FREE MATH LESSON - “FOIL Free Activity”

by Mathspiration
8th - 12th Grade


Differentiate and add versatility to helping students practice multiplying binomials with the FOIL technique.

This is the free version of FOIL: Luck of the Draw

This version includes the easy level strips, but not the medium, or challenge levels which allow further differentiation according to skill/ability level. If you would like to further differentiate you should purchase the full version!

Students will draw two binomial slips from the difficulty level they are using and then FOIL the binomials on the strips. Students will then return the slips to the cups and draw again.

There are several ways you can use this activity:
1) General practice where students can work in groups, pairs, or individually.
a. You can separate students into ability groups for tiered differentiation.
b. Set out all three levels (labeled on the cups) in the room and allow students to choose which sets to use.
d. Or use stations for students to progressively build up to more challenging problems.
2) As a game in small groups where students can race to find the solution based on the slips drawn. The other group members also complete the problem/check the solutions and act as referees. Students can take turns racing and refereeing.
3) As a game in a whole class setting where student race to find the correct solution and the rest of the class follows along, or the whole class responds with individual white boards. Or the class can race the teacher.

Included in the activity is an answer sheet for students to record their responses. Suggestions to expand the activity and include higher level thinking and easy level binomials strips (color coded only).

There is no answer key provided because the nature of the game creates a large number of possible correct answers...too large to effectively check with any answer key.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “PALS Reading Strategy Cooperative Worksheet”

by Kim Kroll
5th - 10th Grade


This Worksheet is great for ANY reading selection.

PALS is a very effective reading strategy. Unlike class reading, where minds tend to wander, the PALS method actively engages every student. Each student must be reading or listening (in order to write the summary) at all times.

Partners motivate and help each other, if needed. Cooperative learning is experienced. Fluency and comprehension improve.

This product include an "example." Students get a chance to see the process before they are expected to participate.

Enjoy!

FREE SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON - “Ancient Greece: Minoan Frescoes”

by Skool Aid Products
6th - 8th Grade


Minoan Frescoes is an excerpt from my presentation of Ancient Greece: The Minoan and Mycenae Civilizations
The Minoan language has yet to be deciphered and the main source of information on them is from their frescoes and artifacts. These frescoes give students an unparalleled opportunity to experience being archaeologists. So I put together a series of Minoan frescoes paired with guiding questions to lead the students on a journey of historic discovery. How do their observations stand up to those of archaeologists and historians? Try the sample in your classroom, the complete Minoan presentation is 173 slides and handouts and explores in depth the entire archaeological discovery by Sir Arthur Evans and new information unearthed since then. Your students will love it, and be highly engaged in this style of learning.
Product format:
PowerPoint Show made with Microsoft 10
Features include: slide sorter, laser pointer, digital pen, high lighter, and presenter’s notes. This makes it possible to add or highlight notes directly onto the slides. It is possible to check out these features on the preview, by right clicking on the screen. A tool box will appear so that you can experiment with the various tools.
Topics:
Minoan Frescoes
Contents:
10 slides
T Chart for predictions
Teaching time:
about 1 class period
