In this product, you will combine graphing and SEL. This is the perfect back-to-school or get-to-know-you activity in any class-not just math! Students will receive a graphing page and a page with questions. Each question has a coordinate after it that the students plot on the graph. When the student is done plotting all the coordinates, they will draw a line to each coordinate and create a very unique shape. Some of the statements are; I like tacos, I have a pet, I have a sibling, I play a sport, I like sushi, I prefer outside to inside, I am an optimist, I like board games , my name has more than 5 letters, I have traveled outside the country, I speak more than one language, and I love gardening-among more. There are 20 statements. If a statement is not true for the student, they simply cross it off or skip to the next statement. This is a great resource for having students share and get to know each other, you will also get to know your students quite well from this activity. This would also be a great advisory activity at the beginning of the year. Another idea is to post these on a bulletin board afterward and admire the different unique shapes of your students. Students can also create an image from their shape if they wish-such as an animal, person, object, etc. One of the objectives of this resource is to allow students to reflect on their likes and dislikes and personality. The other objectives are for students to share commonalities and embrace differences. Lastly, you as the teacher will really get to know your students. This is fully editable so feel free to change the questions to your liking. You know your students best! You do not need to be a math teacher to use this resource! It's great for school counselors, specialists and advisory teachers as well.

Sensory Language: Descriptive Writing Activities 3
ELA, Strategies, Writing, Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities
This teaching material aims to assist teachers in their efforts to teach students ways to use Sensory Language when describing. Particularly, it helps them teach the 5-senses descriptive strategy. This particular strategy transforms simplistic and dull descriptions into rich and impressive ones. Students, after constant repetition, eventually learn to incorporate this strategy into their written descriptive discourse. What is Sensory Language? It is the use of sensory details in description. What are Sensory Details? Sensory details are bits of information, which you collect through your five senses. Incorporate sensory details into your descriptive writing. In this way, you give the reader a much cleaner idea and a more specific picture of what you are describing. Moreover, Sensory language brings our writing to life, and it helps the reader to feel like they are a part of the experience. In other words, “Sensory language” is words and phrases that link readers to the five senses: touch, sight, sound or hearing, smell, and taste. It can be used not only while describing things but while describing pictures and events as well. This certain product includes six organizers for implementing the 5-senses strategy in descriptive writing. In particular, each worksheet includes a colour photo, which the student is asked to describe

It also introduces reactants and products , explains why chemical equations must be balanced , and briefly connects the law to Antoine Lavoisier’s measurements . This passage is designed to bridge the gap between science and literacy by strengthening reading comprehension while sparking scientific curiosity in middle school students. It blends English Language Arts skills with accurate science content, helping students build background knowledge, understand key concepts, use evidence from the text, and explain scientific ideas clearly. This resource supports science classroom practice while also reinforcing important literacy skills such as main idea, vocabulary, comprehension, and summarizing. Ideal for interdisciplinary learning in ELA and Science. Suitable for Grade 9 review, too!

COMMON CORE STANDARDS CCSS5.NF.A.1 Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, 𝘢/𝘣 + 𝘤/𝘥 = (𝘢𝘥 + 𝘣𝘤)/𝘣𝘥.)

Slope Race Partner Activity
Math, Algebra, Grade 8, 9, 10, Activities
This is a Slope Race Partner Activity . This activity will give your students practice with finding slope and it requires them to use their expressive and receptive language skills to share information with a partner. There are 4 problems for students to complete. Step One: Break your class up into pairs. (I like to partner students who have more mastery over slope with students who are struggling.) Hand out blank race packets to the students and explain to them that they will need to work as a team to win the race. Step Two: Once the first team finishes, check their answers but encourage the other teams to keep going for 2nd and 3rd place. You could also vary this activity by setting a timer and having students race against the clock. The first team that finishes with correct answers before the time ends are the winners. This makes a great review activity at the end of the math unit . An answer key is included. I hope you enjoy!
