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.NBT.B.5 and 5.NBT.B.5 Multiplication of Whole Numbers
1. These Lesson Plans show the multiplication of whole numbers using strategies that increase students' knowledge of place value.
2. These Lesson Plans review the basic skills that students need to have acquired while in the third grade to successfully perform fourth grade multiplication. These third grade skills include:
- Knowing the products of all two one-digit numbers (6 x 4 = 24).
- The use of the commutative, associative, and distributive properties of multiplication.
- The use of

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

1. These Lesson Plans explain the division of whole numbers using strategies that increase students' understanding of place value.
2. These Lesson Plans review the basic skills that students need to have acquired while in the third grade to successfully perform fourth and fifth grade division. These third grade skills include:
- Knowing that the answer to a division problem can be found by arranging objects into equal groups or rows.
- Knowing the products of all two one-digit numbers (6

1. These Lesson Plans describe how to create area models by arranging base-ten pieces.
2. Students will create area models for one-digit by two-digit (example: 8 x 14) and two-digit by two-digit (example: 21 x 16) multiplication problems.
3. This skill can be utilized by fourth and fifth grade students in both the multiplication and division standards. Students will also create equations and use the partial products method of multiplication to find their solutions.

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

3.NBT.A.1 Rounding Whole Numbers
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

1. This third set of Lesson Plans for Standards 3.NBT.A.2 and 4.NBT.B.4 covers the subtraction of whole numbers using a strategy that increases students' understanding of place value.
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)
187 - 6 = 181

These Lesson Plans compare whole numbers. The numbers are compared using number lines, using words, by drawing pictures, and by using base-ten pieces.
Students will practice counting up and down incrementally on a number line by tens and hundreds when comparing numbers. (Second Grade Standard 2.NBT.B.8). For example:
Which is greater?
573 ____________ 337 + 100 + 100
Students will also use words when comparing numbers. For example:

1. By the end of the third grade, students are expected to know from memory all of the products of two one-digit numbers. (Standard 3.OA.C.7).
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

1. These Lesson Plans explain patterns when whole numbers and decimals are multiplied and divided by powers of ten. (For example: 10, 100, and 1,000).
2. When a number is multiplied by a power of ten, the digits move the same number of places to the left as the number of zeros in the power of ten. The digits then increase in value.
3. When a number is divided by a power of ten, the digits move the same number of places to the right as the number of zeros in the power of ten. The digits
