Geometry Project: Park Design- Area, Perimeter, Volume, and Budgeting
Math, Decimals, Multiplication and Division, Division, Money, Geometry, Measurements, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities, Projects
This math project allows students in 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th grade to apply their knowledge of perimeter, area, volume, financial literacy, and decimal calculations to a realistic & creative situation: planning a fun new park! They will design a new park that includes different areas for swimming, playing, eating, resting, walking, and even skating! Students will use their knowledge of perimeter of right-angled shapes when planning the size and shape of the park & the amount of fencing required use their knowledge of area when splitting the park up into different sections for activities use their knowledge of volume when considering filling the pool in their park use their knowledge of money math/decimal calculations when determining the grand total price of the entire park project. Each section has a different cost- a great introduction to unit rate. For example, paths are much less expensive than a playground, while grassy areas cost less than the swimming pool does. I ask my students to calculate by hand, but you can allow yours to use a calculator as well. This project gets students using their creative and logical problem solving skills, organizational skills, careful calculating methods, and neat drawing and colouring. It is a great project to use for a summative assessment at the end of a unit or to show parents at parent-teacher conferences. What's Included: A total of 4 pages in PDF format: Ready to print and use! Title Page, 2 Page Worksheet, 1 Page Grid Grades to Use With: This math project could work in grades 4-8 in regular math classes. It could also be used in high school special education classes.

Winter Percents Word Problems Digital Escape Room
Math, Winter, Seasons, Holiday & Seasonal, Percentages, Grade 5, 6, 7, Escape Room, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets
While percent problems might seem easy, some of the trickier aspects of these problems can occur when the student is also trying to determine if they are calculating the part, percent, or whole. To add a little extra practice with these types of problems, especially within a winter theme, there is a Digital Winter Break Escape Room that gives them the practice opportunities that are required. Here, instead of completing a series of problems, these individuals become a character within a story that requires them to use percent problems to save the Frostbite Festival. The activity involves solving twenty practical percent word problems centered around percent of a number with the objective of determining the whole using the part and the percent in each word problem. The word problems are divided across four escape room scenarios: the Snack Shack, the Skating Trail, the Yeti Workshop, and the Penguin Performance, so it does not seem like it is all one assignment. In order to go to the next answer, the student must enter the correct answer to the previous problem. The escape session is self-checked, and the student cannot go to the next answer if his answer is not correct. This resource requires absolutely no prep. There are no accounts that need to be set up, no passwords that need to be maintained, or complex setups that need to take place. All you need is to share the link provided via Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Microsoft Teams, or via whatever platform you are using in your classroom, and children are ready to go. This resource is also cross-device compatible. Autosave comes in very handy when the winter schedule is busy. As long as the students come back to the computer and the browser they were previously using, they simply pick right back up where they left off. It is fully printable too, which means you can easily use it as you desire. With this product, you can expect a worksheet containing all the percentage problems, a set of matching task cards, and a corresponding answer key. These resources can be best utilized as math center activities, small group interventions, or even as homework or substitute teacher activities because they are fully printable. Direct instructions are included for teachers and for students. The instructions for the teacher discuss options for assignments and automatically saving, and the student instructions show step by step how students can enter their responses and complete the escape room activity. Skills involved include calculation of percent of a number, finding the whole, making sense of percent concepts in context, and solving percent word problems. If you are looking for an easy and effective winter percent activity for your classroom, this escape room is an absolute gem. Your students will remain engaged and independent while still providing you with instant feedback and an easy substitution for sub days and review times.

6th Grade Math: Statistics and Probability Bundle: 4 Activities
Math, Statistics, Graphing, Money, Common Core, Grade 5, 6, 7, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities
Do you need some new ideas for your 6th grade math unit to meet the Common Core State Standards for Statistics and Probability? Here is a ready-to-go bundle with four fun real-life activities to incorporate into your unit plan. 1) Statistical Questions: Students are taught what a statistical question is: a question that has numerical answers that vary.. 8 questions are included. Students need to identify if they are statistical questions or not. If they are, students think of how the data might be collected. If they are not, students explain what aspects of a statistical question are missing. Finally, students write 4 questions of their own (one should not be a statistical question) and they trade with a friend to see if they can identify the odd one out. 2) Dot Plots and Histograms: Students will collect numerical data through a survey and create their own dot plots and histograms to display their findings! This gives them a sense of ownership over their learning, and it is a great way to assess their skills! Discussion questions and self- assessment are included. 3) Math Stations: Statistics and Probability: Station 3 in particular has students create a dot plot and calculate the mean, median and mode of provided data. They can also do the probability stations if you want to address those skills. 4) Mean, Median and Interquartile Range of Hourly Wages: From a cashier to a taxi driver to an account to a CEO, students are given 10 realistic hourly wages. First, they create a histogram to display the data. Next, they write the wages in order from smallest to largest. They use this information to calculate the mean, the median, and the interquartile range. After that, they eliminate the outlier (the CEO wage) and recalculate the same statistics. Discussion questions are included. Grades to Use With: This bundle is designed for students in Grade 6, but can be used for Grade 5 enrichment, Grade 7 or 8 review, or high school special education classes. What's Included: 20 Page PDF with 4 Activities

Real-World Ratio Worksheets: Rising Cost of Living Financial Literacy
Finance, Life Studies, Home Economics, Percentages, Math, Fractions, Money, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Word Problems
Here’s a middle or high school applied math or consumer math activity to help your students practice the ratio math skills they have learned in a real-world situation: the rising cost of living . The three-page worksheet includes real statistics (from the United States) with accurate median family income, median house price, and average private college costs from 1965, 1995, and 2025. Students can use simple ratios to compare this data and see if housing and university really are more expensive compared to wages than they used to be. Although this lesson uses US data, it demonstrates trends that are occurring in other countries (like Canada) too! How to Use: Print 3 pages of worksheets for each student. Go over the table on page one together. It shows the median family income, median house price, and average cost of one year of college in 1965, 1995, and 2025 (in dollars for each of those years). Ask students what they notice. Model how to use the chart to write a ratio and simplify it by rounding. Use the included example of 1965 income to 1965 house price, which simplifies to 1:3 Let students work in pairs or small groups on the rest of the ratio questions. They will complete research for question 8: to find the average prices of a different category (medical insurance, food, cars, etc.) for 1965, 1995, and 2025. These can be shared later in a class discussion. Students can also share their ideas from question 9 in the discussion: how can people get ahead when housing and college cost so much more compared to wages than they used to? Finally, students can create their own meme to share a real-world proportional relationship about the rising cost of living with others. A sample is included in the answer key. A complete answer key is included so there is no guess-work with this lesson! Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed for middle school students in 6th, 7th or 8th grade to apply and practice ratio, rate, and proportional relationship skills. It could also be used in high school consumer math classes to help students understand current economic events. What's Included: 5-Page PDF: Ready to Print and Use! Complete Teacher Instructions Worksheet: Real Historical Data from the US: income, house prices, college costs in 1965, 1995, 2025 Worksheet: Ratio Math Questions Worksheet: Reflect & Create a Meme Complete Answer Key

Large Number Place Value: Comparing Countries with Decimal Millions and Billions
Social Studies, Geography, Math, Addition and Subtraction, Subtraction, Decimals, Place Value, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets
This engaging place value activity helps reinforce place value skills to the billions using the populations of countries around the world. It is an interesting and relevant way for students in the intermediate or middle school grades (grade 4, grade 5, grade 6, grade 7, or grade 8), and it could easily tie in with your social studies curriculum. If students have individual devices and internet access, they can search for the populations of the countries independently. If not, you could find the populations and then read them aloud for students to record- which is actually a great way to practice place value skills too! Then students will need to work with the numbers: rounding, ordering, estimating, and calculating. This activity can work well when completed in partners, small groups, or independently- it could even be a homework task! Grades to Use With: This activity works well in the middle grades (from grades 4-8) or in a high school special education classroom. How to Use: Students need to find the populations of 10 countries: Turkey, Chile, Brazil, China, Canada, United States, Israel, Iceland, Ethiopia, and Mexico. They write each population in standard form and then round to decimal millions (for example 37.2 million). Next, they write the countries' populations in order from smallest to largest and answer some questions that compare the populations. They also write three of the populations in expanded form, and calculate the exact difference between two of the countries- all great ways to practice place value in real world tasks! What's Included: A total of 3 pages: Title Page Two-Page Worksheet in PDF Format: Ready for you to print and use immediately! Standards: CCSS4.NBT.A.2 Place Value Skills: Expanded Form, Comparing Numbers CCSS4.NBT.A.3 Place Value Skills: Rounding Numbers to Any Place Value Spot CCSS5.NBT.A.1 Place Value Skills: Understanding the Relationship Between Place Value Spots
