Amazing Birthday Cards Activity
Amazing
Birthday Cards is an activity in which students respond "yes" or "no" to five numbered cards and the teacher
uses mathematical patterns to determine the birthdays
of these students based on their responses. Students discover the mathematical pattern that enables
the teacher to identify the birthdays and they come to understand that this activity is based upon the base 2 number
system. Amazing Birthday Cards never ceases to amaze the students!
Creative Equations Project
The Creative Equations Project
is a group math project that requires students to create equations with a variety of solutions from four given numbers. In the process students
manipulate the given numbers using many mathematical symbols. The project helps students to become fluent
in the use of Order of Operations. It includes work with square roots, factorials,
the proper use of parentheses in equations, and all operational symbols.
Math Shadows Lesson
Math Shadows is
a hands-on, outside the classroom lesson in which students use shadows, similar triangles, and proportions to indirectly measure
the heights of several objects on campus. By measuring the height and shadow of a student and the shadow of
an object (basketball hoop, tree, flagpole) the students can create proportions to mathematically
discover the height of those objects.
Math Madness Classroom Mathematics Tournament
Math Madness is
a classroom mathematics tournament (that can be run simultaneously with the NCAA
Basketball Tournament) that involves problem solving and chance as students try
to become class champion.
Amateur Architect
is a hands-on math project that requires students to read directions and compute fraction
operation problems. Students use the resulting measurements and a ruler to
construct a house and garage.
Humongous Hero is a group project that involves proportions and the use of
scale. Students use proportions and the handprint of the Humongous Hero
to determine its height and body measurements. Then they use a scale to
reduce these measurements down to a proportional size that can be drawn on poster board. Finally, students use proportions
to determine the dimensions of various items owned by the hero.
Proportional Pictures
Proportional Pictures
is a hands-on math project that helps students to discover the relationship between the perimeter
and area of two similar figures.
Who Has Cards is an activity that requires students to solve 40 mental math problems
in a matter of minutes as they take part in this fun review activity.
Each student is given one or more cards with a mental math problem and an answer to another problem. One student starts
by reading his "Who Has...? card and then the student with the answer on his card will say "I have___"
and then read the problem on his card. The activity continues until all 40 cards have been completed. This activity
is perfect for reviewing a concept that has been taught recently.
The three card sets included in this activity are Integer
Operations, Percent of a Number, and Fractions.
There is also a template to create
your own Who Has Card sets included with the download.
The Grade Sheet Lesson teaches students how to record, calculate, and track their math grades.
In doing so the students practice working with fractions, decimals, and percents
and progress to understand the effect of individual grades on their overall class grade. Parents enjoy the immediate
feedback that this tool provides.
