Mixed Numbers Recipe Doubling – Real-World Math
Math, Fractions, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities
Butter Tart Recipe (based on my grandma's actual delicious family recipe!) Here is a real-life example to help students practice adding and multiplying mixed numbers and improper fractions. When students ask, "When will we ever use this in real-life?!" you can show them this lesson and say that working with fractions is so common in baking. This delicious activity will allow students to practice using fractions with a realistic everyday example: baking! Students will take a recipe that has several fractions in it and double it. Half a cup of something becomes a cup and 3/4 of a cup becomes 1 and a half cups. After that, they need to figure out how much of each ingredient would be needed if the recipe was made five times bigger (perhaps in a bakery setting or for a large event). I encourage my students to use different strategies to complete this task: drawing pictures with squares, repeated addition, or multiplication. Boxes for diagrams and math calculations are included to encourage students to show their work. You could even have different students come up to show their personal strategies to the rest of the class. As an extension, students can bring in their own recipes from home in the next class and double them or multiply them by five as well. You might even want to actually make something tasty to eat too!

Middle School Math Stations or Centers: Early Algebra: Patterns, Expressions, Tables, Graphing, and Equations
Math, Patterns, Algebra, Graphing, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Centers, Activities
Math stations are a great way to get students engaged as they move about the room and work collaboratively with their peers. But they are a lot of work to prepare! This ready-to-go set of 5 stations will supplement a unit about early algebra concepts: patterns, expressions, tables, graphing & equations. Ways to Use: You can break your class into 5 groups and have them rotate one at a time through the centres, giving them 10-20 minutes at each one. Or, start students at certain centres and then allow them to move around at their own pace as long as no one centre gets too full. I find these are a great resource as you are finishing your unit and preparing for the unit test. Station 1: Word problems (Optional: set out white boards for students to use): These four word problems are about realistic situations involving money, memberships, and patterns. There is also a question that gets students thinking about how to solve equations using very simple numbers. Station 2: Partner game to practice evaluating expressions. Students play an "input/output machine" game with a partner. They will mentally evaluate simple expressions until their partner can guess which expression they are using from the chart. Then they switch roles. Station 3: Students create a growing pattern and write an expression to represent it. (Supplies needed: some kind of counters or cubes to make the pattern) I find my students often struggle to figure out the expression for a pattern in a table. One trick I use is to teach them to "Mind the Gap!" Look for the "gap" in the second column of the pattern. In this case it is increasing by 4. Always multiply that number by the variable, therefore 4n. Then see what you have to add or subtract to make it true for all of the inputs (in this case +2). Station 4: Practice solving one-step equations and graphing simple patterns. Students can use multiple methods to solve the one-step equations. Then they graph the growth of two plants and notice when one grows taller and why. Station 5: Students explain their thinking about equations in words in response to a journal prompt. Optional extension: online game to practice solving equations in a step-by-step manner. Grades to Use With: These stations could work with grades 5-8 or high school special education classes. Standards: CCSS5.OA.A.2 CCSS5.OA.B.3 CCSS6.EE.A.2 CCSS6.EE.B.5 CCSS6.EE.B.6 CCSS7.EE.B.4 If you like these stations, check out my other sets: Integer Stations Area, Perimeter, and Volume Stations Factors and Multiples Stations Decimals and Percent Stations

Theoretical vs Experimental Probability – 2-Page Task
Math, Percentages, Fractions, Statistics, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities
Theoretical and Experimental Probability: A Hands-On Math Exercise (with Fractions and Percentages) This is a ready-to-use, engaging, two-page math activity designed for intermediate students in grade levels 4 through 7. The product lets your students easily conduct a simple probability experiment that will help them grasp the concepts of theoretical and experimental probabilities. They will also tie this learning into other math topics by converting fraction results into percentages. Items Needed: Paper bags filled with items that are red, yellow blue, and green. Ideal items can be Legos, blocks or counters. Bags should contain amounts of items that will easily convert from fractions to percentages- so 5 items, 10 items, 20 items, or 25 items are ideal. Features: Fits seamlessly into any probability or percentage unit Serves as excellent practice for reinforcing equivalent fraction and percentage concepts How to Use: Split students into small groups. Give each group a bag of items and a worksheet (double-sided) for each member. Students will explore their bag: count the total number of items, count how many there are of each colour, write each colour as a fraction, and convert that to a percentage. This is the theoretical probability of each event. Then they perform the experiment: pulling one item from the bag and replacing it twenty times. They will use a tally chart to record the colours pulled. They will turn their results (fractions out of 20) into percentages. This is the experimental probability. Finally, students reflect on if the theoretical and experimental probabilities matched or did not and why that could be. Grades to Use With: This activity is designed for students in grades 4-7 who are learning about equivalent fractions, percentages, and probability experiments. What's Included: 3 page PDF: Title Page and 2-page handout. Copy double sided and you are ready to go!
