Math Skills Activities for Use with Newspapers.
Sadowski, Barbara
This document includes 50 activities for reinforcement, practice, and maintenance of basic mathematics skills. Activities are designed for middle school students. Skills include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals as well as graphing and measurement. Activities are based upon a daily newspaper and require students to use the display ads, home, movies and TV, sports, stock market, and weather sections. Each page lists a specific mathematics skill, an estimate of time needed for students to complete the activity, and an extension activity for able or interested students. Pages are reproducible. A reproducible activity record sheet is included. (DC)
