Middle School Math Resources by Topic

I have sorted my middle school math resources into six main categories:

Number System and Operations
Ratios, Rates, and Proportional Relationships
Expressions and Equations
Geometry
Statistics and Probability
Functions and Coordinate Graphing

Number System and Operations

Build fluency with operations on whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and integers. Students will explore factors, multiples, absolute value, and rules for working with positive and negative numbers.

Factors and Multiples

Fractions and Decimals

Integers

Absolute Value

Ratios, Rates, and Proportional Relationships

Help students make sense of relationships between quantities through ratio reasoning, unit rates, and proportions. These activities lay the groundwork for understanding percent, scale, and real-world problem solving.

Expressions and Equations

Develop algebraic thinking as students learn to write, simplify, and solve expressions and equations. These lessons help students connect arithmetic to algebra through patterns, properties, and problem solving.

Order of Operations

Combining Like Terms

Distributive Property

Geometry

Engage learners in exploring shapes, angles, area, surface area, and volume. These resources help students reason about geometric relationships and apply formulas in both abstract and real-world contexts.

Statistics and Probability

Encourage data-driven thinking through investigations involving data collection, graphs, and probability experiments. Students will analyze distributions, calculate measures of center and variability, and make inferences based on data.

Functions and Coordinate Graphing

Introduce students to the concept of functions and relationships between variables. Activities focus on graphing points, identifying patterns, and using equations to represent linear and nonlinear relationships.
