This is an easy way to send little notes home to parents and ensure that parents are viewing items sent home each week! You can edit it week to week and change dates, name, and grade as need be!
These simple posters can be used in many ways. Print them on any color paper you like and display them around your classroom. They are a great way to remind ourselves and our students about the attitudes and practices of being a mathematician!
I made this to send home with parents to encourage literacy at home! It has a few simple ideas and tricks and eye-catching enough that they can hang it somewhere like a fridge and refer back to it!
I used these to help students look at problems and discuss what the numbers mean, It has them thinking about the label for the quotient and remainder as well as considering how to interpret the remainder to find an answer.
I use this sign to have my students hold up for a photo on the first day of school! This is a really fun addition to a "time capsule", or any other beginning of the year activity!

This sheet is great for practice in using the standard algorithm for adding and subtracting, with some regrouping problems. Students will find the answer to a joke about Lewis and Clark by correctly solving the 12 equations. Additionally the answer/letter match up provides a self check oppurtunity.
This is a great way to start the conversation about Mythology. I used this to have kids think about how they think FACT is a direct contradiction of Myth, and it can lead into an awesome discussion of why myths were created and what their purposes are. You can offer a small extention by having kids write on the back why they chose to sort how they did!
This is intended for a small anchor chart for students to refer to throughout the year. I chose words that are commonly misspelled and some that are commonly used in my classroom that students can attach to the inside of an ELA notebook or folder.
Students need to fill in the boxes in order to show how to correctly solve equations using partial products. This would be great if you had just introduced the topic and students aren't completely independent yet.
This is a great introductory or beginning of the year assignment. Students can write a poem or a paragraph at the bottom about themselves to introduce themselves to the class, and then draw a "selfie" to show who they are!
This is a quick way to check where your students are with interpreting remainders. It gives one problem per strategy so that you are immediately aware of where you need to focus with each kid.
