Scaling Up Candy Bar Project - Scale Factor Project
In this project, the students will use scale factor to enlarge a candy wrapper. The final project will include an enlarged colored candy wrapper along with follow-up questions about the project. They will also have to solve a series of problems involving scale factor. If they finish early, there is an extension to the project that involves using the scale factor with the nutritional information. *I would recommend to create your own centimeter grid paper.

Capacity Bingo Game [AUS] editable
Just like the regular rules of Bingo, a teacher or group leader calls out a figure and students with the corresponding figure are able to cross it off their list.
This colourful version was adapted for the Measurement and Geometry strand of the Australian Curriculum. The teacher or group leader calls out figures in mL or L or percentages/fractions of a L and students mark their grids accordingly.
Students love the colourful game boards and the resource is most effective when it is laminated. H

My STAR Test Goals - Student goal setting for standardized tests
This is a fully editable .DOC file that I have used to help my students set goals for their STAR test throughout the school year.
As a bonus, students can practice their measurement & data skills.
I have used this in a whole group setting, making an anchor chart with good test taking practices in order to help students brainstorm for the "two things I will do to reach my goal". I have also used this leading up to their STAR test and post STAR test during individual student conferencing.

Fraction Recipe Book Project
This is an activity I used to reinforce fraction operations in my 6th grade math class. The students created a class recipe book by each bringing in three of their favorite recipes. They had to include a list of ingredients, as well as instructions for doubling, tripling, or halving the recipe. They had a lot of fun designing their book covers and pages, adding in cooking tips and kitchen advice, and assembling the class book. They each received a copy to take home- and many of them brought
