Middle School Math WebQuests

I am currently a substitute teacher at the middle school level, and I hope to some day get a full time position as a 7th or 8th grade math teacher, so I found WebQuests that relate to middle school math concepts. The following are a couple that I enjoyed.

Fraction Fixins: http://www.angelfire.com/ma4/kconnolly/index.html

• This WebQuest covers both fractions and converting units in a creative way. These are both concepts that students struggle with, so using a real life application like cooking is very beneficial. The WebQuest is easy to follow and broken steps that students must complete each day. Expectations are also clear.

Shop 'Till You Drop: http://web.archive.org/web/20070806075937/http://www.manteno.k12.il.us/webquest/middle/Math/ShopTilDrop/webquest+shopping.html

• What student doesn't like to shop? This WebQuest is a great way for students to learn about percents while learning about internet security. The design is engaging for students and easy to follow.
