ABC Simplicity

After guided practice with dry erase boards and playing games (repetitive practice with writing numbers in different ways), students will complete this worksheet. *I used this as a formative assessment in order to gauge whether or not to move on or allow students more time to practice this skill.

Students will use this document to organize their topic sentence, main idea, and "facts/details" related to the main idea before they begin writing their first drafts.

This organizer is to be used for a "Properties of Matter" science investigation. Cut along the outlined edges and it will fit in a science composition notebook. *Various safe objects may be used for the investigation (i.e. rocks).

*The preview looks different than the actual organizer. The organizer consists of "thinking clouds" instead of rectangular boxes that are separated from the "details" box. *Students may use this graphic organizer for brainstorming and organizing their ideas prior to writing their first essay draft. *Students will use this graphic organizer to organize their main topic, sub-topics, and details related to each sub-topic. Additionally, the second page allows for students to write their topic se

Students will use the RDW strategy to identify how to solve 3 word problems. R: Read the word problem (I prefer 1 sentence at a time). D: Draw a picture of the information provided. W: Write the equation and solve. *Prior Knowledge: Students must be able to add and subtract double digit numbers independently.

We began the lesson by watching a video about place value (each digit has a "home"). We then used our dry erase boards and practiced identifying the value of digits in the ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands. Lastly, students identified the value of each underlined digit up to the Ten Thousands independently using this worksheet.

Students will use this document to organize their writing. The learning target pertaining to this particular document is: Capitalization & Indentation. * I use a writing prompt, but students may wish to complete a reading response using this graphic organizer as well.

Students use this graphic organizer to "organize" their thoughts and facts about a specific topic. Once brainstorming is completed, students will write a paragraph based on their topic sentence and 3 details/facts related to the topic sentence.

I used this graphic organizer in conjunction with a landform presentation. Students wrote the name of each landform, a definition in their own words, and a picture to help them remember each landform.

Students will use the "Make a 10" strategy to add two 1 digit numbers. You will need 10 frame boards (magnetic or otherwise) as well as manipulatives to use for the 10 frame board.
