This is a Jeopardy PowerPoint review of the entire 4th grade math curriculum (Texas). It covers place value, fractions, decimals, computation, problem solving, measurement, area/perimeter, and geometry. There are 5 categories, with 5 questions and answers per category. Hint: Keep the kids involved by giving them whiteboards, and have them work the problems out as their teammates try at the board. Kids LOVE Jeopardy, and this PowerPoint is a great way to keep them engaged and involved during revi

57 pictures using various shapes to model different ways to show halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths, eighths, ninths, tenths, and twelfths. Useful to cut out for projects and designs, or for modeling through shading.

This 60-page Old Yeller literature unit includes 3-5 comprehension questions, 3-5 analysis questions, and two Frayer Model vocabulary exercises for each chapter. Additionally, this product includes ideas for projects and extensions, and journal questions to use throughout the book. COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS focus on basic understsanding of the main events in each chapter. Students are also often asked to draw detailed scenes of the book to reinforce and personalize main events. ANALYSIS/REFLEC

This well-scaffolded packet walks students through three basic types of sentences: simple, compound, and complex. Frayer Models in the packet help students gain a clear, personal understanding of each sentence type. Venn Diagrams and Tables in the packet help the students to identify the similarities and differences between each type of sentence. Practice questions that require students to justify their answers force students to think critically while identifying and creating each type of

"Math Squares" are a daily review worksheet I created for my students. It's a daily warmup, similar to "Drops in the Bucket", but is more appropriate for a warmup review. It consists of 9 questions, each of which cover a different topic from the 4th grade math curriculum. There are 77 documents, and most are leveled "A" and "B" for easy differentiation ("B" is a bit easier).

Jeopardy PowerPoint review of all 4th grade fractions objectives (Texas). Covers equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions, comparing fractions, and mixed numbers. This is a great tool for fraction review, and the kids are sure to be engaged and involved. Tip: Have the kids work with whiteboards at their desks while one person from each team takes turns answering the question for points. They LOVE it! ***The preview file contains questions for the first category only, but the file for purchas

Students use this handout to measure the length and width of squares and rectangles, then calculate the area and perimeter of each. It includes sides with lengths that fall directly on the half inch or half centimeter, so students get to practice rounding up to the next nearest inch or centimeter when their measurements fall directly in the middle. The last page includes challenge questions for early finishers, and asks students to find the area and perimeter of irregular objects.

This conduct chart is used to keep track of student behavior. It's low-hassle and effective; kids really don't like writing in their demerits, and it's a great way to document for parent conferences or behavior referral paperwork. In its current form the tracker is set up in nine week increments, but because it's in a Word document it's simple to alter the dates and time period. Students fill in their demerits on the chart corresponding to the day of the infraction using the codes at the top

Students in upper elementary need to have their multiplication facts memorized, and should be able to recall answers without stopping to think. Unfortunately, multiplication instruction is often rote and monotonous, leaving kids bored and discouraged. This document is composed of 15 different multiplication games - including materials and game boards - for kids to play while practicing their facts. Some are whole group games, others are intended for pairs or small teams in centers or small gro

This PowerPoint reviews all the geometry essentials for 4th grade math (Texas), including points, lines, and planes; triangles; polygons; quadrilaterals; transformations; and solid figures. The PowerPoint does not include the answers to each question, but if you're the teacher, you should have mastered the content by now anyways! The kids are asked to draw a lot of the figures as well, so not having answers leaves you a little bit of leeway to interpret their drawings. Hint: Have the kids use wh

This document is filled with helpful information for teachers looking to create and assign a Wax Museum project for their students. In this Wax Museum project, students select a historical character that fits within a broad historical theme, and deliver a monologue while dressed as their character. There are 16 themes to choose from, such as "When cultures meet, both sides can benefit," or "Even good leaders can make major or important mistakes." In this project, students are also asked to cre

This in-class project requires students to create a "geometric town" that meets a list of teacher created requirements. Combining math and social studies, students must create a town that has all the essentials of a real town (town hall, fire station, schools, etc...) organized on their map in a logical and justifiable way, and must include specific shapes, angles, and types of lines. This project will test students' knowledge of geometric figures, maps, and basic requirements for a town, as wel

This document contains fraction pieces from 1/2 through 1/12 that can be printed, laminated, and cut out for frequent use with small groups, centers, or individuals. Listed on each fraction piece are equivalent decimals, percents, and the word form of the fraction (for example, 1/2 = one-half = 0.5 = 50%). In addition to the large fraction manipulatives, this document contains 45 game cards for students to use with the fraction pieces. These game cards cover equivalent fractions, comparing fra

Blank Jeopardy PowerPoint template. Has space for 5 categories and 5 questions in each. Click through to reveal the answers to each review question. Kids LOVE Jeopardy, and it's an amazing way to keep them engaged and involved at review time.

This document is a research project for Black History Month, and includes a rubric for quick and easy grading. For this project, students are required to pick a year in American History, and make a collage of events that occurred during that year that were important to African-American history. Students are also asked to write a one page summary of the events. Also included is a list of links to internet resources for the kids to use for their research, as well as a parent acknowledgment form.

This is a kid-friendly rubric designed to help upper-elementary students understand the differences between strong and weak personal narratives. The rubric was originally created for use with the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) Writing Test for fourth grade, but can be used for any personal narrative structure. The rubric is based on a four point scale, and covers the following writing conventions: focus (Is the story on topic?), organization (Does the story transition appropri

These are nearly all of the math tests I gave last year, broken down by objective. They cover decimals, fractions, geometry, measurement, problem solving skills, and word problems. There are over 15 tests, and more than 50 pages all separated by learning objectives with a column to easily record mastery in each section before tallying the total score.

This document includes three options for students to choose from to complete a project for Hispanic Heritage Month. Use all three and give the kids choices, or assign one and save the other two for subsequent years! Project choices include choosing an important Hispanic man or woman and presenting a first-person monologue and biography to the class, creating a 3D map of Texas along with a process paper, or creating a model of the Battle of the Alamo and a persuasive paper responding to the top
