Who is One for the Books?

Hey, I'm Steve and I have been teaching middle school students since 2009. My students
continually push me to create more engaging and rigorous content to ensure their success.
One of my core beliefs in teaching is to worry about teaching students first and standards second.

This is an exceptionally organized, engaging, and challenging activity for students. The hints are a nice addition and the use of Google forms as lockboxes was brilliant.

My 6th graders LOVED this! They were engaged the whole time- I love that students had to use skills that they'd learned previously in order to solve problems- converting between fractions and decimals, reducing fractions, etc. Great resource!
