This worksheet contains 6 problems adding and subtracting mixed numbers with unlike denominators. Each problem shows 1-2 steps used to solve the problem and each problem contains an error. These errors were ones that I've seen 5th graders make in adding/subtracting mixed numbers. Students must identify and name the error and then solve the problem correctly. This resource contains 3 different types of errors. It can be used as an early-finisher task, in class as a worksheet, as homework or a

This worksheet contains 6 problems multiplying mixed numbers times fractions/wholes/mixed numbers. Each problem shows several steps used to solve the problem and each problem contains an error. These errors are ones that I've seen 5th graders make in multiplying mixed numbers. There is one packet included where the problems are solved using the standard algorithm (convert the mixed number(s) to an improper fraction and then multiply). There is a separate packet where the problems are solved us

10 number puzzles requiring students to think outside the box. Low floor, high ceiling worksheet activities to encourage love of math and number connections. This resource contains 10 task cards with one problem each or 5 worksheets with 2 problems each. Each problem has a “goal number” and 8 numbers to play with. You can use each number up to one time with any operation(s), but you do not need to use each number every time. This resource is available in both color and black and white. I

A cut out and match activity where students must connect decimal numbers expressed in word form, standard form and expanded form. Students are challenged in this activity because each of the numbers has the same 4 digits! Students are further challenged to answer questions where they must compare the numbers to each other and order them from least to greatest. This resource contains a set of 13 different numbers each expressed in standard form, word form and expanded form. Students receive cu

This resource contains 20 problems making equivalent fractions and a cryptogram with a rhyme to help students remember the definition of equivalent fractions. Students solve the cryptogram by creating equivalent fractions and then filling in the corresponding number blank with the corresponding letter. Students will enjoy the end product of the rhyme in the cryptogram and have immediate feedback on whether they got the answer correct based on the numbers present in the cryptogram. This reso

This resource is a problem set where students must match the 6 multiplication sentences to their corresponding model and then answer questions explaining their thinking. Each multiplication results in the same answer but has different factors, allowing students to make connections between models and thoroughly think through the process of multiplication and the role of place value in multiplication. Students are further challenged to write other multiplication problems resulting in the same ans
