Stack-n-Pack: Connecting Mathematical Representations, Grades 6-8 by Janie Cates (2006-09-15)

Stack-n-Pack is an interactive, small group activity designed to enhance mathematical understanding through multiple representations. Students use problem solving to connect mathematical ideas using multiple representations. The Stack-n-Pack games for grades 6-8 reinforce a variety of mathematical concepts including: number sense, integers, exponents, geometry, measurement, properties of operations, fractions, decimals, percents, and algebraic reasoning.
