Students have fun revealing the picture created using correct answers. Students will troubleshoot incorrect answers and persevere in solving the problem correctly.

Self-checking as image is revealed by correct answers.

What's included:

• Google sheet of picture reveal.

How this product is useful:

• Engaging practice of rounding decimals.
• Good for practice or remediation.
• Students will troubleshoot and persevere in solving problems.
• Self-checking.
• Can be assigned in Google Classroom or through Google Drive.

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!

Calling all brave mathematicians!

Are your students ready for a spooky multiplication challenge? A mischievous ghost has locked them inside a haunted house, and the only way to escape before midnight is to solve a series of multiplication puzzles!

The Haunted House Multiplication Escape is a low-prep, high-engagement activity that aligns with CCSS.4.NBT.B.5.

What's Included?

• A Haunting Introduction.
• 6 Chilling Clues: including word problems, crossword puzzle and a mix of 2-digit, 3-digit, and 4-digit multiplication problems to test different skill levels.
• Escape Sheet: Students will collect "keys" (cutouts from the correct answer boxes on the clue sheets) and stick them onto the escape sheet throughout the challenge.
• Worksheet: Provide a space for students to show their work and calculations for each clue.
• Answer Key: Keep the game running smoothly.
• Winner's Circle! Celebrate the victorious team with fun certificates or props for a winning photo.

How to prep?

1. Gather Your Supplies: Print out the clue sheets, escape sheet, and worksheet (one copy per group). You'll also need scissors, tape, and a timer (optional: spooky music to set the mood).

2. Prepare the Haunted House: Hide the clue sheets around your classroom or designate specific locations for each clue (envelopes labeled with clue numbers are optional).

3. Assemble Your Teams: Divide your students into groups of 3-4 players.

Let the Escape Begin!

1. Time is Ticking! Set a timer for 40 minutes to create a sense of urgency and excitement.
2. Unlock the Clues: Each group starts at a designated clue (or envelope). Students work together to solve the multiplication challenge and find the answer.
3. Answer Check: Groups come to you to verify their answer using the answer key.
4. Key to Escape: If the answer is correct, students cut out the box at the top right corner of the clue sheet (the "key") then stick the "key" onto their escape sheet.
5. On to the Next Challenge: Once they have the "key," provide the next clue sheet (or envelope) for them to tackle.
6. Escape Achieved! The first group to finish all the clues and fill their escape sheet with "keys" wins the game!

These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice Order of Operations (BIDMAS, BODMAS, PEDMAS), 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 addition and subtraction with multiplication and division. It also includes questions such as 8-2+3 which tests student’s knowledge of the equal importance of addition and subtraction.

The Yellow Cards consist of questions involving brackets and some easy powers.

The Green Card consists of more challenging Order of Operations questions including more challenging powers combined with brackets.

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 questions will increase.

They may also pick up either a Steal Card, giving them a chance to steal from any other player, a 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 to play in small groups 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 double 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.

-Cut out cards and place them around the room or hallway.

-Give each student a recording sheet and assign them a starting problem.

-Each answer leads to the next card, and students will end up in the same place they started upon completion of the loop.

-An active way to get some extra multiplication practice in!

-Self-correcting!

-Includes 12 problem cards, one student worksheet, and an answer key

These math puzzles are great for students to practice multiplication, division, and finding patterns! This can act as a test review, an extra credit, or a finisher from when students finish their work early!

"The Answers Are..." is a great Non-Curricular Thinking Task your secondary math students can all access, no matter their skill level. Each task card gives a number bank with 10 integers and 5 target answers your students must create. Using each number in the bank only one time each, students work in random teams of three to create all 5 expressions by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It's more challenging than you might think!

If you are implementing Building Thinking Classrooms this year, "The Answers Are..." is a great thinking task to do with your students at your Vertical Whiteboard stations during the first week of school. Once they solve one of the puzzles, they will keep coming back for more.

This lesson includes the following:

• 10 Different Task Cards using Integers
• Solutions for each Task Card
• Complete lesson instructions and pacing
• A Free Canva Template to create your own Task Cards

This activity works great as...

• a beginning of school thinking task for grades 8 and up
• a challenging activity for your 7th grade students
• an extension activity for your 6th grade students
• a way to get your students out of their seats, standing at their whiteboards, and thinking deeply about math.
