year long without modification.

Let your fifth graders practice Greatest Common Factor while having fun with this engaging, no-prep, digital Halloween-themed activity. I used it as a sub-plan in sixth grade and the kids liked it.
Each slide contains two numbers (less than 100) and the students need to find GCF. As they correctly answer the questions a mystery picture will be revealed.
You can use it for sub-plans, enrichment/reinforcement, early finishers, extra-practice and spiral review.
For PowerPoint or Google Slides.
It works only in presentation mode.
Suitable for IB MYP Middle years Programme.
