3 and 4 digit subtraction with regrouping These sheets start with a model for the kids. When we are first reteaching subtraction with regrouping at the beginning of the year we love to use these because it forces them to check their work. There is plenty of practice with subtraction across 0 (zero). These are used to supplement core math during our intervention block. Generally we correct them with the kids.

This is a unit my partner teacher and I have used for several years to address graphing. Our new core program does a better job with graphing than our previous curriculum. However one week of graphing is still not enough. We spread this unit over 12 weeks. One day a week we have 40 minutes for math instead of the regular 90 minutes so we plug this into that spot for 12 weeks. We use these sheets as CFA’s common formative assessments. We have other graphing activities that we use for a lesson but

Experience

I am in my 27th year of teaching. I spent 10 years teaching special education ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade. After 10 years I had the opportunity to transition to general education. I have enjoyed teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.

Teaching style

I am a strongly believe in trying to reach students via their mode of learning. I also believe greatly in knowing what your target is and being very strategic with instruction. We are lucky enough to have Smartboards in every classroom of our school. Students greatly enjoy working on the board. The more engaged they are the more they learn. My special education background helps understand the vast range of abilities found in the classroom from year to year.
