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).

Level Ups are a fun way to challenge your students to complete various levels of mastery on working with rational & irrational numbers. Aligned to the common core standards, Level Ups provide 5 levels of challenge for your students to complete, starting with pre-requisite fractions and square root skills all the way up to estimating non-perfect squares, solving multi-step equations involving squares and cubes, and writing repeating decimals as fractions.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, 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 rational & irrational numbers 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).
• Five levels with 8-10 questions each.
• Complete answer keys for each level.

This is a fun non curricular thinking task that goes beyond just asking students to convert rational numbers to other forms and put them in order. It provides students with an opportunity to think more deeply about the relative sizes of rational and irrational numbers and strategically choose which shapes to place where.

There are many valid approaches and answers to this task so it is a great way to start the year and build a thinking classroom.

This includes both a version made for 5th, 6th, or 7th grade with mixed numbers and decimal side lengths as well as a version for 8th/9th grade which includes square roots as well.

This pack contains 30 follow me cards and a record sheet for recording answers, with a space for workings out.

These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise arithmetic with fractions. 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.

Starting with addition of fractions with the same denominators, the questions quickly progress to addition and subtraction with di erent denominators, multiplication and division with fractions, including mixed numbers.

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.

Want to know if your 7th grade math students can calculate a unit rate and compare proportional relationships in the same and different representation?

This presentation includes 10 questions (23 slides total) that has students work in groups to determine which statement is true between two given proportional relationships. Which has the higher unit rate? Which has the lower unit rate? Which of the two representations is actually proportional? Teams must be able to work together to determine the answer, then back up their answers verbally.

Great as a review activity before an exam, or as a mid-unit formative assessment to track progress towards mastery.

This lesson also includes a quick paper/pencil exit ticket students can do individually so you can assess each students' mastery of proportional relationships, with answer key included.

Included in Activity:

- Link to Google Slide Deck for classroom presentation

- Complete directions for how I like to run the activity

- Printable student answer choice cards

- Printable student Exit Ticket

- Complete Exit Ticket answer key
