Math Problem of the Day Google Slides: Gr 7-8

Product Description

This bundle includes 20 ready to assign problems for Google Slides for every month of the year. That’s 240 math warm-ups!

Each month includes slides with a different theme, but they do not say the month on the slide, so you can use these anytime of the year. There are blank slides which allow you to fully customize this set to meet the needs of your students.

Use the blank slide to type in additional math problems to focus on a specific skill or create additional problems.

Each day, you can assign or present a problem to your students to solve.

First, students explain their steps or thinking in words. This forces students to think about what they’re doing and why and learn to articulate or justify their reasoning to others.

Second, they then take it a step further and try to come up with their own math problem with the same solution.

NOTE: Each solution is a whole number, to allow for mental math practice and to also help students to come up with their own problem. If you would prefer something else, you can add additional problems on the blank slides.

A complete answer key is also included, for your convenience.

MATH CONCEPTS COVERED:

Because the focus of these tasks is mental math practice and skills review, the math problems focus on 6th-7th grade math skills.

This allows students to review important concepts, while also focusing on writing about and justifying their thinking.

This includes the following concepts:

• Order of operations
• Fraction & decimal operations
• Percent
• Evaluating expressions
• Solving equations
• Word problems and math vocabulary
• Exponents & square roots
• GCF & LCM
• Area & perimeter
• Surface area & volume
