About This Lesson
Take advantage of the autumn atmosphere to deepen skills in algebra, analogies, fraction-art, and writing. This bundle mixes math thinking with creative flair to keep middle schoolers engaged and learning all season long.
What’s Included?
- Solving Equations “Stew” Activity
Students work through fall-themed equation problems (one-step, multi-step) in a friendly “stew” format—mixing in like terms, balancing, and simplifying. - Fall Analogies Practice
Exercises focused on analogies to strengthen reasoning and vocabulary—perfect for building critical thinking and reading comprehension. - One-Step Equations Fall Color-by-Number
A math art worksheet: solve one-step equations, then use the answers to reveal a fall image via color-by-number. - Fall Foliage Fraction Math Art
A creative activity combining fractions with art—students work with parts of leaves, color segments, or foliage patterns to explore fraction concepts visually. - Fall Poem Writing Activity
A writing challenge: students compose a short poem capturing fall imagery, sensations, or moods—tying in ELA standards and creative expression.
