What is the difference between a factor and a multiple? This game really helps my students to distinguish between factors and multiples! Playing "war" to find the GCF and the LCM (LCD) is a great way to get their minds "in gear" for reducing/ simplifying fractions, finding equivalent fractions and to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. I color coded the LCM (LCD) game in red and GCF game in blue to help differentiate the games. I hope your students find these games beneficial!

Have you ever needed a quick, easy reference to see what students should have been taught already? I made this scope and sequence based on California Common Core standards but they could be a general guide for any states that use Common Core. I've been told that this was really useful by collegues, so I thought I'd share it here. Hope it is helpful!

Here is a checklist I made based on the California Common Core Standards for 5th Grade. It just gives me a general guideline to help me stay on track. I can't claim it is perfect, but it is helpful in taking notes on my individual tutoring students. I have several other checklists for math (K-5) that I will be uploading soon (stay tuned). I hope this helps you, too!

These colorful bucks show 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000. I love to use these value bucks when I'm trying to help my students remember the difference between "place" and "value"! It really helps! I also recommend my Place Value game called "Wags to Riches"...a dog walking game that reinforces these concepts. "Wags to Riches" contains these same value bucks, so if you decide to buy "Wags to Riches", you don't need these. However, if you just want to use the bucks- these work great!
