I love this class project to work together scaling up a picture – piece by piece! It comes together at random, surprising everyone with the result!
This project can be easily adapted to any grade level – students work together in groups to add up a math problem as fast as they can…. on balloons! They have to think fast while keeping the balloon steady enough for them to write on!
In the Spring Word Problems Solve and Snip students will read a word problem and then solve the problem by showing work in the show work area. All the problems are spring themed and fun!
Another great example of math meets art – but in 3D! Have students use proportions to scale up their favorite candies.
This page has ALL SORTS of great middle school math center ideas that are creative and engaging!
Grudgeball is a fun review game that students actually beg to play! Even if they’ve mastered whatever concepts you’re currently covering, this game helps get the cabin fever epidemic under control.
This hands-on measuring activity involves 3-d objects in different sizes, kids love it!
In this activity, students cut out 24 puzzle pieces with different representations of slope (graphs, tables, equations, coordinate pairs, right triangles) and fit same-slope pieces together.
This game LOOKS so much like an average game from Target that kids wont realizing they’re learning while having fun! Sumoku is like a crossword game, but with numbers.
Kids LOVE hands-on activities, which is why interactive notebooks are so awesome for the classroom! But need something outside of the notebooks? Try this collection of hands-on math activities.

Kids tend to dislike word problems for good reason, but with this book – word problems are more engaging! It’s done in a way that students get excited to solve a mystery… they just have to use math to solve it!
