Negative Numbers: Understanding Their Use

Created by
David Purnell
This 26-slide PowerPoint presentation serves as an introduction to negative numbers. It begins with a simulation about sea level and leads into real-world examples of negative numbers that include temperature, golf scoring, and personal budget surplus/deficit. Also covered are opposites and defining a zero point. This presentation can be covered in under 30 minutes. Use it for a full class lesson or for individuals who need to gain more understanding or missed the lesson. The content is based on

Distributive Property: Changing Expressions

Created by
David Purnell
This 22-slide PowerPoint presentation demonstrates how to use common factors and the distributive property to change an expression. Addition problems involving whole numbers are changed into a multiplication problem which is the product of the greatest common factor of the addends and the sum of two whole numbers that have no GCF other than "1". The content is based on 6th grade Common Core standard: CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.B.4. The presentation takes about 30 minutes, but time considerations dep

Give your students a taste of Wall Street in this stock market simulation. With 70 slides of educational entertainment, your students will get lost in the story, the drama and the competitive nature of trading shares. This is not your average slideshow. Students will develop the Mathematical ability and business savvy to buy and sell shares while working intricately as a team. They will need to think critically, as they consider each of their choices based on an ever changing story line which

Absolute Value: Distance & Magnitude

Created by
David Purnell
This 18-slide PowerPoint presentation introduces students to the concept of absolute value. Material is presented that would satisfy Common Core standard CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.C.7.C. The definition of absolute value is based on the distance from the number to zero on a number line. Magnitude is defined and discussed in detail. Simulation, examples, and practice are incorporated. The presentation can be used for full class participation or individual use. It's great for use on student accessible

Ordered Pairs: Quadrants & Signs

Created by
David Purnell
This 16-slide PowerPoint presentation stresses quadrant location and the signs of the ordered pairs that fall into each particular quadrant. It assumes prior knowledge of plotting & identifying points in the coordinate plane. Examples lead students to try to first figure out on their own what a set of un-plotted order pairs have in common. The pairs will fall in the same quadrant and all x-coordinate signs will match as well as all y-coordinates matching. Students can take a 5-question quiz

Number Lines: Distance between Points

Created by
David Purnell
This 23-slide PowerPoint presentation is recommended as useful instruction before learning to calculate distance between points in a coordinate plane (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.C.8). It is meant for students who have already learned about absolute value, but have not learned about basic operations involving negative numbers yet (i.e. addition/subtraction). Students will learn how to calculate the distance between any two points on a number line using their absolute values. They will see that this s

Ordered Pairs: Sign Changes & Reflections

Created by
David Purnell
This 20-slide PowerPoint presentation tests and develops three rules involving reflections resulting from sign changes in an ordered pair. The three rules involve changing the x-coordinate sign only, changing the y-coordinate sign only, and changing both coordinate's signs. Thus the result is reflection across the y-axis, reflection across the x-axis, and reflection across the origin, respectively. Students are expected to have previous knowledge of plotting & identifying ordered pairs, iden

Statements of Inequality: Writing, Explaining & Interpreting

Created by
David Purnell
This 16-slide PowerPoint presentation uses a three-step process to compare different numbers. Writing a statement of inequality using the numbers an correct inequality symbol is the 1st step. Explaining in words what the statement of inequality means is the 2nd step. The 3rd step is to interpret the relative position of each number on a number line (both horizontal & vertical number lines are used). Positive & negative numbers are both used in examples. Those viewing this presentation ha

Absolute Value: Understanding Comparisons

Created by
David Purnell
This 18-slide PowerPoint presentation goes deeper into understanding absolute value. It demonstrates the difference between comparing two numbers and comparing the absolute value of two numbers. Real-world examples are given to help students better understand the material. Completely review the presentation so you can decide how best to use it in your curriculum. The content is based on Common Core standard CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.C.7.D. The instruction assumes that the student has already experi

Least Common Multiple

Created by
David Purnell
This 18-slide PowerPoint presentation uses word problems to explore the role of multiples in solving them. It begins with defining a multiple before being introduced to problems involving common multiples. In the first problem you're looking for several common multiples over a period of time. The second problem is looking for the next time an events occur simultaneously (LCM). After summarization there is a problem students can work along with solution so they can check their work.

The Coordinate Plane: Points in Two Dimensions

Created by
David Purnell
This 22-slide PowerPoint presentation serves as an introduction to the coordinate plane. It begins by defining a coordinate plane and explaining its uses. Then construction of the plane, its parts, and terminology are covered. The rest of the presentation explains and simulates how to plot ordered pairs and how to determine ordered pairs for points already plotted. Fractional values and coordinates of zero are included in the simulation as well. The content is based on Common Core standard CCSS.

Let's Eat Out - a math restaurant activity

Create a real life math activity by having kids work out decimal math and percents problems in a "virtual restaurant" in your classroom. Print out or obtain to-go menus from a restaurant. Then, arrange your classroom like tables in a restaurant. (I actually acted like a maitre d' and "sat" students as they entered.) Provide students the task directions on one side, and the sales ticket and credit card slip on the back (in this file). Students determine the cost of their bill and the tip. Can

Interactive Power Pole Understanding Positive and Negative Numbers

This interactive exercise allows students to see in real time the logic of positive and negative numbers. It is a real life scenario as a new employee of a power company, they must learn how to set a power pole. By entering the length of the pole in the first column, and how deep of a hole the pole must be placed in as a negative number, the resulting amount is populated in the third column which represents the amont of the pole that will remain above ground. In the chart to the right, studen

Creating Equivalent Ratios using Moveable Color Tiles in PowerPoint

This PowerPoint was created to help my students visually and manually learn and practice with equivalent ratios. There are 5 pages (or slides if uploaded to Google Classroom, etc.). Each of these pages has the student moving colored tiles to create a ratio and, then, creating equivalent ratios by adding the same number of tiles to the previous tiles.There are summary-type questions, too, so that the student repeats what was discovered.After the “hands-on” exercises, there are three written probl

Negative Numbers: Extending The Number Line

Created by
David Purnell
This is a short 10-slide PowerPoint presentation that shows how to convert a number line with positive numbers into a number line that includes both positive & negative numbers. It also describes opposites as well. Symmetry is described and used to extend the number line. You would probably spend about 15-20 minutes of class time to cover the content in this presentation. The content is based on Common Core standard CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.C.6a under the domain Number System. Use the presenta
