Knowing every detail on your calculator and how it works, is the BEST feeling... as you do not have to interrupt your teacher a hundred times for help!

Independent work by students – no prep needed by teacher. Just print a copy of the tutorial and task for each student and watch them learn how to use their calculators well.

This Exponents and Roots task (with complete Key) gives students practice to become fluent using their calculator. The task concisely reviews the steps contained in the Exponents and Roots Tutorial. It should be used in conjunction with the Exponents and Roots Tutorial. The aim of both the Tutorial and the Task is to assist students to independently become 100% comfortable with their calculator. The aim of the task is DIY for students.

The task can be used as teacher assessment, peer assessment or self assessment at the end of a fractions and decimals unit of work.

This calculator tutorial and task series addresses the challenge of a classroom full of students who have a variety of different calculators. The series contains eight of the most popular calculators used in US Middle Schools. So, be sure to get the whole series if this is your class situation!

TI-30Xa, TI-30XIIS, TI-30XS Multiview, TI 34 Multiview, TI-36X Pro, Casio fx-300ES Plus, Casio fx-300MS Plus, Casio fx-300MS

Square root, Square, Cube Root, Cube, Powers of 2, Powers of 3, Exponents, Raising numbers to powers, raising numbers to exponents, Taking the roots of whole numbers, Assessment, Teacher Assessment, Formative Assessment, Summative Assessment, Peer Assessment, Self Assessment

When should students use a calculator in mathematics? When fluency with mathematical procedures without the help of a calculator are well established, students should be able to use calculators with more complex mathematical problems, real-life applications and calculations involving very large and small numbers.

Also, take a look at the Tutorial of this same calculator, on the same topic, and get the two together. You will find it here:

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

This scavenger hunt has 20 adding and subtracting square roots (radicals) questions. Some radicals will require simplification first.

• Print off the twenty question pages and put them up around the room

• Each question is in the middle of the page and the solution is at the top of another page.

• A student begins on a given question, solves it and finds the answer on another sheet. The question on this sheet will be the next question they answer. Once they have answered all twenty, they will return to their starting question

• Depending on numbers, students can all start on different questions

• There is a student answer sheet included plus the correct sequence

Grade 7 math covers some introductory concepts such as algebra, fractions, decimals, percentages, integers, angles, equations, and introduction to probability. These concepts are in fact the basics of all math concepts that they are going to learn in their future years. Gaining a deep understanding of these concepts builds a very strong foundation for their math knowledge. Thus, it is important to have the entire year 7 math curriculum in hand.

Algebra is introduced in Grade 7 where the child starts to see variables and use them to represent different scenarios of real life. Also, they are made to solve simple equations in algebra with a few steps.

The Grade 7 math is aligned with the following concepts:

· Numbers and Fractions

· Lines and Angles

· Ratios and Percentages

· Triangles and Quadrilaterals

· Areas and Perimeters of 2D shapes

· Expressions and Simple Equations

50 intriguing math puzzles are included in this printable worksheet, along with their answers. The activities will help your Grade 7 students practice math in a fun way.
