Fractions are an abstract concept, and students are still in what Piaget called the “Concrete Operational” stage. They think logically about concrete ideas, but do not yet have the ability to think abstractly. This makes manipulatives and visuals so important for students when learning fractions. Algorithms should be the last thing taught. Students can learn an algorithm to solve a problem, but will they have any idea what they are solving or why the numbers act the way they do within the probl

Sight words are crucial to a balanced literacy program! Sight words make up the majority of written text. This makes them vital to literacy development. Memorizing these words means students will have the fluency to focus on new and unfamiliar words in a text. Sight words not only build fluency, but confidence. Most sight words cannot easily be sounded out because they do not follow phonics rules. This makes decoding them difficult and ineffective. This makes memorization even more important.

This game is so simple, yet so effective and exciting for students! All you need is a Smartboard! This sight word game can be integrated into morning meetings or literacy blocks! It is a short 10-15 minute activity that can be integrated daily and yield amazing results! Students are motivated by the competition with their classmates and themselves! Have students line up in a single file line in front of the Smartboard and have them say the word on the slide given to them in a timed race to sta

Estimation is a high cognitive demand activity. It is so much more that simply making wild guesses! Estimation instruction, when used correctly, develops number sense and the concept of answer reasonableness in students. Includes:Weekly student estimation sheets Example week for intended use Classroom printable visuals Why Estimation? Estimation is often dismissed in mathematics education. It is viewed as an add-on or fun task that gives students a break from the mathematics that requires accur

MANIPULATIVES!!! MANIPULATIVES!!! MANIPULATIVES!!! Students will engage in hand-on activities using manipulatives to guide thinking while allowing students to construct a concrete understanding of fractions. In these activities, the focus is not on getting the right answer, but rather building understanding to construct and solidify knowledge. Have You Tried Constructivist Math Bro?

Students will not only be engaged, but excited to explore fractions with these "Make a Shape" Investigations!!! These nine shape problems are presented in three different ways, (two card sets, and an exploration sheet), in order to meet the needs and structure of your classroom no matter the breakdown of your math block. The cards without pictures or hints can be used in math centers or for enrichment time, while the teacher cards or investigation sheets can be used during whole or small group m
