The eMATHinstruction blog

We’re excited to share a fresh set of supplementary resources designed to support your teaching and give your students more opportunities to practice key math skills. These add-ons are available now for subscribers to our Teacher Plus membership and can be easily slotted into your lesson plans.

To help you kickstart the new school year, we’ve also added a bonus resource: fun student question prompts for the first week of school! This fun activity is guaranteed to help you start off your school year with a deeper connection with your students.

Take a look at our September Math tools to support a smooth transition into the year.

Middle School Teacher Tools

N-Gen Math 6:

• Unit 2 – Practice with Fractions and Mixed Numbers
  This practice set reinforces fraction concepts, including converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers, and solving real-world problems with fractions (like pies, loaves of bread, and juice pitchers). Teachers can use it for in-class guided practice, small-group work, or homework to strengthen fraction fluency.
  
• Unit 3 – Practice with Adding and Subtracting Decimals
  This worksheet provides scaffolded problems on decimal operations, starting with expanded fraction forms and moving into real-world applications like purchases, distances, and gas usage. It’s a great way to give students targeted practice that connects decimals to everyday contexts.
  
• Unit 3 – Mid Unit Quiz C
  This assessment covers decimal operations, place value, and applications through multiple-choice and free-response questions. Teachers can use it as a checkpoint after Lesson 4 to gauge student understanding, guide reteaching, and prepare students for unit exams.

N-Gen Math 7:

• Unit 2 – Mid-Unit Quiz: Operations with Signed Numbers (Form C)
  This quiz assesses students’ grasp of positive and negative rational numbers, zero pairs, and the rules of addition and subtraction. It’s ideal for mid-unit check-ins or as a spiral review before the unit test.
  
• Unit 3 – Practice with Proportional Relationships
  This worksheet gives students real-world ratio and proportion problems using tables, equations, and word problems. It fits well as independent practice, a math center task, or even an intro to setting up and solving proportions in context.
  
• Unit 3 – Mid-Unit Quiz: Proportional Relationships (Form C)
  Assess student understanding of ratios, unit rates, equations from tables, and real-life proportional reasoning scenarios. Great for post-Lesson 5 evaluations, reteaching decisions, or even small-group data collection.

N-Gen Math 8:

• Unit 3 – Practice with Rotations in the Coordinate Plane
  This worksheet lets students explore 90°, 180°, and 270° rotations of points and shapes on the coordinate plane. With both multiple-choice and graphing tasks, this makes an excellent hands-on activity for transformation lessons or as a visual anchor during direct instruction.
  
• Unit 3 – Mid-Unit Quiz: Transformations (Form C)
  This assessment targets translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations. With a mix of computation, graphing, and conceptual questions, it’s perfect to check mastery after Lesson 7 or as a review tool before the final unit test.
  
• Unit 2 – Practice with Congruent Triangles
  This worksheet helps students explore triangle congruence through tracing, identifying matching sides and angles, and solving for missing values using congruent triangle properties. It’s a great hands-on follow-up to lessons on triangle congruence, making it perfect for station work, guided practice, or reinforcing geometry vocabulary in real context.

September’s Bonus: Student Question Prompts

We’re also including a special back-to-school bonus: a printable set of conversation starters to help you build classroom community from day one.

Designed to ease first-day nerves and spark meaningful interaction, these open-ended prompts encourage students to share about themselves in ways that feel safe, inclusive, and fun. Whether you’re running partner interviews, small group circles, or quick warm-ups, this resource gives you flexible tools to get kids talking and listening.

Each question fosters curiosity, empathy, and connection, making it a great way to kick off the year with trust and positive vibes. Use them as icebreakers, brain breaks, or even writing prompts during advisory or ELA.

You can print and cut them out for quick use, or project them as daily openers. Either way, they’re a low-prep win for a high-impact first week. This resource is absolutely free to all our teacher Plus membership subscribers. Join our community for early access to this and other monthly resources.

Teachers, if you have questions or feedback, feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We’re here to help make your lesson planning a little easier.

Happy Math-ing.
