MULTIPLYING DECIMALS HALLOWEEN COLOR BY NUMBER "Day of the Dead Skull" math coloring page is great for decimals practice!

This product comes with:

1 math coloring worksheet

1 answer key

Are you looking for a fun way to practice multiplication, subtraction, and addition with decimals? Then look no further! This is an engaging activity for all students. This is a fun math project to practice multiplication with decimals. Students will get to put their math skills into practice in a real life situation. They will create a mock cotton candy stand where they will have to be in charge of buying their product, figuring out how much each customer owes, and how much they will profit. This activity lets each student set up their own cotton candy stand, so all their answers may differ. At the end of the activity students will determine if their cotton candy stand was successful, whether they made a big enough profit to do it again.

This activity has students practice multiplying, dividing, and subtracting numbers with decimals.

What's included:

• A letter to the teacher explaining the task.
• A letter to the students (business owner) explaining their task.
• A page for students to create their own sign for their shop.
• The product page, where students will pick what products they will buy.
• Hourly sales page (There are two options) One will break it down for each step and there is another page that is more challenging for your higher math students to stretch their thinking and not lay out each step explicitly.
• A total sales sheet with reflection questions.
• A social media post for students to create.

The best part? Students have autonomy over their own cotton candy stand. Let them have the reins of their learning. It allows for math practice and a little creativity.

Get creative in the classroom and have your students apply real world math. Show them where they might use multiplication, addition, and subtraction of decimals. Get rid of the boring old math worksheets and let your students create their own little business.

What other teachers are saying:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Anaida W. says, "Fantastic math project! Engaging and full of great questions for students. Thanks."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐Just Another Smith says, "Oh my! I love this activity! It was perfect for basic arithmetic reinforcement for my students. I loved that the activity has a mix of fixed tasks but also some open ended elements so that the students had some choice and creativity. I really enjoy giving my students real-world tasks and felt like this was right at their level. The instructions were clear and there were also some choices for me with built in differentiation."

These are ready to use, just print them out and get started. This could be a great lesson to leave for a substitute as it is no prep!

Double Bubble Car Wash: Intro. to Problem Solving through Depth and Complexity

The beginning of the year problem-solving activity is designed to engage your students with mathematical reasoning and critical thinking.

Part1:

Open-ended problem with no correct answer as long as students are able to prove their solution with mathematical evidence.

Part II:

Four unique extensions of the original problem using depth and complexity icons.

Can be used with multiple grade levels depending on their multiplication readiness. Originally designed for gifted 5th-grade students.

Solution: While it is likely not possible for a single-lane, single-franchise car wash to produce millions of satisfied customers each year, multiple-lane, multiple-franchise car washes could certainly support their claim.

Disclaimer:

One purchase is for the use of one teacher. If additional teachers would like to use this product, please purchase additional licenses.

In this activity, students will have 15 problems with integer answers. They will practice solely one-step addition and subtraction questions, with varying set-ups and variables. There is room to show work!

This is a great resource for independent practice, catch-up, or to assign with a substitute.

Please check the preview to see ALL 15 questions so you can determine the suitability for your classroom!

Enjoy this resource!

These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice finding the long multiplication, short division (bus stop method) and long division with differentiation built in. Players choose whether they want to choose an easier question (red), but will receive less points for their correct answer, or risk a more challenging question (green) and gain greater rewards.

The red cards consist of questions involving multiplying two and three digit numbers by a one digit number, and using the bus stop method of division. The Yellow Cards of questions which include multiplying a two digit number by a two digit number, and harder division questions including involving decimals. The Green Card consists of multiplying and dividing by decimal numbers and the need to use long division.

Begin by laying all the cards out face down (so you see only the number of points they are worth). Players take turns to select a card, either red, yellow or green. The difficulty of the question will increase. They may also pick up either steal, giving them a chance to steal from any other player, shield, which protects them from the next KaBoom, and KaBoom cards which means you lose all your collected points so far.

Play as a whole class in teams, or print multiple copies as play around the table. If students get the answer incorrect, or they need some help, use your judgement as to whether you will allow them another guess or not. Questions answered incorrectly go in the ‘house’ pile, along with any cards lost in a KaBoom. At the end of the game, add up the ‘house’ pile. The winner is the player or team with the highest points (including any shield cards that have been unused). The house can win.

Included are two copies of the game; one designed for a duouble sided printer and one designed for single sided printing where you need to turn over the pages yourself to print double sided.

Full instructions are included as are answers.

"The Answers Are..." is a great Non-Curricular Thinking Task your math students can all access, no matter their skill level. Each task card gives a number bank and 5 target answers your students must create. Using each number in the bank only one time each, students work in teams of three to create all 5 expressions by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It's more challenging than you might think!
