7th Grade Applied Math PowerPoint Presentations

This is a google slideshow that I use to help students (and their parents) understand my expectations on an MYP Criterion D Assessment.

I use multiple specific examples to show what it means to

• Describe vs. Explain the level of accuracy
• Determine if the answer makes sense in the context

After teaching 6th grade math in a few years, I've learned that students often don't know what it means to "explain the accuracy" of their answer or to determine if it makes sense in the context of the problem. This is designed to help clarify the expectations that they will see throughout MYP.

I do this after our first Criterion D quiz. All examples are from the quiz.

This includes a slideshow and corresponding notes sheet to help students really understand what happens when you add and subtract integers using a silly but relatable analogy. The slideshow and notes includes 5 examples with the question on one slide and the answer on the next. The practice includes guided practice (using the same analogy) and many more bare problems for students to internalize the thought process.

The Sieve of Eratosthenes...you've been teaching it for years! Here's a new twist on the concept. Check out nicely the numbers fall into place when you use this format.

This PowerPoint includes:
-A ten slide presentation of the Sieve of Eratosthenese.

-Slide progression is already inserted into the PowerPoint. All you have to do is click!

-The last slide is a printable Student Handout that allows them to follow along with the presentation...definitions, Prime Numbers, and Composite Numbers.
