Foldables

I created this graphing functions using input/output tables foldable for my Algebra 1 students to put in their interactive notebooks. After graphing the “Win Some Cash!” functions, we did some more graphing functions practice.  After graphing each function, students had to classify the function as linear, absolute value, quadratic, or exponential. We needed lots of …

I created this writing functions foldable to give my Algebra 1 students practice both writing functions and using them to solve problems. My students found these problems to be a bit difficult. I think we should have spent more time practicing these than we did. Free Download of Writing Functions Foldable

I created this graphing stories foldable for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. I was a bit short on time, so I just ended up using the same graphing stories foldable as last year. Here are close-ups of the two tasks inside. I found both of these tasks online. The problems …

Well, it turns out that I still have posts in my drafts folder from last year. I guess I should do something about that.  The Skill: Comparing Data Sets The Topic: Ages of Academy Award Winners The Introduction: Ask students what they expect to happen. This was a difficult task for my students. It turns …

Last year was the first year that non-standard operations made an appearance in Oklahoma’s math standards. That was also the year that I mistakenly thought that I would just throw non-standard operations into the same skill as evaluating expressions. After all, they are pretty much the same thing, right? Though I may have thought so …

Quick post today to share another foldable I made for my chemistry class. Holt’s Modern Chemistry textbook places a big emphasis on differentiating between three different types of research at the beginning of the year. To help my students keep these straight, I made a types of chemical research foldable for them to glue in …

I created this foldable to give my Algebra 1 students some practice with the order of operations. These were definitely complex problems. I wrote them to involve negatives with exponents, absolute value bars, radicals, and fractions. One of the key skills I am trying to teach my algebra students is that there are more types …

The chemistry textbook I am following this year (Holt Modern Chemistry) begins with an examination of the six main branches of chemistry. I decided to give students a foldable to glue in their notebooks so they would have the definitions of each of these branches. At first, I considered having the students write all six …

I’m pretty proud of how the states of matter foldable I designed for my chemistry class turned out! We put this foldable in our chemistry interactive notebooks. The outside of the foldable shows the states of matter in order of the amount of energy present. It also gives students a place to write the name …

I used this estimating 30 seconds data collection activity with my Algebra 1 students, and it turned out to be a ton of fun. How well can you estimate 30 seconds?  This is the question I posed to my Algebra 1 students a couple of weeks ago as part of our unit on data analysis. …

I created this graphing geometric sequences foldable to wrap up our sequences unit in Algebra 1. After working with finding rules and terms, I decided I still needed my students to wrap their minds around how the graph of a geometric sequence differed from the graphs we had previously made for arithmetic sequences. After graphing …

I created this foldable to teach finding the rule for an arithmetic sequence by graphing to my Algebra 1 students. As I posted before, this is my first year teaching sequences in Algebra 1.  The new Oklahoma math standards (OAS) include this standard: A1.A.3.5 Recognize that arithmetic sequences are linear using equations, tables, graphs, and …

I created this multiplying radicals practice book foldable for my Algebra students to glue in their interactive notebooks. Free Download of Multiplying Radicals Practice Book

I created this adding and subtracting radicals practice book for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. We completed this practice book after filling out our adding and subtracting radicals graphic organizer. Since the practice book doesn’t take up much of the page, I told my students that they could use this …

I put together this rearranging equations for y foldable for my Algebra 1 students. Since the first step I have my students do to graph inequalities is to rearrange them into slope-intercept form, I decided to do a bit of practice.   But, here’s my silly mistake.  I should have made these inequalities to rearrange …

I created these graphing linear inequalities practice books for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. Book 1 And, this is what I get for picking random problems.  Did you notice that all of the graphs ended up being greater than except the last one?  I was SO frustrated when I realized …

We started our systems of equations unit in Algebra 1 with this writing systems of equations foldable. Free Download of Writing Systems of Equations Foldable

I decided to follow up our glow stick demonstration with an effervescent tablet lab. This, sadly, did not go that well.  I assumed that my students would be able to design their own experiments.  My groups tried to do this, but most groups didn’t pay attention to what data they would need to collect.  My …

I created this types of systems foldable to summarize the different types of systems my students would be dealing with in physical science. I brought some props from home to help us wrap our mind around the different types of systems. The cooking pot without the lid was an example of an open system.  The …

I created this predicting products of chemical reactions foldable for my physical science students to glue in their interactive notebooks. After we had learned about the different types of reactions, it meant we were ready to learn to predict the products of a reaction. I created a basketball review game to review predicting products that …

I created this classifying reactions foldable for my physical science students to give them some basic classifying reactions practice. In this foldable, students are given a chemical equation which they must then classify as synthesis, combusion, decomposition, single displacement, or double displacement. We did thirteen of these classifying reactions problems together. Free Download of Classifying …

I created this types of chemical reactions foldable for my physical science students to glue in their interactive notebooks. We took a tiny break from balancing chemical equations to classify chemical equations.  I created this foldable to summarize the different types of reactions: In the future, I would put synthesis and combustion on the foldable …

I created this writing and balancing chemical equations foldable for my physical science students to complete and glue in their interactive notebooks. We completed this after our basic balancing equations foldable. After we had the hang of balancing chemical equations, I had them translate the equations from words to symbols and then balance them. Free …

I created this balancing equations foldable for my physical science classes. We began our chemical reactions unit in physical science by balancing chemical equations.   When I took chemistry in high school, I ADORED balancing equations.  Each problem was like a mini-puzzle.  And, I love puzzles! I put a circle in front of each reactant …
