Are you in the market for some fabulous middle school math resources? Maybe you did a grade change, or maybe you are just looking for some additional tried and true must haves. I have rounded up my favorite middle school math resources. These are all products that I have bought, used and love in my own room!

If you are looking for 3rd grade or 5th grade favorites, jump on over!

Side note: I have bought all of the resources I include. If there’s a *, they are for sale in my shop.

Bundles

• 6th/7th/8th Grade Math Bundle ($315) This is EVERYTHING I use to teach 6th grade! This bundle has it all: notes, homework, bell work, tests, quizzes, stations, games, activities. Buy this and you won’t need anything additional. It is quite the purchase, but everything is so thought out. Also included are answer keys, pacing guides, unit plans, and I can statements.

Activities

• Pairs Check Coloring ($3) These are such a hit in my classroom! Kiddos love being able to work with a partner and color while doing math! I love that they are print and go and even self-checking.
• Stations ($3) I love a great set of stations that are already thought up and made for me! Adding in stations is a great way to up the engagement in your room and are perfect for reviewing before tests.
• Mad Libs ($6) My middle schoolers LOVED Mad Libs. They are an easy way to get kids moving and are easy to check at the end. This fraction set is one I own, but she has tons of other options!
• Reflection Fan ($5.50) I used this mainly for extension and options for fast finishers. It was super easy to grab, flip open and use for discussions or open ended responses. I honestly use the prompts in other subjects too!
• *Tic Tac Toe Boards ($8) This set is perfect for differentiation during station time. Kiddos love getting to play with a partner and I love that it is print and go!

Notes & Lessons

• Guided Notes ($3) My state’s standards didn’t originally match up perfectly with that of the bundle I mentioned above so I had to add in a unit. These notes are well-thought out, easy to follow and give tons of practice.
• Notes Bundle ($30) When I moved to 8th grade in the middle of the year, I was thrown for a loop! Luckily this unit had everything I needed: notes, warmups, exit tickets, practice and a test! She does sell a complete bundle of everything for 8th grade but I only bought this unit.
• Unit Bundle ($11) I love everything this shop makes so when I taught 8th, I knew that I would be picking up a bundle to use. This has all the notes, homework, quiz, study guide and test ready to go!
