Fraction Line Plot Worksheets
Do your students need more practice learning to make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit? I know when I went over the Common Core Standards CCSS Math 4.MD.B.4 had me scratching my head. We had NO resources to cover it. So I made my own! These two worksheets use contexts that fourth graders are likely to be familiar with when it comes to measurement units and fractional parts. The types of questions vary between reading a line plot, creating a line plot w

Least Common Multiple Dice Game
Do your students need extra practice finding multiples of a number? Finding multiples was easy for my students since they could relate to "counting by" a number. However once they learn factors, they seem to always confuse the two! (and since they're taught within the same week, this is unavoidable!) Help them get the extra practice with multiples as well as finding the least common multiple with this simple partner dice game. You can even save the game for review once you teach Lowest Comm

Long division mini unit lesson plans, activities and worksheets
Do you find teaching long division to be difficult and frustrating for you and your students? Do you find that there are just too many hands up with questions like "I forget how to do it," and "What do I do now?" or "I can't do this." I have found that most math books don't spend enough time breaking the steps for long division down into manageable pieces. So I've created a long division mini unit with different activities that spreads out the skills and process over a period of 5 days. Thi

Fraction Number Line Worksheets
Are you new to teaching fractions on a number line? I felt like this was a big switch in my instruction and I didn't have enough fraction number lines for my students to practice on. For many of my fourth graders, having them draw number lines was too time consuming and confusing to be worth it, so I made my own! This set of four number line worksheets start out basic, and move into the more challenging. Students practice counting to determine the numerator of each number line (each workshee

This math activity is designed to motivate students as they practice identifying equivalent fractions. The teacher holds up a fraction, the children look for a chocolate bar that represents an equivalent fraction, and if they are correct they earn the chocolate! This math activity was designed for a special "Math Night" and was written so as to be completed by parent volunteers.

Division Task Cards for Breaking Down Numbers
The concept of dividing is such a leap for some students. These division task cards help children practice dividing up numbers into equal groups visually, and generate number sentences from their models. Simply laminate the task cards, and students can make several attempts at dividing the number. For kids who are afraid to make mistakes on paper and hate erasing, using markers that they can wipe off can make all the difference in their risk taking and learning. This product contains:✅ 18

Are you looking for a fun way to help students practice identifying parallel and perpendicular line pairs in a complex polygon? My fourth graders were successful in identifying relationships in a single pair of lines, but once they saw them in the context of a polygon they were overwhelmed. The way we got over that hurdle was a good old connect-the dot page, with some relevant practice work attached to their "mystery picture." The follow up questions require students to "color code" some of

Equivalent Fractions Game: Trading Fractions
In this game, children will learn about equivalent fractions (fractions with unlike denominators) by making "Fair Trades." All the children will start out with a jumble of fractional pieces, although they all add up to the same length (1 whole strip). If all those pieces were rearranged, you would have a strip of halves, another of thirds, sixths, eighths, and twelfths. But in order to get all like denominators, they are going to need to trade with other children. The trick in this a

About the store
Experience
I have taught fourth grade for 9 years in public school and third grade in a charter school for 3 years. Prior to my full time teaching career I was a paraprofessional for a teacher of the deaf for grades 1 and 2 for a year, and a preschool teacher for 2 years.
Teaching style
I am pragmatic so I can meet the needs of my students. I teach my fourth graders about working in groups so they can learn social skills as well as academics. I enjoy the balanced literacy reading and writing program. Some experts who have influenced me are John Collins and Lucy Caulkins. In math I use a combination of note taking and math games to promote understanding of vocabulary and principles as well as practice for applying skills. My district has also recently adopted the Math In Focus (Singapore Math) program. In science and social studies I teach research skills to enhance students' writing as well as reading to learn new information since.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was awarded grant money that funded the purchase of science materials for 6 classrooms at my school in October of 2012.

Additional biographical information
I have served on district-wide literacy and science curriculum committees for several years. I have served on school-wide literacy team for several years. I also served as the Second Step (emotional curriculum) school-wide lead teacher.
