Math 6: Call out an attribute of a polygon and have the students use strips to create it on the floor.
Math 6: Extension activity: have the students "discover" formulas for area of a triangle, parallelogram and trapezoid.

Math 8: Give individuals/partners a set of cards to arrange to complete properties.

     Give the property name and the beginning of an example.  Then students arrange their cards to complete the property.
     Suggested cards:  (  =  )  +  +  ∙   ∙    -7   0   7   1   ¹/₇   9   0
     On overhead/SmartBoard show  (-7 + 1) + 0 =
     Students arrange cards to complete:
            Associative Property
     Use the same expression (-7 + 1) + 0 =
     Students arrange cards to complete:
            Commutative Property
    Same expression.  Then
            Identity Property of Addition

Math 6: Add identifying the "important " data or needed numbers; identify the distractors; continue to use this method for word problem solving.

Math 7: Change content to classifying polygons (use polygons as the universe, with interior sets of triangles, quadrilaterals, and then classify within triangles and quadrilaterals).

Math 8: Triangle/3-D Shapes Capture: Pictures of  triangles/3-D figures face-up. Students select cards which describe the shapes.  Read the card and claim the corresponding picture.

Math 7: Use other statistics than birthday.

Math 6: Limit the number of shapes used and present the robot describing the attributes of each shape.
Math 6: Make a 3D robot out of nets (flat representations of 3D objects) or make a drawing. Students can also match the "flat" nets with the 3D object.
Math 6: Find the area, surface area or volume of the 3D robot.

HILT: Adapt to review money, addition and subtraction, withdrawal and deposit.

Math 7: Use reader's theater for geometry vocabulary.

Math 7: Use different colored cubes to represent fractions, then change the fractions to decimals and percents.

Math 6: Identify fractions, decimals, and percents.

HILT: Review with basic math terms.

Math 6, 7, and 8: Change content to fractions/decimals/percents.
Math 6 and 7: Change content to integers.
Math 7: Change content to US customary or metric measurements.

Math 6: Use with finding equivalent US customary units of measurements (i.e. 4 cups = ? quarts).

Math 7: Play the game outside!

Math 6: Use with improper fractions/mixed numbers.
Math 6: Use with equivalent ratios.
Math 6: Use nets (flat representations of 3D objects) and the 3D model.
Math 7: Use with quadrilaterals.

Math 7: Use with polygons.
Math 7: Use with transformations.

Math 8: Have students organize the items and record the information in a matrix.
Math 8: Relate the groups to percents.

Math 8: Include on the chart rows for students to express the fractions as equivalent decimals and percents.
Math 8: Code the boxes of the chart with alpha codes.  Then have students evaluate expressions such as A + G or 2N.  This provides practice with fraction and whole number computation and algebraic substitution.

Math 8: Take a quick survey. Create a pie chart. Use the pie chart to discuss proportion, percent, ratio, probability.

Math 8: Ratio based on movie tickets and boxes of popcorn instead of roses. Students could write names of favorite movies on the tickets.
