Choice boards are an amazing differentiation tool that I have been using in my classroom for years! By creating a variety of meaningful, engaging, and fun activities, I am able to empower my students through choice while also meeting their individual needs. These menus are especially wonderful for both gifted and reluctant learners because they give the students a greater sense of ownership, the ability to work at their own pace, and the freedom to choose or design activities based on their own interests and readiness. I hope you find the learning menu in this resource to be easy to use and rewarding for your students!
This Packet Includes Both Colored and Black/White Copies of… • Menu Choice Board • Project Proposal • Project Rubric • Presentation Rubric Set-up • Print enough copies of the learning menu and scoring rubrics for each of your students. • Start with 20 copies of the “Project Proposal” because students will require them as needed.
Process
• Distribute a copy of the “Menu Choice Board” to each student. Explain the purpose of choice boards, how the menu is organized, and the requirements for this project (They will choose activities from the project menu that equal $10 or more. Students can choose any combination of projects desired based on their interests.)
• Project and/or distribute copies of the “Project Proposal.” Explain that students can choose to design their own activities but that the proposal must be approved by the teacher prior to starting. Review the proposal form together as a class.
• Distribute and review the “Project Scoring Rubric” and the “Presentation Scoring Rubrics” with students. • At this time, give students an opportunity to review and choose which activities they would like to complete. • Students can complete these projects during their regular math block, at home as homework, or as an early finisher activity
whenever time permits. • When students are finished, ask them to self-assess their projects using the “Project Rubric.” You can also ask students to present
their projects to the whole class or in small groups. Assess them using the “Presentation Rubric.” Assessment Teacher Observation, Discussion, Student Self-Assessment, Presentation Rubric, and Project Rubric

Proposal
6.NS.A.1
I can interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions.
Quiz
Create a five problem multiple choice quiz where students have to solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions (i.e. How much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share ½ lbs. of chocolate equally?). Don’t forget to include an answer key.
Bakery Ingredients
You own a very successful bakery. Research a list of 15 ingredients a bakery is likely to use on a daily basis. For each ingredient, write a word problem where a fraction of the ingredient is divided into small portions (i.e. It takes 1/7 of a barrel of flour to make a batch of cookies. The bakery used 2/3 of a barrel yesterday. How many batches of cookies did the factory make?). Don’t forget to include a key.
Pattern Blocks
Using pattern blocks, create fifteen division problems where a fraction is divided by a fraction assuming that a yellow hexagon is a whole. For each problem, draw models using the pattern blocks! Don’t forget a key.

I can fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
Bingo
Create a bingo game where players have to add or subject or subtract decimals. You must create one 5 x 5 bingo card and 25 question cards that include the answers.
Store Order Form
You are now in charge of your school store and need to purchase enough items to sell for the next two weeks. Go online and find a retailer that sells all of the items you need (min. of 15 products). Create an order form that shows the quantity ordered, item name, price per unit, and total cost for each item. Then calculate the total cost of your order.
Comic Strip
People often make silly errors when dividing multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm. Create a comic strip where someone makes a mistake and another character identifies the error and corrects it. Your comic strip should be a minimum of 9 panels long.

6.NS.B.4
I can find the greatest common factor and the least common multiple of two whole numbers. I can use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor.
Poster
Create a poster to teach others the divisibility rules (i.e. 2 is a factor if the last digit of a number is even). Provide an example for each rule!
Lesson Plan
Think about lessons that you learned and enjoyed the most. Design your own math lesson where you teach others how to use the distributive property to find the sum of two whole numbers. For example, 45 + 40 = 5(9 + 8).
Venn-Diagram Book
Create a book where you find the least common multiple of 10 different sets of numbers using Venn-diagrams.
6.NS.C.5
I understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values; use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.
Top 10 List
Create a top ten list where you would find positive and negative numbers in the real-world. Provide an specific example for each.
Elevations Project
You love geology! Choose 15 countries around the world with the lowest land points. Then compare the lowest land points to the highest land points for each country by calculating the difference. Create a visual to present your project to the class (I,e, poster, Prezi, etc).
Temperature Table
Create a table to show the all-time high and low temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit of 15 cities in the United States. Next, calculate the range and identify which city has the smallest and largest temperature difference.

Exit Card
You have a jumping bean that loves to move from place on the number line to another. Create a five question exit card where students have to plot the bean’s location on the number line and answer questions about its location (i.e. The jumping bean starts at 6 and jumps 4 units away; where could the bean have landed?). Don’t forget to include a key!
Business Ledger
You just opened your own company and are purchasing items on credit. Create a ledger where you track your purchases (minimum of 20 items) that includes the quantity purchased, item name, cost per unit, total price, current debt balance, and the absolute value of your cumulative debt.
Jeopardy
Create a jeopardy game where teams have to order and find the absolute value of rational numbers (i.e. True or False: -3 is greater than -7). As the question value increases so should the difficulty of the problems. Don’t forget to include a challenging final jeopardy question!
6.NS.C.8
I can solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.
Amusement Park
Your family is going to an amusement park for vacation. On a coordinate plane that includes all four quadrants, map five different attractions or rides you would like to see. Then write three real-world mathematical problems using your map. Don’t forget to include a key!
Constellations
Locate a constellation map. Choose ten different constellations and map them on a four quadrant coordinate plane. Create a legend which includes the name, ordered pairs, as well as the distance of each star to the other stars that make up the constellation.
Mystery Robot
Create a robot that goes into all four quadrants of a coordinate plane using only straight lines between points. Your picture must contain a minimum of 15 labeled points. After plotting your robot, identify and record each ordered pair. Then create a clue sheet that includes the first ordered pair and directions on how to find the rest of the points.

After plotting your robot, identify and record each ordered pair. Then create a clue sheet that includes the first ordered pair and directions on how to find the rest of the points. (From point A, move three spaces up and two spaces left).
