A King

This is a compiled Google Doc of 18 warm-ups- usually 4 problems (but ranges 1-4)- with which to start off your math block. They're meant to be a quick formative assessment on student understanding of already covered material. There are four 'copies' to a page to save on printing. Just FYI, I like to use*all* of the multiplication symbols (x • *), so you can change those to your preference. Material covered: Division Word Problems Fraction (and Mixed Number) Ops Decimal Ops Order of Operation

A basic worksheet for character analysis that includes a place to track text evidence. I use it for an activity to complete with book clubs/lit circles to extend/focus discussion.

I've tried many types of reading logs with my students, and so far this has been the most successful. Questions are aligned with CCSS (Setting/Characters, Summary, Cause & Effect, and Reaction). Using this one shows me that they're really reading their book- not just filling out some lines that may or may not be completely accurate. I've also included 3 pages of book recommendations with summaries, book level, and AR Points.

A variety of graphic organizers to use while teaching world civilizations. Includes: Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Greece, Rome, East Africa, West Africa, and the Americas.

This resource is aimed at increasing engagement during your decimal operations unit. Students randomly draw an occupation before they begin. They then use the given monthly salary (based on the average salary in North Carolina before taxes...) to determine what they can afford. Some kids will be able to afford the best of everything. Some will have to make some hard choices! Prices are based on current averages and actual costs in our area (Asheville, North Carolina). Obviously, things might

Graphic organizers are the best way to scaffold larger writing projects for students. Kids often struggle with expressing their thoughts through writing, and graphic organizers can help them with that process. This collection is designed for a 5-6 paragraph essay, although of course you can adjust as needed.

There are 32 different common roots and affixes, mostly Greek/Latin. This makes a perfect center activity paired with earlier instruction.

Perfect as a center or a scoot activity- get your kiddos practicing rounding to a variety of place values.

Students get to have fun creating a fun design in the 10x10 square- but then they have to do the math! For each color, they need to record the equivalent value as a decimal, fraction (including simplest form), and percent.

My students really need extra support when it comes to writing. Often, however, they get distracted by ones that have 'extra' decorations/illustrations. I created this for W 5.1 (Opinion Writing), but it could be used for any grade level.
