Buying a Home: Financial Literacy Lesson- Mortgages and More for Grades 4-6 or Special Education Engage your elementary students in an exciting journey of learning about being homeowners with this interactive financial literacy lesson. This versatile resource is developed for students from grades 4 to 6 or high school special education pupils acquiring life skills. Students learn real-world home buying terminology such as down payment, mortgage, interest, principal, property taxes, and insurance. Learning complicated financial jargon makes navigating adult responsibilities less daunting in future years. What's Included: A comprehensive six-page PDF document includes: Title Page and Teacher Instructions A handout explaining home buying vocabulary and sample calculations for beginners. A series of practice problems for students to apply their learning and use intermediate math skills (addition & subtraction of numbers up to the hundred thousands, multiplying and dividing by 12 to work with monthly and yearly expenses, and calculating 1% of a number using decimals or division). An accompanying cut-and-paste vocabulary matching activity to reinforce learning. A complete answer key to make marking a breeze. How to Use: Go over the first page handout as a class or with small groups of students. Then, let students work together in pairs or small groups to complete the math questions during class time so questions can be addressed. Finally, I would assign the vocabulary matching as a quick homework task to reinforce the day's learning. Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed to be accessible to upper elementary students with the basic math skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with large numbers and an initial understanding of percentages. It could also be easily used in high school special education classes that are focusing on learning key life skills.

Probability Word Problems Middle School Probability of Compound Events
Math, Statistics, Fractions, Decimals, Percentages, Grade 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets
This middle school (grades 6-8) probability lesson and worksheet has three parts to help your class understand the probability of compound events (2 events that both occur but do not affect one another) and how to write probabilities as decimals and percentages. How it Works: There are two "casino games" presented. Each has two steps and specific rules. 1) Students first determine the theoretical probability (in fractions, decimals, or percents) of the casino game that has a spinner and a die and three different outcomes. 2) Students next determine the theoretical probability (in fractions, decimals or percents) of the casino game that has a penny and a die and three different outcomes. 3) Finally, students will compare the two games and pick which game they would choose to play using their math calculations as justification. Students can use fractions, decimals, or percents to figure out the theoretical probabilities from these two games. They will notice that all the outcomes in one game will always add to 1.00 or 100% This lesson is specifically created to target 7th Grade Statistics Learning Outcomes 7.SP.C.5 and 7.SP.C.8 What's Included: 5 Page PDF- Ready to Print and Use! - Teacher Instructions - 3-Page Student Worksheet with 2 Casino Games, Calculation Tables, and Written Reflection - COMPLETE ANSWER KEY INCLUDED If you like this activity, check out other probability options in my store! Middle School Math Stations or Centers for Statistics and Probability: Grades 5-8 These 5 math stations are a great way to help your students prepare for a unit test. They involve statistics and probability including working with dice, finding mode, median and mean, and creating simple graphs. Theoretical and Experimental Probability: Hands-On Math Task with Fractions and Percentages Here's a super low-prep probability experiment you can perform in your classroom, and easily tie into percentage math skills as well!

Math Journals: 20 Intermediate and Middle School Math and Critical Thinking Prompts: Geometry, Percentages, Pre-Algebra, Probability, Place Value and More!
Math, Percentages, Patterns, Decimals, Fractions, Geometry, Measurements, Place Value, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems
Encourage your middle school/intermediate math students to clearly explain their ideas about concepts (like ratio, area, and algebra) in complete sentences using appropriate vocabulary and relevant diagrams . These open-ended questions require students to explain how they figured out their answers or to judge options using their mathematic understanding. They are a great review of math concepts learned earlier in the year or in previous grades, and they allow students to practice critical thinking skills too. This bundle includes 20 journal entry topics so you can use two a month for the entire school year. You and your students can track their progress and development. The journals are not numbered, so you can use them in whatever order works best for your class. This could be a fantastic addition to your math program for the new school year! A rubric for easy marking is also included. Students are assessed on their process, vocabulary, completeness, and visuals. This allows you to easily see student progress if you assess one or two journals per term. You could also use them as artifacts for parent-teacher conferences. Topics covered: - fractions and percent: equivalent fractions, fraction and decimal relationships, division of fractions, fractions to percent, percent discounts - probability and data collection: flipping coins, surveys, experiments - geometry: area and perimeter, triangles, rotations, - pre-algebra: one-step equations, membership rates - place value: large numbers, decimals to thousandths - factors and ratios For each topic, students are encouraged to write in complete sentences and explain all of their thinking clearly and explicitly. Don't assume the teacher knows what you are thinking! They should also draw some diagrams to support their thinking. This could include area and perimeter models, fraction models, t-charts and tables, and more.

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!
