About the store
For the past 11 years, I have provided small group math support to children in the second, third, fourth, and fifth grades. During this time I have worked with well over 600 students.
My resources consist of ready-made, turnkey math lesson plans and worksheets. Each lesson plan includes an instructor's guide, which provides a clear explanation for each Common Core Standard covered. A corresponding student worksheets section creates ample opportunity for students to practice and master all required skills.
My materials allow differentiation within the classroom because they have been designed to help instruct children who may be struggling with a particular grade level math concept, and also as enrichment activities.

Pictures and a description of the attributes of 6 quadrilaterals (rhombus, trapezoid, square, rectangle, parallelogram and kite) which can be used as a study guide (3.G.1). 2. A 2 page worksheet where students identify quadrilaterals from a picture and describe the attributes of the shapes (3.G.1). 3. An activity where students categorize the quadrilaterals according to the

3.NBT.A.3 Multiplying One-Digit Numbers by Multiples of Ten
1. These Lesson Plans cover the multiplication of one-digit numbers by multiples of ten ranging from 10 to 90. For example:
7 x 80 = 560
2. Students will create expressions and use strategies based on place value and the associative property of multiplication. For example:
7 x 8 x 10 = 560
3. Students will also continue to learn basic multiplication facts (such as 7 x 8) by using the distributive property of multiplication. For example:
(7 x 8) = (7 x 4) + (7 x 4)

1. This fourth set of Lesson Plans for Standards 3.NBT.A.2 and 4.NBT.B.4 covers the subtraction of whole numbers by using the inverse or opposite relationship between addition and subtraction. In other words, third grade students will count up when solving a subtraction problem. (Third Grade Standard 3.NBT.A.2).
For example, in solving 523 - 384, students will create the following addition problem and solve by counting up:
384 + ? = 523

3.MD.C.7.D Area of Rectilinear Figures as Additive
1. These Lesson Plans explain that the area of a rectilinear figure can be found by dividing the shape into smaller rectangles. The partial area of the smaller rectangles can then be added together to find the total area of the figure.
2. Students will divide figures, create and solve expressions, find unknown side measurements, and solve real world problems as part of these Lesson Plans.
For example:
(2 x 6) + (1 x 5) + (3 x 5) + (2 x 6) =
12 + 5 + 15 + 12 = 44 square units

1. These Lesson Plans explain that rectangles can be tiled to model the distributive property of multiplication. The distributive property is a strategy that is used in the third grade to assist with the learning of the more "difficult" multiplication facts.
For example: (7 x 8) = (7 x 4) + (7 x 4)
2. Students will break various rectangles into a sum of smaller parts. The areas of each of these smaller parts are then added together to find the total area of the rectangle.

1. These Lesson Plans partition number lines into equal parts and explore unit fractions, or fractions with a numerator of 1 (fraction 1/b).
2. Students will learn that fractions with a numerator greater than 1 (fraction a/b) are made up of a sum of unit fractions.
3. Students will solve word problems that locate fractions less than one whole on number lines. Students will learn the importance of using the same size "one whole" when drawing these number lines. (Third Grade Standard 3.NF

1. This first set of Lesson Plans for Standards 3.NBT.A.2 and 4.NBT.B.4 covers the addition of whole numbers using a strategy that increases students' understanding of place value.
2. Third grade students add whole numbers by expanding each number and adding each place separately. (Standard 3.NBT.A.2) For example:
348 + 236 =
300 + 200
40 + 30
8 + 6
= 500 + 70 + 10 + 4 = 584

In these Lesson Plans, students will round whole numbers up to 1,000 to the nearest ten and hundred.
As part of these Lesson Plans, students will increase their number sense by locating the number to be rounded on a number line. They will then practice counting incrementally up and down on the number line to find the nearest ten or hundred. (Second Grade Standard 2.NBT.B.8 and Third Grade Standard 3.NBT.A.2).
Students will also practice finding all of the "tens" between two hundreds. (For e

2. Third grade students subtract whole numbers by expanding the lower number and then counting down from the higher number incrementally. (Third Grade Standard 3.NBT.A.2).
For example: 237 - 56 =
237 - 50 = 187 (Students can count down as 227, 217, 207, 197, and 187)

1. These Lesson Plans explain that fractions are equivalent if they are the same size or located at the same position on a number line.
2. Students will draw pictures and partition a set of number lines to show fraction equivalence. (3.NF.A.3.A)
3. As third grade students work with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8, the simple equivalent fractions generated are:
1/4 = 2/8
1/3 = 2/6
1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8
2/3 = 4/6
3/4 = 6/8 and
1/1 = 2/2 = 3/3 = 4/4 = 6/6 = 8/8. (3.NF.A.3.B)

Each length is made up of a unit fraction, or a fraction with a numerator of 1 (fraction 1/b). The unit fractions that third grade students work with are 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, and 1/8.

2. These Lesson Plans explain the strategies and concepts used to help students learn their multiplication facts. These strategies include:
- Identifying patterns within the multiplication tables. (Standard 3.OA.D.9).
- Understanding that the product (answer) in a multiplication problem can be thought of as the total number of objects, when the

2. Students will solve word problems by partitioning number lines and shapes into equal parts to compare fractions that are within one whole.

4 x 8 = 8 x 4 - Commutative Property
4 x 8 = (2 x 8) + (2 x 8) - Distributive Property

2. Students begin by finding the area of several smaller benchmark shapes and then use these areas as a reference point to estimate the area of additional classroom objects.
