Original Prompt

Please create a 5 dayy thanksgiving packet for my 6th grade students. Packet should include short notes for revision as well as short examples. Questions should be a mixture of multiple choice and open ended.

This resource explores mathematical concepts through the theme of Thanksgiving, primarily focusing on absolute values and the use of negative numbers in real-world scenarios. It illustrates how temperatures associated with cooking turkey can be represented on a number line, explaining the absolute value as the distance from zero, along with practice problems involving both temperature changes and integer operations. The document includes guided practice sections for understanding number line movements, mixed practice problems reflecting Thanksgiving themes, and exercises involving multiplication and division rules for positive and negative numbers. Furthermore, it reviews fraction operations and discusses properties of operations to simplify calculations. Additionally, there are multi-step problems that incorporate various math concepts applicable to scenarios like thawing a turkey or preparing holiday recipes.
