The Little Book of Logic Puzzles: 25 Puzzles That Will Make You Think, Volume #2
ELA, Reading, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Activities
Volume #2 of The Little Book of Logic Puzzles: 25 Puzzles That Will Make You Think . Each Logic Puzzle in this volume is part of a two-page spread. The first page of the spread contains the puzzle while the second page lists the answer and explanation. All of the puzzles are arranged in order of difficulty, from easiest to most difficult. The download you have received is in a Microsoft WORD format. This gives you the option to print the puzzles out on paper or solve them on the computer screen. A third option, that of displaying the puzzles on an overhead projector as part of a classroom or public presentation , can help you and the other solvers see and more clearly understand how the puzzle grids can be marked with “X’s” (to eliminate choices that can’t be), and “O’s” (to show the choices that must be), giving additional visual cues that will help you to correctly solve the puzzles. These 25 Logic Puzzles are great tools for developing reading comprehension and problem solving skills. Teachers, present them as an activity in your classroom to start the day, or at the start of a reading period. Use them to give your students a break from traditional reading exercises, while still providing them with a significant reading challenge. Consider adding a Logic Puzzle as an ungraded extra page to the end of a quiz or test, giving those students who finish the test quickly a puzzle to solve and something to do while others in the class are still completing their exams. Once you have finished solving the Logic Puzzles in Volume #2, you may want to have access to more puzzles. Thankfully, Volumes #1 and #3 are also available in the same format, and each contains another set of 25 Logic Puzzles of the same quality and the same level of challenge!

Math Journal: Experimental Probability with Two Independent Events
ELA, Math, Percentages, Fractions, Statistics, Writing, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities
Math Journal: Experimental Probability with Two Independent Events This resource serves as a helpful teaching tool for educators focusing on the concepts of experimental probability and theoretical probability of two independent events in middle school mathematics. It offers an engaging math journal entry exercise that allows students to explain their mathematical thinking in pictures, numbers, diagrams, and words. How to Use: Students are given the following question: You have a six-sided die and a penny. If you roll the die twice and flip the penny twice, which is more likely: to get two sixes on the die or two heads from the penny? Explain your thinking using pictures, numbers, and words. Can you figure out the percentage chance of each event happening? Give students dice, coins, and mini whiteboards to work with so they can start to test out their ideas and theories. Encourage students to tackle the penny first as there are fewer results when flipping two coins. Suggest that students work together in pairs or small groups and use a table or chart to record the experimental options that could occur. You may want to start by teaching a mini-lesson about the probability of two independent events: that one multiplies the probability of each event to determine the probability of BOTH events. Grades to Use With This resource is ideal for use with students in grades 5-9 but can also be used as special education material or enrichment content for gifted children aged between grades 4-6. Finally, it could be used in a high school special education classroom. What's Included: This two page PDF is ready to print and go!

Introduction to Personal Finance: Dive into MONEY! This lesson serves as the kickstart to my personal finance module. While it's primarily an introductory session, it can seamlessly fit into any personal finance curriculum. The core theme explores the complexities of a barter-based economy and delves into the reasons we pivot to using money, accompanied by a precise definition of money. It's a dynamic and captivating lesson. It includes a light-hearted skit, where students, and optionally the teacher, illustrate the pitfalls of bartering. Following the skit, the spotlight shifts to understanding the essence of money and its significance. With hands-on demonstrations, students get a chance to actively participate, ensuring they remain engrossed and involved throughout the session. What is included? -The Goat Farmer and Chicken Farmer skit (props not included :-) -a power point that will define money and the challenges of a barter economy -a Federal Reserve bank publication titled: "MONEY", this is a must have resource when teaching about money! I use this resource in my 7th grade classroom, but it could be used in almost any middle or high school class. This has been a successful lesson in my economics class for almost 20 years. Teaching economics is fun!

The Light - Lenses, The Eye, the Pinhole Camera and the Camera Find the Pair Game for Middle School is an educational resource that combines learning with interactive gaming. This pack is designed to engage middle school students in understanding concepts of light, lenses, eyes and cameras. An exciting feature of this tool is a memory game based on lenses. The Play-and-Learn pack contains 42 question-and-answer cards that focus on eye functioning, pinhole camera mechanism and standard cameras. Students play in groups to find matching pairs among the face-down cards. This approach fosters friendly competition among learners as they get to challenge each other's selection if a mismatch is suspected. About the Game: Detailed instructions are included for easy implementation in classrooms or study groups. An answer sheet is provided for quick verification during game challenges. Pre-requisities: Familiarity with ray diagrams illustrating refraction in convex and concave lens; applications of these lenses; labeling structures of an eye diagram; understanding how an eye sees distant or close objects; Learners should know about using lenses for vision correction, controlling pupil size for light regulation via iris; functioning details about pinhole camera as well as regular cameras etc. This innovative teaching aid prompts exploration while enhancing cognitive skills (for grades 5 through 9 science students specializing in physics). Note: All contents come bundled within one zip file which includes multiple file types for user convenience. The aim here is to transform education from being monotonous by turning it into entertainment without downplaying its scholastic worthiness—a testament to ingenuity conducive even towards homework assignments without losing any part of its allure irrespective of setting—the living room or classroom.
