I have found Dr. Marian Small's books to be very helpful with
Minds On activities. Realistically, you probably have
students anywhere from grade 4/5 to grade 8 so her activities
are great for differentiating.

Also really look at the strands you are teaching side by side
to see where the grade levels differ.
