NO PREP!! Math with Movies- Sky High

Math teachers rarely can get away with a "movie day", while other teachers can find a way to relate the movie to their current topic- there are so little math movies as is! Why not play a movie the kids will enjoy, while they work on some grade level equivalent math that is standards based AND challenging for them?

This is a fun and unique activity to bring into your mathematics classroom that I use before any breaks (Spring Break, Thanksgiving Break, etc). Not only does this engage your students, but they have fun with it!

This resource was created to give students a little bit of what they want before break (to watch movies), and give me a little bit of what I wanted before break (review of skills taught this year so far), thus my Math with Movies activity was created!

Each question is California State Common Core aligned and accompanies the movie "Sky High". This activity includes 10 questions for students to answer as the movie goes on, about one question every 5-10 minutes. This is a NO PREP classroom activity! All you need to do is print the worksheet, turn on the movie, and relax. Students will independently work on the problems during the movie.

The questions cover the topics of 7th grade: Ratios & Proportions, The Number System, and Expressions & Equations. This is all I have covered by the time my students get to complete this task. However, it is editable if you choose to change problems or challenge your students more!

I hope you enjoy this activity as much as I do!
