This is a 3 week unit in a PBL style. A PBL is a project where students come together to investigate a question. This is a science unit that will cover the life cycle of a plant, plant needs, producers, plant parts and their jobs, however, you'll also cover standards in writing, reading, math, and speaking and listening! At the end of the PBL there is a presentation and/or assessment option to give to students and students will be recording their plant observations in a 10-page student booklet!

This Word document includes: - instructions on how to play Scoot! - a game board - 28 flashcards (8 of each math function) * There are 8 flashcards of each math function.

Here is a fun way to have your students practice identifying the properties of multiplication and addition! Addition properties include: Commutative Associative Identity Multiplication properties include: Commutative Associative Identity Zero Distributive There are 32 cards in the document. You could do a Kagan structure with them, put them in a math station, use it as review before a test, use the cards as something early finishers could flip through, etc. My students LOVE Quiz Quiz Trade -

This package includes a mixture of addition and subtraction word problems. The word problems also sometimes require an estimation and have a variety of key words used for addition and subtraction. In this lesson plan: - Guided practice - Independent practice - Poem for students struggling in estimation

This hands-on activity is to be implemented with math stations. There are six shapes for students to measure in inches, a worksheet for students to record their measurements, and a key! Have fun!

One of the most important skills to learn in math is being able to add mentally with good strategies. These cards I use once a week in my classroom to help all students with their mental math skills. Kids come up with really good strategies and my low babies seem to 'get it' better when it's a peer describing their strategy rather than me giving them one!
