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 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

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.

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.

Students will add and subtract fractions that require them to find the common denominator. These resulting fractions do not need to be simplified, so that the focus can be on finding common denominators.

Students will estimate fraction sums and differences and place the cards under closer to 0, closer to 1/2, or closer to 1. A number line is provided, but other manipulatives would be helpful as well.

Every morning (or whenever you want), give students a number that they will write, place in a place value chart, write the expanded form and word form, round to the thousands, ten thousands, and hundred thousands place, and compare to another number of their choice. Aligns with VA 4th grade SOLs.

This sort has students cutting out eggs with even and odd numbers and gluing them to the corresponding birds nest. Easy activity for students to complete at an independent station.

Students will identify factors, common factors, and the greatest common factor for each set of numbers. I recommend having students build arrays using tiles to help them.
