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.

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

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!

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
