Unit Conversion (Unit Factor Method) Challenge Stations
I believe unit conversions / stoichiometry / dimensional analysis is one of the most important skills to master. It is so useful in real life, whether traveling internationally, cooking, building, sewing, etc. After the 50th worksheet and word problem, I decided to make activities and stations for my students to practice unit conversions. Each station is set up for a different “real life” scenario that could involve unit conversion. You can modify the scenarios to fit the materials you have, but

Engineering: Weights and Measures Conversion Tables
A weights and measures conversion table is useful when converting and calculating engineering, construction and STEM problem solving projects and activities. It helps students learn how to locate information and convert that information into their calculations. The conversion table also allows teachers to increase the rigor in their activities and problem solving projects by supplying students access to the needed information to accurately calculate a complex problem.

Skittles Proportion Activity
Students are to be provided a bag of skittles. They are going to use proportions and ratios to determine if there are the same number/ratio of each color in all different sized bags.
I had students work in groups of 2 for this activity. Within the activity I broke it up into three different sections; a pre-lab, lab, and post-lab portion. Students make initial guesses/hypothesis, test out their theory, use proportions and ratios to analyze their results and graph data.

Middle School Math Workshop: Red and White Pattern Exploration
Are you using workshop-style lessons in your middle school math classroom? If you're not you should: they are easy to prep for, allow for differentiated learning, and instant assessment.If we want our students to actually learn the facts, concepts, and ideas we’re trying to teach them, they have to experience those things in some way that rises above abstract symbols on paper. They have to process them. Manipulate them.To really learn in a way that will stick, they have to DO something. Worksho
