In this activity, students will first begin by exploring the area and perimeter.  Tell your students to make a shape that has a specific area or perimeter and then give them time to explore and create.  As you go, make the math challenges more difficult.  When they have had a chance to explore, have them play the game.  The challenge is to see how many levels they can complete.  Keep in mind that the last level is unique in that students now have to create a shape with a specific area while creating a fraction of the shaded color like the second image below.

Students solve these array problems by counting the images down and across and then multiplying the numbers.

This was created for those couple of days leading up to Halloween, you know, when kids have gone "spooky" themselves. In this pack, teachers will get 60 bingo cards and two call sheets. The bingo cards are in two different stacks. One stack is for the teacher to call out the products and the students have to find the equations. The other stack has the teacher calling out the equations, while the students have to find the products. Each card is unique and there are 68 equations and products ranging from the 1s to the 12s.

This worksheet reviews the concept of area and perimeter.  Types of questions include the area of irregular shape, adding the total area of two rectangles, area, and perimeter word problems, creating rectangles with the same area but different perimeters, finding the unknown sides, and length times width.

Students will first roll a number cube. This number will then let students know how many of the 10 animals need to be eliminated/subtracted. They will cross that many off. They will then create a number sentence to mathematically explain how they end up with fewer animals.

Review patterns with students.  The patterns included are skip counting, multiplication table, and input-output tables.

This website gives teachers the ability to quickly create random numbers that can be used for adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, order of operations, finding rules, and learning to substitute values.  The spinners can be used with 2 to 12 sections in each spinner.  You can have up to 4 spinners.  It also contains a timer in which you can quickly turn the spinners into fun and visual activities.  Watch the YouTube Video on using the spinners to see how it can be used.

This is a Smartboard large button program that displays flashcards.  I have my students in teams and we play two-minute relay games where the team selects and answers and then moves to the end of the team.  The team that wins is the one that answered the most correct multiplication or division problems. You can also select add and subtract.
