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.

4.NF.B.3.D Word Problems Involving the Addition and Subtraction of Fractions
1. These Lesson Plans solve word problems involving the addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators. The definition of "like" denominators has been extended to include fractions where one denominator is the multiple of the other denominator.
For example:
1/2 + 5/6
2. Students will create equations and model their solutions using both pictures and number lines. Students will check to see if their solutions make sense using their knowledge of benchmark fractions.

3.MD.C.7.A and 3.MD.C.7.B Finding the Area of Rectangles by Using Multiplication
1. These Lesson Plans explain that the area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the length by the width. Students create equations and explore both the commutative and distributive properties of multiplication. For example:
4 x 8 = 8 x 4 - Commutative Property
4 x 8 = (2 x 8) + (2 x 8) - Distributive Property
2. Students will solve three different categories of real world problems where either the area, one, or both of the side lengths is the unknown.
