Things I keep on hand (we have the exact same problem in my school):

  1. Story of Maths video and/or Story of 1. Both are a history of math, the Story of 1 is a bit more accessible, a bit sillier, but also shorter. The Story of Maths has several one-hour episodes covering different cultures. I have them both on DVD, but last I checked Story of Maths was on Netflix.

  2. Chapters from the book Crossing the River with Dogs. I actually have the 1st edition, and it's findable online if you're okay with some flexible ethics of piracy. The chapters walk students through some example problems with specific strategies (solve by drawing a picture, solve by making a list, etc), and analyze what went well and what went wrong. I've had great success with kids doing the problems together. It's all accessible to a non-mathy sub (How many games will be played in this tournament? type questions).

  3. Review worksheets! We have the Infinite Algebra software, but you can find some generic ones by the publishers of the software here. Answers are included I think, so kids/sub can check the work.

  4. Logic puzzles and sudoku. I've used this site for free puzzles. Caution, some are more challenging than a lot of kids have patience for. My students also love KenKen (it's similar to Sudoku, but with actual arithmetic involved) as well.

  5. If you have access to computers, desmos activities are great. There are a variety of Marbleslides for various levels, and the Water Line activity works well for almost any level. I make Polygraphs for my students (it's like a math version of Guess Who?), and it keeps them occupied for easily a whole class period (usually, I intend it for only 15-20 minutes, but they get sucked in). You can definitely use the Activity Builder to do something more related to the specific curriculum for each class, but use the search function...there are tons of great activities that folks have made and shared that are ready to go or need minimal tweaking.

    Good luck!
