This is an 18x24 size poster that I have laminated in my classroom. This is all the 8 mathematical practices in teen friendly wording.
This printable is posted at all my whiteboard team stations. This is a great way to get students talking. Pushed heavily at the beginning of the year, and referenced throughout the year if groups are struggling with where to start.
These are ways students are suggested to work together when at the Vertical Non Permanent surfaces (VNPS). This poster is hanging at each team whiteboard. These ideas are taken directly from BTC model (Building thinking classrooms)
This Langage and Content Objective is posted daily on each of the team whiteboards. It hangs all year and serves the purpose of having my objectives posted, while still allowing students do use discovery to uncover the lesson each day.
Every teacher knows that a seating chart is fundamental to classroom management. A carefully constructed seating chart helps make sure the class runs smoothly, and all students can reach their full potential.

Students act as engineers contracted by NASA to create water filtration devices that clean visible particulates from teacher-prepared "dirty water." They learn about the worldwide need for potable water and gain appreciation for why water quality is an important issue for people on Earth as well as on the International Space Station. Working in groups, students experience the entire engineering design process, including a read-aloud book about the water cycle; a visiting water engineer presentation; their own online research about filter methods and designs; group brainstorming of designs (using ordinary household materials); filter construction and testing; redesign and retesting; lab book documentation of their notes, research, plans and results; and a summary poster presentation at a mini-engineering fair. Two design planning worksheets, a poster layout suggestion sheet and a grading rubric are provided. Note: Activities that require the internet can be viewed on individual student laptops, computer lab, and mobile lab or be done as a whole group lesson using a projection tool.
Students will use dirty pennies to observe physical change.
