Real-Life Math fun activity! Adding, Subtracting Integers in real life-Tasks key
By Daniel
To get students up to speed with essential skills is always a good idea!
This resource (a task with complete key) guides students through three different real-life ways to think about adding and subtracting integers. Students have to do all three methods and will hopefully all get to one way that is their favorite and one that consistently gets them to correct answers.
This resource works great as ...
- an assessment exercise
- a task
- independent work
- distance learning
- math stations
- math centers
- homework
- constructive group work when introducing the topic.
You must also get these resources on Integers as well!

Addition and Subtraction of Integers (with Parentheses) is an important T-junction in the life of students. To help them think in real-life ways about this important but abstract topic is very important. This product includes notes and a 62-problem task with complete key on problems such as 9-(-6). Students should think about adding and subtracting in at least the following three ways:
- Money
- Temperature
- The Number Line
Money - Positive numbers and addition is having money or earning it and negative numbers and subtraction means being in debt or spending money.
Temperature - Positive numbers and addition is temperatures above zero or getting warmer and negative numbers and subtraction means it is below zero or getting colder.
Number Line - Positive numbers and addition is movement to the right and negative numbers and subtraction is movement to the left. (You always start at zero and you do also count zero in the steps)
I have been teaching Integer addition and subtraction since 1994. I have tried every method under the sun - this method works best.
Math Skills Escape Room | Printable Pre Algebra Escape Room | Self Checking
By AbsoluteValueMath
This PreAlgebra Math Skills Escape Room is completely SELF CHECKING (and printable) and includes 40 questions to escape the school that was accidentally automatically locked! Students will complete 4 multiple choice questions (WITHOUT A CALCULATOR) in each of the 10 rooms covering math skills that are covered in Pre Algebra, including order of operations, linear equations, exponents, GCF, LCM, square roots, decimals, percentages & fractions, the coordinate plan, irregular shapes and simple proportions! After they solve the questions they will take their letter answer choice in order and write it under the locked door.
Before they can move to the next room they will go to the LOCK DECODER (Google Sheet) and put their code in. If the box turns green they can move to the next room. If the box turns red they must find their error and try again!
Their FINAL CHALLENGE will be to create their own multiple choice question per topic, which a template is provided for.
Why you need this:
- completely independent & self checking
- a story to keep your students intrigued
- will help your students with their basic math skills
- no calculator need (just print this packet)
Topics Included:
Room 1: The Library of ORDER OF OPERATIONS
Room 2: The LINEAR EQUATIONS Garden
Room 3: The EXPONENTS Chamber

Real-Life Math Fun Data, Statistics Collection Activity- make Real-Life Choices!
By Daniel
This classroom tried and tested data and statistics activity helps students to see the benefit of gathering their own quantitative and qualitative data to make real-life choices. We have all wondered - which water container should I buy? Are the expensive water containers really that much better? Students compare 4 water containers quantitatively for how effectively they keep water warm and cold. They also compare them qualitatively, looking at price, durability, design and other subjective measures.
This resource works great as ...
- a task
- a class project (it takes roughly a week)
- distance learning
- math centers
- constructive group work when introducing the topic of data and statistics.
And, Now with the Olympic Games just gone by, you must get these other activities for Data and Stats as well!

The topics covered in this task include:
- Times Tables
- Products
- Factors
- Multiples
- Square Numbers
- Prime Numbers
- Composite Numbers
- The proper notation to list sets of numbers.

Temperature - Positive numbers and addition is temperatures above zero or getting warmer and negative numbers and subtraction means it is below zero or getting colder.
Number Line - Positive numbers and addition is movement to the right and negative numbers and subtraction is movement to the left. (You always start at zero and you do also count zero in the steps)
I have been teaching Integer addition and subtraction since 1994. I have tried every method under the sun - this method works best.
This resource works great as
- an assessment exercise
- a task
- independent work
- distance learning
- math stations
- math centers
- homework

Decimal Multiplication Math - Cotton Candy Stand - Project Based Learning
By E•Fish•ient Teaching
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!
