Financial Literacy: My Party Budget- Decimals and Percentages Application
Life Studies, Finance, Home Economics, Math, Percentages, Decimals, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities, Projects
Financial Literacy: My Party Budget- Decimals and Percentages Application Unlock mathematics’ real-world influence with this practical math project for students in grades 5-8. This tool allows students to sharpen their intermediate math skills, particularly applying percentage calculations and decimal operations to manage a budget consciously - a vital lesson in financial literacy. This versatile resource is ideal for grades 5 to 8 classrooms as well as high school special education environments where budgeting practice complements life skills training. How to Use: Give each student a party budget. You can choose to give everyone the same budget, OR this is a great way to differentiate. Give students with emerging understanding a budget of $100 (which is easy to work with) and give students who need a challenge a budget such as $240, which will result in more complex calculations. This will also stimulate discussions about budgeting in general and the challenge of planning with less money. Students need to partition their hypothetical party budget across varied cost categories like food, decorations and entertainment by employing basic percent in decimal form and understanding addition and multiplication of decimals. For example, they might decide to spend 50% of their budget on food because that is their favourite part of a party. They will calculate 50% of their total budget. This skill application brings relevance to numbers through experiential learning. You can decide if students should complete calculations by hand or if using a calculator is allowed. Also, a complete sample answer key is included that you can show to your students to demonstrate the task. Finally, students complete shopping research and choose items online or in store flyers. This fosters strategic thinking when managing limited resources. You can have a discussion about making tradeoffs (for example, choosing frozen pizza instead of fresh to have extra money for a party activity OR inviting fewer guests to have more money for party favours per person). What's Included: A total of 8 pages in PDF Format Title Page Teacher Instructions 3 Page Student Worksheets 3 Page Sample Answer Key

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

6th Grade Math: Algebra Inequality Matching Game
Algebra, Math, Number Lines, Grade 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities, Games
Teaching your students about how to write and evaluate inequalities in algebra can sometimes end up being a bit dry. Try adding this game to your algebra unit to bring a little movement and collaboration to your classroom. It's a super simple game : just print the cards and cut them out. There are 32 cards in 16 pairs. Deal one card to each student in your class. They should spend half a minute looking at their card and thinking of other ways it could be represented. For example, if they have a number line: what inequality does it show? If they have an inequality, could it be simplified? Then, all the students get up and move around the room (SILENTLY!). They can use gestures while looking at each others' cards and trying to find their match. Pairs move to the side of the room until everyone is matched up. It's that simple! Of course, you could also use these cards for a standard memory game where you flip two cards at a time and try to find matches. I have also included a second set of cards that have pairs of fractions and decimals (for example 1/20 and 0.05). Grades to Use With: These cards are designed to target the standard 6EE.B.8 in grade six classrooms, but they could also be an excellent quick review in grades 7 and 8!

Winter Unit Rates Word Problems Digital Escape Room
Math, Fractions, Winter, Seasons, Holiday & Seasonal, Grade 5, 6, 7, Escape Room, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets
If your students struggle with unit rates, this Winter Digital Escape Room will give them the practice they need without the struggle. Rather than slog through another page of word problems, students are placed into a scenario where unit rate problems are a necessary part of bringing back the Frostbite Festival. This allows enough purpose to be added to avoid taking away from the math. Students work through twenty actual-unit-rate word problems set in four escape room winter scenes: The Snack Shack, Skating Trail, Yeti Workshop, and Penguin Performance. Students work with word problems related to cost, distance, time, and quantity from the everyday experience they realize from using unit rates. In order to progress, students must compute the correct answer and type it into the escape room. The escape room is a completely self-contained activity, which means students will not be able to progress with an incorrect answer, making this activity perfect for independent practice. One of the most beneficial aspects of this resource is the low level of work that it generates. There is no prep work that is necessary. You don’t have to set up anything, including logins and passwords and lock screens. You can just send out the link via Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Microsoft Teams, or whatever tool that you are using. They just click and start. This autosave functionality comes in very handy during longer class times or interruptions. So long as students have had the chance to log back into the same computer and browser, they will pick up exactly where they left off. To make it more flexible, a printable version is also included. You will get a worksheet featuring all twenty unit rate problems, a matching version task card set, and finally, a full answer key. This is perfect for math center activities, small-scale intervention groups, or homework. Both the student and teacher instructions are provided and WrittenClearly, so there’s no misunderstanding or guestimation of how to do things. Students know just how to input their answers, and teachers know how to assign and use the autosave function. The skills which will be developed here include the understanding of the interpretation of unit rates, calculating a unit rate from a ratio, and using the rate in practical applications of money, time, distance, and measure problems. A winter unit rate resource that is engaging, organized, and actually easy to implement is not easy to find, but this escape room resource certainly delivers all of these things. Such a resource keeps students on task and provides a reliable no-prep resource for you to implement repeatedly.

Fraction Word Problems Digital Escape Room
Math, Fractions, Winter, Seasons, Holiday & Seasonal, Grade 5, 6, 7, Escape Room, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets
Fraction problems on paper usually go over like a, well, snowball with your students; but this Winter Digital Escape Room changes that right away! Instead of plowing through problems on a page, students find themselves right in the middle of a wintery story in which their math smarts make all the difference. Their task? Unfreeze the Frostbite Festival with fraction problems embedded in four story scenarios. Students solve twenty fraction problems involving adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. With each correct solution giving the student a further piece of the puzzle and therefore the incentive to take their time and think before responding, this activity strongly encourages the student to take their time and think before responding. This activity also helps the student work independently without the need for constant checks by the teacher since the activity is entirely self-checking. The advantage: flexibility to perform calculations as improper fractions or as mixed numbers. This eliminates unnecessary frustration and “but my answer is right too” arguments among students. Then there is the autosave feature that allows students to save their work midway through the lesson, as long as they are on the same computer or accessing the page on the same web browser. There are also four winter-themed scenarios to keep things new and interesting throughout. Students will move around different activity cards of Snack Shack, Skating Trail, Yeti Workshop, and Penguin Performance. It is completely engaging and provides meaning without being distracting, which is exactly what you need when you are in the review session. This resource is the real deal in the realm of ‘no prep’ products. There is no account that needs to be set up, no passwords, and no complex installation. You simply share the link from Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, or whatever platform you use, and the kids can start working. It is completely seamless from the perspective of the users, including chromebooks, laptops, desktops, and tablets. In instances when you would prefer paper options or if you desire to reuse the problems in another manner, a complete printable version is also included. You'll get a worksheet with all the problems, a set of task cards to match the problems, and an answer key. Clear directions for both teachers and students are provided, and all can see exactly what the activity entails. Topics covered for both math and reading consist of all four fraction operations with unlike denominators and real-world fraction word problems. If you are searching for a winter fractions review that is engaging, organized, and easy to facilitate, this digital escape room meets every requirement and your students will want to solve it.

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.
