To save you the trouble I met over the years, I'm bringing to you some guided notes AND student practice pages! My method of teaching this standard uses 3 forms of expressions to help students write and identify the different representations of percent exp

A quiz? On the first day of school?! Okay, it's more of a student survey, BUT your students will perk up the minute they hear you call for quiz time! I like to give students this "getting to know you" quiz at the beginning of class on the first day to give me time to take attendance. The first day of school can be nerve-wracking for many students; I've found that having something to work on immediately gives many students that sense of normalcy and time to get comfortable in their new classroom

Send home this form and ensure you have the most recent contact information for each student! I made the form 1-sided for quick printing and to encourage more parent participation. I used this form in my own classroom last year, and it was a lifesaver all year long! It saves so much time when contacting parents, and it was a relief to know I had current information on each child. This download includes 2 files - an editable word document with links to download the fonts used and a PDF file you

This resource is a fun way to review fraction, decimal, and percent representations! Your students will create a plan for their ideal "Dream Day" by listing activities and the time needed for each in both a table and a circle graph. They will also represent each amount of time as a portion (fraction, decimal, percent) of the entire day. To make things a bit more challenging, I have created the graph out of 48 sections as opposed to 24! Please leave feedback below if you purchase this resource.

A great way to begin the school year is with a simple discussion about having a growth mindset. This resource helps younger students reflect on times when a growth mindset can be useful and when they have had a growth mindset in the past. This would also be cute to display for open house for younger grades!
