Interactive Math Journal for Operations

This Interactive Math Journal for operations contains notes and foldables to teach your students about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. These pages can be used to introduce a concept or as an activity to review key points of a math lesson. This Interactive Math Journal will make a great reference tool for students to use throughout the school year. Please check the topics covered below as not all topics pertaining to operations are covered. Also if you bought my Interactive Math Journal for Place Value there a few pages that are the same. For example: the cover pages, table of contents and assessment sheets.

This unit contains a “starter kit” for teaching operations. What’s included:
• Achievement indicators and I can statements for various operation concepts. There is a PowerPoint file, which contains blank cards so they can be edited to meet your individual needs.
• Notes and foldables to complete a double-page spread for each concept or skill. There are pictures of each finished entry to show what the completed pages will look like. (Please check the preview for more details as to what is included in this unit)
• Two QR activities to go with the concepts being taught in the journal. One of the QR codes activities is 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication and division 3 digit by 1 digit.
• An exit card for multiplication and division and a method for student’s self-assessment of their understanding of each concept.
