Practice activities

♾️Lean: Proving It for Every NumberHow one proof can cover infinitely many numbers: intro, exact, and the domino idea behind induction.

🌡️Integers and Rational NumbersClassifying numbers, opposites and absolute value, ordering on a number line, fractions as division, reciprocals, integer operations, and multiplying and dividing fractions and decimals.

🎈Balloon Pop: Integers and RatiosCompare integers, find opposites and absolute values, and match equivalent ratios and percents.

🐸Number Line Jump: IntegersNegative numbers, opposites and which is greater.

📈Relationships, Ratios, and PercentsIndependent and dependent quantities, y = kx vs. y = x + b, tables to equations, benchmark percents, fraction-decimal-percent equivalents, unit rates, and converting units.

🚑Ratio RescueRatios, unit rates, and percents.

🏷️Corner Store: Percent OffFind sale prices and savings for 10%, 20%, 25% and 50% off.

⚖️Expressions and EquationsOrder of operations with exponents, prime factorization, expressions vs. equations, equivalent expressions and properties, writing and solving one-step equations and inequalities, and graphing solutions.

📐Area, Volume, and AnglesAngle sum of a triangle, side-angle relationships, area formulas by decomposing shapes, writing and solving area and volume equations, and volume of rectangular prisms.

⚖️Balance ScaleSolve one-step equations by doing the same to both sides.

⛽A Year of Gas PricesTwelve months of real U.S. gas prices: show them in a dot plot, stem-and-leaf plot, histogram and box plot, then find the mean, median, range and IQR. Real data from FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

📦Data: Dot Plots, Histograms, and Box PlotsVariability, dot plots, stem-and-leaf plots, histograms, box plots, center and spread, mean, median, range, IQR, and summarizing categorical data with mode and percents.

💳Money SmartsChecking accounts and debit cards, debit vs. credit, balancing a check register, credit history and credit reports, ways to pay for college, and salaries by education level.

How to help at home

Let your child handle real numbers: a restaurant bill, a discount, miles per gallon.

When they are stuck, ask what the question is asking before touching the numbers.

Celebrate the strategy, not just the answer: what did you try first?
