Coffee Driven

This resource includes 18 days of fraction choral counting. This is a routine that I used with 4th graders to build number sense with fractions. It is super engaging, and leads to great conversation. I used this paired with BrainingCamp, and had a student adding/taking away fraction bars on a number line to help students visualize. You can learn more about choral counting online if you have not heard of this routine! I did this whole group.

I used this resource to remediate decimal computation estimation with multiplication and division. This is based on 5th grade math SOLs.

This activity includes 3 sorts for rounding whole numbers. The target rounding sheet works for all three sorts. The first sort has students rounding to the thousands place, the second sort has students rounding to the ten thousands place, and the third sort has students rounding to the hundred thousands place. Students sort if it rounds to the target number or not. Numbers go up to the millions and hundred thousands to align with VA 4th grade SOL standards.

I used this sort with a small group to remediate misconceptions around units of measure with US Customary and Metric. We first color coded the vocabulary by length, weight/mass, and volume, and then looked for key words to help us identify which unit of measure words we needed to pick from.

This packet includes two days worth of fraction remediation (two blocks of 1 hour). Skills are broken into items that students can do with a calculator, and cannot do with a calculator (according to VA 4th Grade Math SOLs). Day 1- comparing, ordering, equivalent, mixed numbers, improper fractions. Day 2- adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators, simplifying answer. Two activities are also included. One is a set of fraction cards to play Fraction War. Two students split

I used this resource with a remediation group. Students were required to justify with answer using a strategy such as a number line, benchmarks, or finding common denominators.

This contains 5 mini multiplication memory games. Each game is on one sheet of paper. Just print out on colored paper and cut apart. There are 12 matches per sheet. Perfect for partner practice. Student 1 will flip two cards. If student flips a problem and answer that match, he/she can keep the match. Then it is Student 2's turn. Student with most matches at the end wins. Each sheet targets 2 different basic fact skills. (4,7) (6,8) (5,9) (3,12) (2,11)

Listed is a resource that I made for instruction in a 3rd grade classroom. Students were working on adding and subtracting to find exact answers and estimates. I started in the tens and moved into hundreds and thousands. I used this in a small group setting.

I used this with a small group of students to remediate misconceptions. Students sorted with a partner, taking turns reading the word form and matching it to the standard form.

This question is designed to look like a Virginia 4th Grade SOL Math question where students "click and drag" the correct place value name to the matching digit. Students write the correct name beside the corresponding digit. Every value is included from the Millions place to the Thousandths place. Great for review. Room is left at the bottom for students to draw their own place value chart. (only 1 question)

This resource was used with 5th graders to practice decimal division. This is based on 5th grade VA SOLs.

This resource was used with 5th graders to practice decimal multiplication. This is based on 5th grade VA SOLs.

This activity is great for morning work, morning meeting, community building, or for your fractions unit! Student pick words to describe themselves and say what fraction of themselves that word is. They pick a color, fill in their key, and shade that amount of their fraction circle. For example: I am 2/8 kind. Students are provided a word bank, but I also encouraged students to come up with their own words!

This target rounding activity includes two sets. Students cut and sort the decimals under the categories: Rounds to my target number and Does not round to my target number. Great for guided practice or independent practice. Both of the sets round to the nearest whole and include decimals that go to the thousandths place. Based on Virginia 4th grade SOLs.

This packet has pages full of problems that progressively get harder. It starts with 2 by 1 problems, then 3 by 1, then 2 by 2. Students first solve using the box method (array method) and then the algorithm. This allows them to compare the two and check their work. I used this for independent practice, and it was very helpful for my students.

This slideshow breaks down the box method into steps. Each slide has students completing one step, and each slide builds on the next. This resource features 6 2 by 2 multiplication questions. I used this resource during remediation to help students who were struggling to identify which two numbers they were multiplying for each box. This activity is aligned to 4th and 5th grade Virginia SOLs.

For this activity, students round decimals and sort them based on if they match the target decimal given or not. Students cut and sort the decimals. They either round to the target decimal, or do not round to the target decimal. Two different sets are included. Worksheet can be used for either set. Great for independent practice, formative assessments, or small group. Based on 4th grade Math SOLs.

This Independent Multiplication activity is a blast, and gets students moving around the room. The worksheet has 3 multiplication problems located on the snowman. One 2 by 2, and two 3 by 2. Students solve each problem using the box method and algorithm. When they finish solving one, they go find the answer that you have placed somewhere in the room. If they get it correct, they shade in the corresponding scarf piece. If they get it wrong, they go back and try again until they get it right. Once

This product includes 22 word problems that align to VA 4th grade standards. The problems are single and multistep. They include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The division questions are single step. I included questions that use charts and tables. I use these for morning work and students complete one each day, and I go over it before starting morning meeting.

Listed are resources that I used to support estimation in a 3rd grade classroom for their addition and subtraction unit. Great for independent practice or small group instruction.
