This PowerPoint presentation serves as an introduction to solving problems that involve finding parts of a whole by using tape diagrams. The process is clearly explained and modeled including examples using fractions and percents converted to fractions. The product can be used as an interactive class lesson or for individual student use due to absence or remediation. The amount of time spent using this presentation will vary depending on the teacher's usage of stopping points and/or student inte

This additional 6-problem assessment can be used as a quiz to cover 6th grade Common Core standard: CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.B.4 which covers GCF, LCM, and the distributive property. This assessment has the same format of problems as Assessment #1, but different numbers and word problem scenarios. There are two problems in each category. For LCM there is one problem to find the LCM of two numbers and one word problem in which you need to determine that finding the LCM will solve the problem. For G

This original 6-problem assessment can be used as a quiz to cover 6th grade Common Core standard: CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.B.4 which covers GCF, LCM, and the distributive property. There are two problems in each category. For LCM there is one problem to find the LCM of two numbers and one word problem in which you need to determine that finding the LCM will solve the problem.

This 18-slide PowerPoint presentation uses word problems to explore the role of multiples in solving them. It begins with defining a multiple before being introduced to problems involving common multiples. In the first problem you're looking for several common multiples over a period of time. The second problem is looking for the next time an events occur simultaneously (LCM). After summarization there is a problem students can work along with solution so they can check their work. The presentat

This 28-slide PowerPoint presentation guides you through the process that leads to finding the greatest common factor of given numbers. It can be used for full class or individual instruction. The time you spend on this presentation depends on how much student involvement you allow and stopping points encountered for emphasis. This presentation is a great reference to place on your teacher webpage as well. The content is based on the 6th grade Common Core math standard: CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.B.

This assessment can be used as a quiz after students have learned the algorithms for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division involving decimal numbers. It contains four word problems that would be solved by employing one of the four operations. The word problems all connect to each other like a story so students can see how everyday events involve operations with decimal numbers. The assessment is based on Common Core math standard: CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.B.3. I did not provide a rub

This 19-slide PowerPoint Presentation teaches the process of dividing by a decimal number through long division. It is based on Common Core 6th grade math standard: CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.B3. You could employ this instructional presentation anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on how much student interaction and stopping points are incorporated. This would also make for a great item to place on your teacher web site. Use it for full class instruction or individual use. First it introduces a

This is a worksheet that contains problems involving addition & subtraction of fractions & mixed numbers with unlike denominators. It makes use of Common Core 5th grade math standards. They include CCSS.Math.Content.5.NF.A.1 & CCSS.Math.Content.5.NF.A.2 under the domain Number & Operators - Fractions. The worksheet may be used as a quiz, classwork, or homework. On the front of the sheet, the 1st problem involves a scenario using fractions that are proper and asks 4 questions that involve estimat
