These pages are designed as an introduction to fourth grade place value and rounding. I have used these for the past two years. We glue the notes pages into our notebooks and fill in the blanks and answers as a class. There are 3 practice pages included. Sometimes I use these as independent practice, and sometimes I use these in my small groups. This resource includes notes for place value, standard/word/expanded form, and rounding. There is a practice page for each skill. I have also inclu

Are you looking for a creative outlet without sacrificing content? This holiday card activity is the perfect way to blend math and ELA with your students’ artistic talents. They will simply answer each question, then add design elements to a greeting card based on their answers. To connect to writing, you could have students write friendly letters or poems on the inside of the cards. To extend this activity to a community building exercise, you could have students trade cards, give cards to teac

No prep emoji themed activity! Just print, give directions, and watch your students enjoy math! This product has 3 levels- low level, on level, and above level.

Have your current students write a welcome letter with tips for your future students! My kids love creating these brochures at the end of the year. They reflect on their favorite activities, write tips for success, and help future students get to know the teacher. Then, I hold on to the brochures over the summer for my next class. On the first day of school, these are waiting on the desks for my new students to read. It's a hit every year and a great way to build community within the school

This resource includes 27 multi-step word problems aligned to fourth grade CCSS. I have included 2 options for implementing these word problems. The first option is a daily warm-up. The second option includes separate word problems that students can cut and glue in their notebooks or on a sheet of paper. These can be used whole group, small group, as part of cooperative learning, or as a "finished early" activity. I designed these to prepare students for the rigorous multi-step problems on

Set the tone during the first few minutes of the school year! I like to begin each year with this simple activity. It is designed so students will be able to complete it without any questions. This gives me the opportunity to greet each student and start building relationships during the first five minutes of the year! It also helps students ease into a daily routine and understand that our classroom is a structured environment. This is the perfect tone to establish in any room! For the wa
