Real-Life Integers: Working with Integers & Number Lines Grade 6 Math
Math, Number Lines, Addition and Subtraction, Addition, Subtraction, Numbers, Grade 5, 6, 7, Worksheets & Printables, Word Problems, Activities, Worksheets
Integers are everywhere in our lives! Get your students excited about learning about integers including using number lines and finding the difference between integers in a variety of real-life situations. This is perfect for students in grade six who are first learning about rational numbers. Social Media: Up Votes and Down Votes: You will read each statement one at a time to your class. Then ask for upvotes (and count the hands) and ask for downvotes (and count the hands). Remind students they can abstain from voting on a statement if they are ambivalent. If you think it will help your class, have students vote anonymously by putting their heads down. Record the upvotes and downvotes for each of the 10 statements. Students complete the math (which is really adding integers) to get each statement’s final score. (Extension: This activity can lead to a mini-lesson on facts vs. opinions.) Cities: Temperatures and Elevations: Students will need internet access for this activity. They will explore two cities: one with a positive temperature in degrees Celsius and one with a negative temperature in degrees Celsius. Using a number line, they will compare these two temperatures. Then, they must find the elevation (in meters) of six cities around the world to complete three math questions. Sports: Golf and Football: Students will apply adding and subtracting integers to a golf game to calculate the player’s score above or below par. Then, they use integers to calculate if a football team scores a touchdown. (Extension: Students can create their own football scenario. They can choose a starting point, make up 5 plays, and trade with a friend. ) Financial Literacy: Bank Account: Students add and subtract integers to keep a running bank balance in an account with an overdraft. They see how purchases reduce your balance and deposits increase your balance. I have included two versions, one with decimals and one with whole numbers only.

Crash Course Government Episode Worksheet | 8 - Congressional Leadership
Social Studies, Government, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Without a doubt, history is a topic that can be easily overlooked by our students. Sometimes, it can be difficult for them to make connections with the past in a way that makes sense to them. The same applies to government and politics. It can be difficult for our students to understand the rules and roles of being an American citizen. Being able to provide students with meaningful resources is the best way to get over this learning curve. Within my store, you will find a plethora of government and politics resources to utilize with your students. What You Get: This is the Congressional Leadership Worksheet for the Crash Course Government Episodes. This is a 2-page worksheet that has 15 questions for students to answer. The link to the Crash Course video can be found at the top of the worksheet. If students are completing this worksheet digitally, they will be able to quickly click on the link for themselves and be redirected to YouTube. An answer key is included in a separate Word document. If you print off the answer key, students can check their answers by themselves. The Congressional Leadership Video is 8 minutes long. How To Implement This Resource: You should print off enough copies of the worksheet for each student to have, so they can answer some of the questions as they listen to the video. You can listen to this video as a whole group and then allow students to listen to it again by themselves or in small groups, if your classroom has enough devices to do so. Being able to watch these engaging Crash Course videos more than once will help students make connections and close gaps for their understanding of government and politics. I hope you enjoy!
