Homophone Hop

Have students take turns jumping down the mat and calling out the words as they land on each.
Grade 2, Grade 3

Function Genius

On note cards, write numbers (for x column) and several different functions. Place a function notecard at the top of the y=f(x) column.

Students will solve the functions for y and place their answer on a notecard in the right column.

Task card examples:
x=4+6
x=3+8
x=9 x 5
x=2+9
x=3 x 7
x= 10 + 2
X= 24+ 6
x= 10 -5
X= 15-8
X= 20- 18

Grade 8

Matching

Write all of the percentages/fractions/decimals from the mat on note cards. Cover up all of the examples of one type of number, such as all of the percentages, all of the decimals, or all of the fractions on the mat.. Have students take turns matching a note card to its place on the mat. For example,if you cover all the percentages on the mat, write them all on note cards. A student may pick a card that says 75% and lay it onto the ¾ block on the mat.

Grade 6, Grade 7

Equivalence

Cover up all of the examples of one type of number, such as all of the percentages, all of the decimals, or all of the fractions on each block of the mat. Have students figure out what each would be based on the other information given on the block. For example, for the â…“ block, cover the decimal and ask the students what the equivalent decimal would be to one third/33.33%.

Grade 6, Grade 7

Percentage

Use this mat to help students understand the relationships of fractions, decimals, and percentages.
Sample Questions:
What is equivalent to 300%?
What fraction?_____________ What decimal?________________
What is equivalent to 200%?
What fraction?_____________ What decimal?________________
What is equivalent to 325%?
What fraction?_____________ What decimal?________________
What is equivalent to 225%?
What fraction?_____________ What decimal?________________
What is equivalent to 475%?
What fraction?_____________ What decimal?________________

Grade 6, Grade 7

Adding and Subtracting Positive and Negative Fractions

Important: Have students face the positive numbers when adding and the negative numbers when subtracting, and make a 180 degree turn for each negative sign (not including the first number in the equation). Two negatives require a 360 degree turn canceling the change in direction.
Sample Questions:
4/3 – 5/3 =
-3/4 – 1/4=
10/4 – 7/4=
-5/4 + 7/4=
-3/3 + 4/3=

Grade 6

Clipboard Math

Clip a math worksheet on a clipboard. Have your student figure out the answers to the fraction problems by walking or jumping on the mat.

Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5

Problem Interpretation

Students will read a problem from a worksheet or flashcard. Have them reinterpret it, solve it, and then hop to that answer on the mat.
Examples:
â…“ x 3 = 1…SO…1 x 3 ÷ 3 = 1
¼ X 4 = 1…SO…1 x 4 ÷ 4 = 1
¾ x 3 = 9/4…SO…3 x 3 ÷ 4 = 9/4
3/3 x 8 = 24/3 or 8…SO…3 x 8 ÷ 3 = 8
â…“ x 4 = 4/3…SO..4 x 1 ÷ 3 = 4/3

Grade 4, Grade 5

Bean Bag Division

Follow the same instructions as Bean Bag Addition and Subtraction, but instead of adding or subtracting, have students divide.

Grade 5

Bean Bag Multiplication

Follow the same instructions as Bean Bag Addition and Subtraction, but instead of adding or subtracting, have students multiply.
