Pre-Algebra: No Prep Evaluate Expression Input Output Game
Math, Algebra, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Activities, Games
Here's an easy, no-prep partner game for your unit on expressions, graphing, variables, tables, and patterns! How to Use: Simply project the expressions on the interactive whiteboard and students become an input output machine (speaking in a robotic voice is, of course, optional). They secretly choose an expression and calculate outputs for their partner's inputs. This is great mental math practice too! There are two levels of difficulty to help all of your students participate. Level one expressions are one step (adding, subtracting, OR multiplying). Level two expressions are two step (multiplying AND adding or multiplying AND subtracting). Teacher Instructions: o Project these tables on the interactive whiteboard. o Students work in pairs. o One member starts as the “expression machine.” They secretly choose an expression from either table. o Their partner tells them an input number. They put it into the expression and say what the output would be. o Play until the partner can guess what expression they chose. Then switch roles. Grades to use with: This fun math game could work well in classrooms with students in grades 5-8. It could be an introduction to algebra in the younger grades or a warm-up for older students. It could also be used in high school special education classrooms to introduce algebra concepts in a much more approachable way. What's Included: A one-page math game you can print or project. Standards: Grade 6 Expressions and Equations Write and read and evaluate expressions with variables.

This hot air balloons reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Hot Air Balloons Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science (flight/forces) Primary Topic: How hot air balloons rise and early ballooning history Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains the key science idea that warm air rises and connects it to how a hot air balloon works. Builds historical understanding through a short timeline (1780s France experiments; June/September/November 1783 flights; return in the late 1950s–1960). Introduces main balloon parts and functions (envelope, basket, propane burner, valve) and how they affect rising/sinking. Clarifies how balloons travel (they can’t steer like airplanes; changing height helps catch winds moving different ways). Shows how improved materials/design (nylon fabric and powerful propane burners) helped ballooning become a sport and celebration again. Learning Goals Students will explain why warm air helps a hot air balloon rise using details from the passage. Students will identify the Montgolfier brothers and describe what the crowd in Annonay saw on June 4, 1783. Students will describe what happened at the Palace of Versailles on September 19, 1783. Students will describe the jobs of the envelope, propane burner, and valve in a modern balloon. Students will explain how a balloon can travel in different directions by changing height. Students will explain how Ed Yost helped ballooning return in the late 1950s and what happened in 1960. Key Vocabulary From the Text experiments — tests to find out if something works. envelope — big fabric balloon bag that fills with heated air. propane — fuel used to make the burner’s flame. valve — opening that lets hot air out. redesign — change how something is made to improve it.

Middle School Math Stations or Centers: Large and Small Place Value
Math, Decimals, Place Value, Grade 5, 6, 7, Centers, Activities
This ready-to-print set of 5 stations or math centres will supplement a middle school geometry unit about place value: including numbers from the hundred millions to the millionths. I have included lots of real-life examples such as populations of countries around the world and actual Olympic luge results that are measured to the thousandth of a second. Math stations are an excellent way to get students engaged as they move about the room and work cooperatively with their peers. Even when students are in intermediate grades, they benefit from a variety of teaching strategies including the use of stations to make math class more interactive. Station 1: Students can work collaboratively to solve four word problems about place value.

Why we teach errorless learning Errorless learning is a teaching technique that involves minimizing errors during the learning process by providing learners with prompts or cues to help them avoid making mistakes. This approach is particularly effective with young early learning students because it can help build their confidence and prevent frustration, which can be major barriers to learning. Here are some reasons why it is important for educators to teach errorless learning to young early learning students: Promotes success: Young early learning students who experience success in their learning are more likely to enjoy the process of learning and be motivated to continue. By minimizing errors and providing cues, educators can help students achieve success and build their confidence. Reduces frustration: When young early learning students make mistakes, they can become frustrated and lose interest in learning. By minimizing errors and providing cues, educators can reduce frustration and keep students engaged and motivated. Increases independence: Errorless learning can help young early learning students become more independent learners by allowing them to practice skills without the fear of making mistakes. As they become more confident and proficient in their learning, they can gradually reduce their reliance on prompts and cues. Builds a strong foundation: Early learning is critical for building a strong foundation for future learning. By teaching errorless learning, educators can help students develop a strong foundation of skills and knowledge that they can build on as they progress through their academic careers. Sorting/Grouping non-identical objects - ERRORLESS ACTIVITY This activity is a great starter activity for the learner who is being introduced to the concept of grouping/sorting. This 22 page activity is two activities in one. The first one is errorless, where the learner can be independently successful completing an activity . It teaches identical matching and the initial concept of group sorting- taking an identical item from a group of identical items and moving it to match an identical item. There is a second bonus activity of non-identical cards to teach grouping of non-identical items. The pictures are large and clear. Great for those with vision issues or even visual attention issues.
