• Word Problems: There are 3 sets of multiplication word problems, each with 2 tiers of difficulty.

Exemplars:

• Like and Unlike Denominators: There are 5 sets EACH of tired fractions of a set exemplars.

*****4 Area & Perimeter Kinesthetic and Spatial Set*****

City Map Planning:

This is differentiated for readiness

Level 1: Building footprints include areas whose factors are under 8. Students need to include 6 building icons on their map. Footprints are shown in rectangular array form only.

Level 2: Building footprints include areas whose factors are under 11. Students need to include 6 building icons on their map and 2 duplicates. Footprints are shown to include polygons with 4 or more sides.

Level 3: Building footprints include areas whose factors are under 13. Students need to include 6 building icons on their map and 3 duplicates. Footprints are shown to include polygons with more than 4 sides.

This pack includes:

* Student Recording Sheet (2 sided)

* Student City Map

* Building Icons (With products levels as listed above)

(Color Version and B/W Included)

Pentominoes:

After students have become familiar with pentominoes, they will complete the task cards using a set of pentominoes and record their answers.

Level 1:

Solve for the perimeter values of the 12 pentomino tiles. Solve for perimeter values of 2 pentominoes put together.

Level 2:

Solve for perimeter values of 3 or more pentominoes put together.

Level 3 Challenge: For an extra challenge for your visually spatial students, encourage them to find solutions to one of the pentomino challenges, then find the perimeter.

This pack includes:

* Drawing Pentominoes Activity

* Pentominoes Challenge Activity Card

* Level 1 Task Cards with answer sheet (18)

* Level 2 Task Cards with answer sheet (12- including 1 summative writing)

* 12 Gray/Black Outlined Pentominoes

* 12 Color Pentominoes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicken Coop:

Students role play that they work for an advertising firm that is creating a brochure for a farm equipment distribution company that sells chicken coops.

Their task is to create a brochure to highlight examples of chicken coop sizes that can be made with a given perimeter. Each level of difficulty has a different given perimeter. All students will be determining area.

* Level 1: Students are only working with rectangles.

* Level 2: Students work with polygons including up to 2 rectangles.

* Level 3: Students work with polygons including up to 1 rectangle. They will also determine the number of chickens that can live in each given coop.

There is a short writing component as well on the brochure. Brochures are printed 2-sided.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leprechaun Gardens:

In this pack, you have two different learning styles to choose from:

* Bodily/Kinesthetic

* Visual/Spatial

Students will be planing 6 rectangular garden plots using either grid paper (visual/spatial) or math manipulatives (kinesthetic). Both activities center around the same skill, but in slightly different ways.

A writing page at the end gives students the opportunity to write a letter to the Lucky Leprechauns explaining where they think they garden should be planted.

Multiplication & Division Logic Cards (Winter Themed):

Students are challenged to solve for unknowns in these Christmas and winter themed multiple and division leveled balanced equations logic cards. Equivalence and problem solving are incorporated in differentiated math puzzles. Four levels of difficulty, task students to solve for one, two or three variables using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

4 Levels of Difficulty

• Level 1: Solve for the variable in a product equation made of digits in facts 2-5. One unknown is given.

• Level 2: Solve for the variable in a product equation made of digits in facts 6-12, balanced with equations of all operations. One unknown is given.

• Level 3: Solve for the variable in two balanced equations with all operations. Products and quotients are from facts 2-12. Two unknowns are given.

• Level 4: Solve for the variable in three equations with all operations. Products and quotients are from facts 2-12. Three unknowns are given.

Task Cards:

Students will find the value of each graphic on the task cards by solving 1-3 math equations, depending on the level of difficulty. Suggestions for use include:

• Individually

• Partner Math Board Game

• Partner Math Collaboration

• Calendar Math Component

• Guided Math Instruction

Building Balanced Equations Mat:

• Students will place different valued graphic weights on either side of the scale in order to ensure it remains balanced.
