Math Supplemental Aids

Math Supplemental Aids — visual cue cards for grades 6–8 that help students retrieve what they already learned: integer rules, order of operations, fractions and percents, ratios and proportions, expressions and equations, the coordinate plane, slope, and data and probability. Print-friendly, free to share, adapt for your classroom, and support student success. Free to use, print, share, and adapt.

Five ways to use them

  1. Anchor the rule — integer signs and order of operations become a picture, not a paragraph.
  2. Make proportional reasoning visual — ratios, unit rate, and percent bars as quick retrieval cues.
  3. Keep the reference handy — one page of measurement formulas for problem solving and STAAR review.
  4. Support intervention & stations — one card per skill for small groups, tutoring, and warm-ups.
  5. Build the cue before test day — so the printable is a familiar friend, not a surprise.

The visual should help students retrieve a relationship they already understand — not replace the understanding.
