Middle School Math: Taxable Income, Income Tax Game Using Percentages (Easel)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
This is a real-life lesson that encourages students to evaluate taxable income based on one's income and the marginal tax bracket. Kids will love this and have a great time discussing the occupations and how much each is taxed. This lesson does not go as far as to discuss personal deductions and standard deductions, which would lower your taxable income. That is for another day. This is a simple introduction to how Federal taxes are collected.
Focuses on taxable Income, understanding taxes, calculating taxes
Easel Activity Included
OBJECTIVE
MATERIALS
PREPARATION
o Set up the classroom desks or tables so that students are sitting in groups of two or three.
INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)
Ask students:
Available with purchase
GAME INSTRUCTIONS
Divide students into groups of two or three. Each group will receive a set of Occupation Game Cards. It is suggested that you laminate the cards, cut them, and place them in zip-lock bags so they can be used every year.
Students will be directed to place all cards face down. Distribute the Marginal Tax Bracket Chart.
Students within the group will take turns turning over an Occupation Game Card. Each will write the occupation, taxable income, and income tax percent using the Marginal Tax Bracket Chart provided on each student’s activity sheet (see below). Students will work together to calculate the income tax and lifetime total.
Alternative: you may have students compete against those within their team as another way to play, rather than having one group compete against the other groups in the class. Whatever works best for your students and classroom environment is the best route to take.
The goal is to reach a lifetime total of 100,000 taxable incomes to win. This will require multiple games, or to make it more challenging, raise the Lifetime taxable income goal to 150,000 or 200,000, which will make the game run longer.
Students can create charts on notebook paper for additional games.
Once they reach the lifetime goal, they win that round. Then have them play again.

Middle School Math: Road Trip Across the USA, Measurement & Calculations
By Geography & Math Made Easy
This activity incorporates math with geography:
It encourages students to problem solve and to accurately use a map scale to plan a round-trip throughout the United States. Students will use higher-thinking skills to calculate distances, mileage, driving times, and gas costs. Your students will have a blast with this activity and find ownership in their work. Instructions include great tips on using yarn to teach students to calculate distances on a road map.
This lesson will require each team has a large laminated road map that can be purchased through or donated by your local stores, such as Walmart or Target.
If you have a way to make poster-sized maps, you can google the road maps of America and there are many that can be found.

Double Bubble Car Wash: Beginning of the Year Problem Solving Math Activity (PP)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Note this is a PowerPoint Presentation & Activity, all in one.
Double Bubble Car Wash: Intro. to Problem Solving through Depth and Complexity
The beginning of the year problem-solving activity is designed to engage your students with mathematical reasoning and critical thinking.
Part1:
Open-ended problem with no correct answer as long as students are able to prove their solution with mathematical evidence.
Part II:
Four unique extensions of the original problem using depth and complexity icons.
Can be used with multiple grade levels depending on their multiplication readiness. Originally designed for gifted 5th-grade students.
Solution: While it is likely not possible for a single-lane, single-franchise car wash to produce millions of satisfied customers each year, multiple-lane, multiple-franchise car washes could certainly support their claim.

KaBoom Cards Bundle One | Arithmetic
By LittleStreams
These KaBoom cards are a fun way to practice key arithmetic skills, with differentiation built in. Players choose whether they want to choose an easier question (red), but will receive less points for their correct answer, or risk a more challenging question (green) and gain greater rewards.
Packs included are
- Order of Operations
- Times Tables
- Multiplying and Dividing
- Factors and Multiples
- Addition and Subtraction
Begin by laying all the cards out face down (so you see only the number of points they are worth). Players take turns to select a card, either red, yellow or green. The difficulty of the questions will increase. They may also pick up either a Steal Card, giving them a chance to steal from any other player, a Shield, which protects them from the next KaBoom, and KaBoom cards which means you lose all your collected points so far.
Play as a whole class in teams, or print multiple copies to play in small groups around the table. If students get the answer incorrect, or they need some help, you as the teacher decides whether you will allow them another guess or not. Questions answered incorrectly go in the ‘house’ pile, along with any cards lost in a KaBoom. At the end of the game, add up the ‘house’ pile. The winner is the player or team with the highest points (including any shield cards that have been unused). The house can win.
Included are two copies of the game; one designed for a double sided printer and one designed for single sided printing where you need to turn over the pages yourself to print double sided.
Full instructions are included as are answers.
