5th Grade Algebra Review Game - Game Show Style

By The M-Intercept

Students will love this Jeopardy-like review game to review all 5th Grade Operations and Algebraic Thinking standards. Questions focus on solving expressions, writing expressions, equivalent expressions, analyzing patterns, mixed review, and key vocabulary words. Points range from 100 - 500, which reflect the increase in difficulty throughout each category.

**FULLY EDITABLE** While the game is complete, it is also editable in PowerPoint, making it easy to add questions or change the level of difficulty based on your students' needs.

The game includes 30 high quality questions - 6 categories with 5 questions each ranging in
difficulty from basic review (100) to challenging (500)

Solve Expressions: these questions require students to solve equations using the order of operations. All expressions are straightforward whole numbers, except the 500 point question, which has fractions.

Write Expressions: this category asks students to write expressions from phrases such as "nine more than six" and then increases in difficulty to writing an expression to match a real-world problem.

Equivalent Expressions: students are asked about whether or not expressions are equivalent based on the order of operations, use of parentheses and different ways to display division symbols.

Analyze Patterns: these questions involve continuing a pattern such as "add 8" and continue on to questions matching real-world situations. Some questions require reading and/or using a table or the coordinate plane.

Mixed Review: students are asked computation problems to review adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, as well as questions involving place value.

Vocabulary: this section asks about parentheses, expressions, evaluating, x and y coordinates, and corresponding terms.

30 Days of STEM | STEAM Silly Building Challenges SET 1

By Teaching Dinos

Kids will LOVE this pack of 30 Days of Silly STEM Building Challenge Task Cards based on silly stories! There is a printable PDF, as well as Google Slides perfect for distance learning and back to school. Pair these problem solving cards with the STEAM / STEM activities and use them in a variety of ways. Use them in Makerspaces, morning tubs or centers, as an activity for early finishers, or rewards for a great day!

**Perfect for classrooms, distance learning, homeschool, and even parents just looking for a fun, adventure filled activity for their children.**

⭐ This is Set #1. You can purchase the Bundle of 90 days, all 3 available sets, for 20% off here: BUNDLE of 90 Days STEAM | STEM Silly Challenge Task Cards Distance Learning

Distance Learning Compatible: This product can be downloaded as a printable PDF or copied into Google Slides. This will allow you to send the product to your students as an editable document. Download as a PowerPoint to upload to Microsoft Teams.

What’s included in the 21 page PDF download, as well as the 38 Google Slides:

PDF

  • 7 pages of 30 unique full color challenge task cards
  • 2 STEAM / STEM worksheets in full color for early and upper elementary
  • Instructions Page
  • Terms of Use
  • Black and white copies of the instructions, task cards, and STEM / STEAM printables

Google Slides

  • 30 Individual Google Slides for each daily challenge
  • 5 STEM / STEAM slides for discussion, with space to type in responses to the questions
  • Instructions
  • Terms of Use

************************************************************

How can you use these task cards?

  • Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, or available for early finishers to complete using ANY available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them!

  • Use one card a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet or discuss and use the Google Slides as a class.

  • Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards. They can practice speaking and listening skills, using loud and clear voices, and giving full attention to the speaker. Encourage students to ask questions to their classmates.

  • Ideally the goal is to do one challenge a day, but you could certainly allow students to do more than one.

**********************************************************

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but also that force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when building these challenges.

Most building challenge task cards are independent from each other. “Build a boat,” or “build an airplane,” are common themes among the cards. While those are fantastic, and we have done many of them ourselves, I wanted to do something different and more cohesive and engaging for kids.

The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**

**This is not an editable document.**

Introduction to William Shakespeare | Handouts and Worksheets on Shakespeare, the Globe Theater, and More | The ULTIMATE Pre-Reading Bundle for ANY Play!

By Rigorous Resources for High School English

Teaching a play by William Shakespeare? Want to provide students with a fascinating overview of the author's life, the construction of the Globe Theater, the language of early-modern English, the rhythm of iambic pentameter, and more? This 50-page EDITABLE resource has EVERYTHING you could possibly want to introduce ANY play by William Shakespeare....

This comprehensive bundle includes a Biography of the Bard, an account of the construction of the Globe Theater, handouts and exercises to help students understand Shakespeare's language, a Shakespearean insult generator, worksheets and quizzes introducing students to iambic pentameter, and more.

Here's what you'll find inside this 50-page resource bundle:

William Shakespeare Biography: This 4-page biography of William Shakespeare explains the conditions of his early life and schooling in Stratford-upon-Avon, how he became involved in the London theater scene, the impact which the death of his son Hamnet had upon his writing career, his gradual transition from comedies to tragedies, and more. Includes a comprehension check with answer key. (5 pages)

The Globe Theater: A 2-page handout on what inspired Shakespeare's acting company to build the Globe Theater. A dispute with the landlord of their old theater motivated Shakespeare's company to meet with lanterns in the middle of the night, disassemble their old playhouse, and transport the timber across the Thames River to the plot of land where they would build the Globe. How did the construction of the Globe infuse new life into Shakespeare's company? How would Shakespeare make reference to the Globe in plays written after its construction in 1599? Includes a comprehension check with answer key. (4 pages)

Shakespeare's Language: A 3-page handout on the crucial topic of Shakespeare's language. Literary scholars have pointed out that "the life of Shakespeare's plays is in the language." What's so special about Shakespeare's language? Did he really invent 1,700 new words? What kinds of words did he invent, and how do they contribute to the meaning of his plays? Includes a comprehension check with answer key. (5 pages)

Renaissance Glossary: This 2-page glossary features 50 words that appear frequently within Shakespeare's plays but are no longer used in modern-day speech: adieu, beseech, ere, fain, naught, prithee, troth, wot, etc. Familiarizing students with this words will make their reading experience much smoother! This glossary includes a definition for each word as well as an example of how it's used in Shakespeare's plays. (2 pages)

Translation Practice: This 2-page worksheet features 20 brief quotations from a diverse range of Shakespeare's plays. Challenge students to translate each quotation into modern English. This exercise gives students a change to demonstrate their understanding of the words in the Renaissance Glossary. Includes answer key. (4 pages)

Decode the Idiom: This 1-page worksheet features 12 quotations that feature idioms which Shakespeare invented: wear my heart on my sleeve, all that glitters is not gold, I have a charmed life, as good luck would have it, and more. Challenge students to identify the idiom by filling in the word missing from the quotation. Then have students explain the meaning of the idiom. Includes answer key. (2 pages)

Blank Verse: A 2-page handout on the when and why Shakespeare employs blank verse (i.e. unrhymed iambic pentameter). This handout explains how blank verse emerged as a popular verse form as well as what distinguished Shakespeare's usage of blank verse. When and why do some of Shakespeare's characters break with the regular rhythms of blank verse? Why might some characters alternate between using verse and prose? (2 pages)

Scansion Practice: Students learn to identify iambic pentameter by scanning 10 well-known quotations from Shakespeare's plays. Includes answer key. (4 pages)

Quizzes on Meter (x2): The 2 quizzes on meter are designed to asses whether students are able to accurately scan Shakespearean lines. Each quiz features 10 quotations from Shakespeare's plays. Includes answer keys. (8 pages)

Shakespearean Insult Generator: Shakespeare's characters are exceptionally creative in their elaboration of insults. Indeed, some scholars have suggested that the insults in Shakespeare's plays amount to their own education in wit. If your students are sufficiently mature, you could use this exercise to invite them to generate their own original Shakespearean insults. (2 pages)

The resource will download as a Zip folder which contains the entire 50-page unit in two separate formats: Word Doc *and* PDF. Because the Word Doc is fully EDITABLE, you'll be able to customize it to match your teaching style and/or the skill levels of your students — year after year! If you don't have Microsoft Word, you'll still be able to access a PDF version of the full unit — which is easy to navigate and quick to print!

If you have questions about ANYTHING related to Shakespeare, please don't hesitate to get in touch! This unit was designed by a Ph.D. in English who has devoted over 20 years to studying Shakespeare — and who currently teaches a course called "Shakespeare's Masterpieces." I LOVE hearing from fellow teachers who share a passion for great literature. Wishing you an amazing experience with the Swan of Avon!

Happy teaching!

Comparing Linear Functions BTC Thin Slicing Group Activity | Grade 8 Math

By EZMath

This "Thin Slicing" activity on comparing linear functions gets your 8th grade students thinking about linear functions. These progressively challenging task cards start students with simple proportional relationships and progress up to writing a linear function from only two ordered pairs, graphs with differently scaled axes, and tables with minimal information. Students must work together to compare rates of change and initial values for multiple functions, including tables, graphs, equations, and scenarios.

Great as a review activity, or as an introduction to comparing linear functions after your students have learned slope-intercept form.

This lesson with printable task cards uses Building Thinking Classrooms strategies for teaching math created by Peter Liljedahl. If you have been looking to implement the Building Thinking Classrooms model of instruction, but don't know where to start, this is a great resource for you.

This lesson includes the following materials:

  • Complete lesson instructions for how I run this activity in my own classroom.
  • 8 Full-Size Task Cards on comparing linear functions.
  • Answers for all Task Cards.

If you enjoy this product, please leave a review and check out my other products. I will be adding more Thin Slicing lessons in the future based on this model.

If you would like to know more about how I use Building Thinking Classrooms in my own class, check out my blog. I am also creating and refining more thin slicing lessons, so follow my store or check back regularly to see what's new.

Present Tense Spanish Story Worksheets | Hansel y Gretel

By Senorita Creativa

Do your students struggle with the conjugating verbs in the present tense? Then this amazing fairy tale activity is just what you've been looking for! This awesome resource with the classic story of Hansel y Gretel is an easy-to-use and low-prep way to practice the present tense, along with reading comprehension skills.

Students love these stories because they are stories that they are already familiar with, making them more comprehensible, turning this dry and boring grammar topic into something engaging and fun!

The familiar story of Hansel and Gretel is a perfect way to practice and assess your students’ knowledge of the present tense in Spanish with easy differentiation.

This file includes two versions of the same story:

  • Version A has the verbs already conjugated, and the students must choose between two different forms of the verb.
  • Version A also includes true/false comprehension questions and students must correct the false statements.
  • Version B includes only the infinitive, so they must fill in the blank with the correct present tense form of the verb.
  • Version B also includes comprehension questions to be answered in complete sentences in Spanish.

Each version of the story is two pages long, with a separate page of comprehension questions. The stories include regular verbs, stem-changing verbs, reflexive verbs (llamarse, despertarse, perderse, and morirse) and irregular verbs (ser, estar, tener, “yo-go” verbs, etc). The two different versions make differentiation simple!

Also included in this download is:

  • a mini pictorial vocabulary list in color and black and white
  • a ten-slide mini-PowerPoint (great for pre-teaching key vocabulary)
  • a blank six-box storyboard (great for students to illustrate their comprehension of the story or summarize the story in six parts)
  • answer keys for the stories AND the comprehension questions
  • a teacher tips page

All of these great resources are included as a zipped file. Make sure to download the preview to see everything included!

The stories include regular verbs, stem-changing verbs, reflexive verbs (olvidarse, dormirse, despertarse, and enamorarse) and irregular verbs (ir, ser, estar, tener, “yo-go” verbs, etc).

This story would make a great emergency sub plan (2 days’ worth of material), homework assignment, or formative assessment. These stories are great for the end of Spanish 1 or as a review of the present tense in Spanish 2. © 2018-2019 Rachel Bailey (La Señorita Creativa®) All Rights Reserved
