Need a simple way to make students accountable for their Math Practices alignment? This tool interprets the 8 Common Core Mathematical Practices in kid-friendly language. Each MP comes with the MP explained in kid-friendly words, a simple checklist of what the MP is asking for, and a brief sentence explaining how I would check for their understanding of the MP, or as evidence seen in their math work. They are designed as a small tool, easy for students to flip through and use daily. Included

As we move towards standards-based and mastery grading, I found it so important to communicate to students EXACTLY what a 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 meant in Math! This kid-friendly 4 point math rubric is aligned to the Smarter Balanced General Math Rubric. This resource contains a title page with and without "SBAC," just in case you your students don't take the SBAC, but you'd still like to use the rubric. Classroom posters are provided, as well as a student handout (I also printed these handouts ou

The Digital Notebook resource is 100% editable and contains 3 separate files. They are all the same notebook Google Slides template, just in different colors: Muted, Pastel, and Warm. As I've moved to 100% distance learning, I've created and used this Digital Notebook with my own students. I love using it to teach important concepts, link videos/websites for students to browse, create graphic organizers for students to fill out, etc. I've found it to be a great place for students to collect wha

Quick and easy way to display the 8 Common Core Mathematical Practices in your classroom! Each MP includes a large display of student friendly wording, with the actual MP wording at the bottom. 3 different color versions included. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Give your students a second chance at achieving mastery with these Try Again slips! Attach one of these quarter-sized slips to any student assignment to give students actionable feedback, a due date, and notice on which criteria you would like them to improve on. There are four templates and are all completely editable. Resource also includes directions on how to include Bitmojis in your slips, as seen in the sample image (Bitmojis are not included). Let me know if you have any questions!

This double-sided document is carried to and from school and acts as a communication guide to the parents on the students' behavior and homework for the day. At the end of back page is a small chart for grades to be recorded (translated in English and Spanish). I find this extremely useful to keep both parents and students informed! Plus, it keeps the student responsible - it acts as their personal agenda. I hole punch them and have the students keep them in a 3-ring binder. * This document is

This quiz directly assesses the 5th grade Common Core math standards of NBT.1 and NBT.2: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.A.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.A.2 Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a

This document records all of the students' grades for the week. I use it in my 5th grade class. Whatever quiz/test/formative assessment I give during the week is recorded on the students' individual Weekly Grades Report and returned to them on Monday for a parent signature. The students return it back to me within 2 days. This prevents the students from taking their assessments back home with the risk of losing it when assessments are needed for parent conferences! * This document is editable.

This problem set should be administered to students to work individually or in groups after the standard is taught. The problem set includes both numeric and word problems that prompt the student to model the work before they solve it. It covers the skill of dividing whole numbers by unit fractions and contains both a language and content objective. * This document is editable. However, please do not remove my copyright. A hard teacher at work; I would appreciate the credit :) Thank you for

This homework set should be administered to students after the standard is taught, and the problem set is reviewed (also in my store). This homework set contains 2 word problems that directly assesses students' knowledge of dividing word problems by unit fractions. * This document is editable.
