Hy-Vee Fuel Saver
Look at the newspaper ad. Is this a linear function?
- If not, explain why not.
- If it is, define an input variable, define an output variable, and write the linear equation using (which relates) the two variables.
- What else can you say about the relationship here?

Visualizing Prime Factorizations Using Blocks – Adamson
Here’s what Jim Adamson Shared
The poster he makes in class showing the numbers represented using colored blocks is here: https://twitter.com/GlenviewMath/status/567824932098465792
The worksheet is here: https://twitter.com/GlenviewMath/status/567844234700726272
This is useful in helping students think multiplicatively, about prime factorizations, and simplifying fractions.

Order of Operations and Line Gem Games
Here are two fun online games.
Order of Operations Game 
This teaches the (yep) order of operations. You click the next operation. You don’t actually do the arithmetic.
Integer version (has negatives) http://bit.ly/1zlVGdw
Line Gem Game
Teaches linear functions. – Y = MX + B

“Late Delivery” game is fun for introducing evaluating expressions (EE)
We have the CCSSM Expressions and Equations (EE) standard in grades 6, 7, and 8. The “Late Delivery” game is fun for introducing evaluating expressions.
It relates to 6.EE1 and 6.EE.6.
It is a shockwave game, so it may not run on an iPad.
