FREE MATH LESSON - “Bell Work Ratios & Proportions Unit 5 7th Grade Math Warm Ups Bell Ringers FREE”

by Kacie Travis
6th - 8th Grade

Who has time to write great Bell Work questions every single morning? No teacher ever! If you’re looking for 7th grade math bell ringers that get students thinking as soon as they walk through the door, this resource is the answer! Also called Bell Ringers, Warm-Ups, Entrance Tickets, Do-Nows, or Morning Work, these 7th-grade math prompts get your students thinking mathematically the second they sit down, making them one of the best classroom management tools you have.

Instead of spending your planning time coming up with a new math warm-up every morning, you’ll have 18 days of ready-to-use Ratio & Proportions questions that keep students practicing important skills while you take attendance, handle those first-of-classroom-morning questions, and get your lesson ready to go.

Here's what makes these different: every single question has a purpose. Each day's set is built either to activate prior knowledge (warming up the exact skill students need for that day's lesson) or to spiral review a skill from earlier in the unit. So instead of random practice, your students are constantly circling back to prior concepts... which means those skills actually stick through test day and beyond. Also, they are simple and straightforward questions, so Bell Work does not take too much of the class period.

What You'll Receive

18 days of questions with 4 questions per day (72 total questions)
Editable Google Slides version, so you can tweak anything to match your pacing (linked in PDF)
Editable PowerPoint version with the same flexibility
Printable PDF, 4 per page for easy printing and copying (great for Interactive Notebooks)
Answer keys included, so you can check work in seconds instead of solving everything yourself

The 18 days are laid out to cover the whole unit arc: two days of Unit 4review before you begin, daily sets aligned to each lesson, a mid-unit checkpoint, mixed practice, plus test review and test day warm-ups. Skip days or rearrange them. The editable versions make it yours.

Concepts and Skills Covered (Unit 5: Ratios and Proportions)

understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities
use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems
use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities
compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas, and other quantities measured in like or different units
solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed
decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship
recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities
solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures

Perfect for 7th-grade math, Pre-Algebra, and middle school math intervention or review.

FREE MISC. LESSON - “Free Textbook and Calculator Sign Out Sheet Google Doc”

by Grasshopper Mathematics
9th - 12th Grade

Simple Google doc that allows for 20 student names with textbook number and calculator number.

I had a paper copy for years but have found that creating a digital version was way simpler for me to find and keep up to date.

Comes with three pages enough for three classes but easy to manipulate for any class. I can easily find who owes me a textbook at the end of the year and can easily keep the list from year to year in case they return the textbook at a later date.
