This math lesson is designed to replace or supplement any math curriculum program. My lessons are aligned to the common core standards and state assessments. Notes, tips, and questions are research based and rigorous.

Goal: Students will understand how to create and use a vertical number line to round to different places within a number to the hundred thousand place. They will answer questions about which number would round off to a given number, which statement is true and what a number would be when rounded. They will write an explanation of their thinking. (14 pages for students + answer key)

This complete no prep, printable math lesson includes:

• goal statement (“I can” statement)
• notes that are simple, bold and easy to understand with visual aids
• 2 different example problems
• a gradual progression of more difficult problems (challenges included)
• multiple-choice questions & open-response questions in CCLS assessment format
• clear, bold font and pictures
• plenty of workspace

My lessons are designed to help students at all levels succeed. My district has been using these lessons for a few years and students LOVE math and are truly engaged in learning. Lessons are designed to help differentiate instructions for all learners, from those who have special-ed needs or are struggling learners to gifted students. Each lesson begins with clear step-by-step notes and helpful strategies. Scaffolding, tips and reminders are included throughout the lesson. Parents and substitute teachers comment how much they love the “helpers” and the easy-to-follow, predictable format.

Each lesson builds complexity by starting with easy problems and progressing towards challenging problems to help students become confident. This encourages a growth mindset as students feel that they can succeed with problems labeled as a “challenge”. The different levels of questions allow for learning to be personalized as students can go deeper at their own pace. Students using my lessons are motivated to work through to the hardest problems to show true mastery of the concept.

Brain based learning theory shows that in order to retain new information it must be applied to new situations in order to solve problems. My lessons progress with constant shifting of question wording and formats so that students begin to truly apply the new concept. Each question is purposeful and meaningful to students' math comprehension and mastery of concepts.

Clipart, clear font, and plenty of workspace make this product user-friendly. Quality homework spirals a sample of questions completed during school. Exit slips provide immediate, constructive feedback and help teachers track and progress with data driven instruction.
