I love the book Because of Mr. Terrupt. I also have an ongoing poster of dollar words that kids add to as they discover them. However, I feel it's too difficult for them to find them without hints. These are 4 separate half sheets of Dollar Words. Each sheet has ten word on them. The beginning letter and a small hint is provided. I give out one per week and students work on them with extra time. They love it. Simple, fun, ongoing activity to supplement the book. Complete with answer key

Students have problems estimating heights. This project is complete with a suggested single website which they will use to locate information about the skyscrapers of Cleveland.

My students enjoy this activity and it really gets them thinking about fractions and geometry. For example, they will be asked to draw 20 bulbs and color 1/5 of them red. The project also touches on area and perimeter as well as some geometry vocabulary and usage. We use our Everyday Math Geometry Templates (can see image of one online), but the project can be adjusted for them to freehand draw the shapes. Challenging and engaging activity.

Perfect for introduction or reinforcement of 5.MD.4 and 5.MD.5. Complete step, by step instructions with two different student sheets. Students use cubes to crate various volumes.
