TEKS Math Standard: 1.5.G

Roll three dice and combine them using any mathematical operation. But be strategic to maximize your points!

Can your students figure out how to add fractions by looking for a pattern?

How many different ways can you make this fraction subtraction statement true using only the digits one through nine?

How many different ways can you make this fraction addition statement true using only the digits one through nine?

Typical practice problems don’t move students up Bloom’s Taxonomy. With this framework, you’ll see kids stop and really think about how to approach multi-digit addition.

When we’re adding and subtracting, do evens make odds into evens? Do odds make evens odd? Which one has… more power!?

The commutative and associative properties are a whole lot more interesting when you apply them to a mathematical operation that you created!

Once students understand the order of operations, they often just get stuck doing increasingly difficult practice problems. That’s a sure-fire way to squelch learning, though. Here, students determine where to place parentheses to make the greatest change in an expression.

How many different ways can you make this math statement true using only the digits one through nine?

How many different ways can you make this math statement true using only the digits one through nine?

So, can you write every odd (greater than 3) as the sum of three primes?
