Newspaper Shoes
Newspaper shoe challenge! One day team building for my 5th and 6th graders. Great end of the year activity with a fashion show at the end of the hour. Uses minimal supplies.
Switch Sides if...
This would be a very fun activity the first week of school! Teacher says a statement (ex. Switch sides if you like hot dogs more than pizza.) and the students either stay or move. The kids could also talk about why they did/didn't move. Fun back to school ice breaker!

Christmas math project for Grades 4-6! If your students can subtract decimals and if they like to color, they will ADORE this math Christmas fun!
Math Error Analysis
Middle School Math ERROR ANALYSIS (6th Grade Math, 7th Grade Math, 8th Grade Math) Giving students opportunities to identify and correct errors in presented solutions allows them to show their understanding of mathematical concepts I have just taught. Every time I use math error analysis activities with my students I am always amazed at how quickly and easily they lead to richer discussions and deeper thinking. Common Core 6RP, 7RP, 8F, 6NS, 7NS, 8NS, 6EE, 7EE, 8EE, 6SP, 7SP, 8SP, 6G, 7G, 8G
