Upper Elementary Math Notebook Lessons

No matter which option you choose, you will find that these lessons will benefit students during classwork time, homework time, or when they are studying for a chapter test. Having a math notebook to refer to while working independently will boost confidence and productivity. All activities can easily be posted to online platforms, as well (printable pages are in a PDF format)

Each topic includes:

1- Animated PowerPoint (designed for students to copy and fill 2 pages side-by-side in a spiral notebook)

2- Animated Google Slides presentation (same information as PowerPoint)

3- Printable screenshot of the completed PowerPoint (great option to post on an online platform for virtual or absent students to copy)

4- Printable FILL-IN-THE-BLANK outline of the PowerPoint (useful if you think your students would have trouble handwriting the notes)

5- Printable COMPLETED outline (great option for absent students)

6- Printable- applicable graphs, shapes, and tables that may be difficult to hand draw (not every lesson may include these if the notes are more simple to handwrite)
