Drawing Nets for 3-D Objects: Applied & Real-World Math 6th 7th 8th
Math, Geometry, Measurements, Grade 6, 7, 8, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Worksheets, Activities
Here is an 8th grade math lesson that incorporates Indigenous cultural learning along with math skills for calculating surface area and volume, drawing different views of 3-D objects, and constructing nets for 3-D objects. Students will learn about indigenous bentwood boxes and practice drawing nets of these items to help calculate surface area and volume in real-world scenarios. How to Use: Print four pages of worksheets for each student. Go through the first page together to learn about bentwood boxes. Either show the video and webpages to the whole class or let students complete research in pairs or small groups. They must sketch at least one bentwood box and take some notes. Next, students complete calculations with the sample red box. NOTE: Assume the lid sits ON the sides (and does not cover the sides) like a true bentwood box. I have only used right angles here, which is not completely realistic for a bentwood box, but is appropriate for this level of math. The sides of the lid would have to be thick for this to work in real life. Students calculate the volume and surface area of the box and consider how capacity is different than volume in this case. On pages three and four, students draw nets for the three pieces of the bentwood box and use a simple scale (1 grid square = 8cm). Remind them that the box’s sides are made from one continuous piece of wood that is scored and bent. Finally, students can create a design on their net. See if they can determine what way the pieces fit together to ensure their design is oriented correctly. This is a great way to apply geometry learning to a real-life task, and it incorporates indigenous culture into your math classroom. Grades to Use With: This lesson was specifically designed for British Columbia Mathematics 8 curriculum, but it can work in any classroom that is learning about surface area, volume, and nets of 3-D shapes in grades 6, 7, or 8. What's Included: 6-Page PDF: Ready to Print and Use! - Teacher Instructions - Learn about Bentwood Boxes Handout - Calculating Volume & Surface Area Worksheet - Drawing Nets Worksheets - Complete Answer Key

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!

50 Math Puzzles for Grade 6
Math, Algebra, Fractions, Decimals, Geometry, Percentages, Order Of Operations, Graphing, Statistics, Grade 6, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems
Fifty numbered problems rotate through a fixed cycle of ten math strands — algebra equations, decimal operations, fraction operations, ratio simplification, percent calculations, exponents, order of operations, geometry (area, circumference, volume), word problems, and integer operations, plus coordinate-plane and data/probability questions worked into the sequence. Each item is a single short-answer prompt such as solving 3x + 7 = 22 or finding the area of a triangle, with a blank line beneath for the student's work, and the set closes with a full answer key giving the correct value for all fifty items. Because the strands repeat in the same rotating order roughly every ten questions, the set functions as a spiral-review packet rather than a single-topic worksheet, suited to independent practice, a math center, or as review before an assessment. No instructional scaffolding or worked examples are included beyond the questions and final answers.

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.

Surface Area + Volume – Real-Life Doghouse Math
Math, Geometry, Measurements, Common Core, Grade 6, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Word Problems
A model doghouse, drawn as a combined rectangular-and-triangular prism with labeled dimensions, gives students a real-world reason to calculate surface area (to determine how much paint to buy) and volume (to reason about what could fit inside). Students first sketch the shape's four unique faces on a grid, accounting for one edge with a fractional length of one-half inch, then use a table to calculate the area of each face type, multiply by how many of each face the doghouse has, and sum them for a grand total; a second table walks through the volume of the rectangular and triangular prism sections separately. Five closing discussion questions ask students to explain why the base isn't painted, calculate how many paint containers to buy given a coverage rate, and justify which formula they used for each volume calculation. A complete answer key follows with every calculated area, the total volume in cubic inches, and model responses to all five discussion questions.
