Print out and laminate (or put into a page protector) for students to use with dry-erase markers. Students write a decimal equation, model it with the grids, and solve. Great for showing how place value is important for adding decimals!

Print out and laminate (or put into a page protector) for students to use with dry-erase markers. Students write a decimal equation, model it with the grids, and solve. Great for showing how place value is important for operations with decimals! There is one page for adding, one for subtracting, one for multiplying, and one for dividing.

This is a Google Slides fully editable template to use for a review trivia game for any subject and any grade. I use it all the time! I just type in the questions I want my students to answer and project it for the class when we play. Round one also includes rules which are very helpful when guiding students the first time you introduce this game. I group my students in teams of 3 or 4. The trivia recording sheet is also included (slide 2). This sheet is great because the students must give

This product is a bundle of my two products: "Fraction Problem Solving: Adding & Subtracting Word Problems" and "Fraction Problem Solving: Multiplying & Dividing Word Problems" **It includes all of the pages for both** Organized by problem structure, these are 5th grade level word problems either using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. The problem structures include Collection, Change, Compare, Equal Groups, Ratios/Proportions, Area & Arrays, and Comparison. To be used

This Planner is created in Google Slides and it is fully editable. You can create your own labels, to-do lists, titles, color-coding, etc. There are different options for lesson plan organization including daily, weekly, and by unit. Monthly calendars are numbered and labeled starting from July 2020 through June 2021.

Use these for any decimal games or practice! I used them with the Place Value Mat that I created where the students had to choose a card, write the decimal, and expand it.

This is a 2 page diagnostic or pre-test for collecting information about what your students know before beginning multiplication and division in 5th grade. It covers topics and computations students should be familiar with before beginning 5th grade. I use this the first or second week of school for my 5th graders. The last question on the test asks how comfortable they are with multiplication facts, so it allows some self reflection as well. I love when my kiddos can take ownership of their

Organized by problem structure, these are 5th grade level word problems either using addition or subtraction. The problem structures include Collection, Change, and Compare. To be used with the RIDD strategy: Read the problem twice (I read to the students without numbers first), Imagine the problem, Decide what to do, and Do it.

This is a calendar that covers from August 2016 - June 2017. I am using this for students to grade their daily effort this year. They grade themselves from 1-4. Another way you can use this is to use a stamp at the end of each day to stamp those students who had "good" days or add a short note for the students who may need improvement. Its a great way to keep parents aware of their child's status in class. **If you purchase this PDF and you'd also like an editable version, let me know (kiki

Sub Binder forms including a Welcome Letter, IEP Info sheet, Important Phone #s sheet, and Procedures Info Cheat Sheet. Subs love how easy this is to find important info!

Hang these six posters up in your classroom or on a bulletin board to promote growth mindset and positive thinking! The 6 phrases are: Mistakes grow my brain I like to challenge myself I can always improve I persevere when I am frustrated How can I make this better? I believe I can do this Each of the posters comes in color as well as in black & white.

I laminate this and post it up in my classroom to easily refer to during lessons. I also print out my small Math Talk cards for students to keep in their Math Notebooks.

Students can use this graphic organizer/worksheet to help them find out the patterns when dividing a decimal by a power of ten. I have my students use a calculator to find each answer and write about the patterns we see. It leads to great math discussions!

This is an overview of 7th grade math topics (based on Common Core standards) and the time I spend teaching each of them. This is includes almost a third of the 8th grade standards as well because I teach an advanced 7th grade math course. I broke the year into 10 different units. This is SO helpful for planning my year out and the other math teachers in the school find it really beneficial. I gave this to the 8th grade math teacher in my school, and she loved being able to see the specific t

27 TASK CARDS Use these in so many ways for 5th-7th graders! Group work, individual, or parters. Give each group a few problems to solve. Or place them on different desks and have students walk around solving each problem as they go. Even use as a form on assessment. Task cards are the best! There are pure number problems to solve as well as more challenging word problems.

Practice worksheet for the distributive property for algebra. Includes practice with positive and negative numbers.

Organized by problem structure, these are 5th grade level word problems either using multiplication or division. The problem structures include Equal Parts/Groups, Area & Arrays Comparison, and Ratios/Proportions. To be used with the RIDD strategy: Read the problem twice (I read to the students without numbers first), Imagine the problem, Decide what to do, and Do it.

Keep track of all those student birthdays in your class in one easy, neat spot. Keep this in your Teacher binder under the Student Data section.

These Math Talk Cards are a half-sheet of paper, and fit nicely on the inside cover of composition books which my students use as Math Notebooks. Then they can easily refer to it throughout the lesson!
