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.MD.B.4 and 5.MD.B.2 Line Plots Using Mixed Numbers to 1/4 of a Whole
1. These Lesson Plans create line plots using mixed numbers to fractions of 1/4 of a whole.
2. Students practice the addition of mixed numbers by breaking the mixed numbers apart into whole numbers plus fractions and adding each of these parts separately. Students practice the subtraction of mixed numbers by using the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. (Fourth and Fifth Grade Standards 4.NF.B.3.C and 5.NF.A.1).

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

3.MD.C.7.C Using Rectangles to Model the Distributive Property of Multiplication
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. This second set of Lesson Plans for Standard 5.MD.B.2 explains how to graph a set of data on a line plot using fractions to 1/8 of a whole.
2. These Lesson Plans include a discussion on how to partition a number line to 1/8 intervals, find equivalent fractions on the number line, and create and solve an expression to find the mean or average.
3. Students also have the opportunity to perform and describe a science experiment based on the line plot data.

1. This third set of Lesson Plans for Standard 5.MD.B.2 provides additional practice partitioning number lines and creating line plots using fractions to 1/8 of a whole. Students create line plots using up to 14 data points and continue to create expressions and perform operations with the fractions.
2. These Lesson Plans include templates that allow teachers to modify and create additional practice problems for students.

5.MD.B.2 An Introduction to Line Plots Using Whole Numbers
1. These Lesson Plans provide an introduction to fifth grade line plots using whole numbers.
2. Students will learn how to create a line plot from a set of data, how to use the line plot to create and solve an expression, and how to perform all additional calculations to find the mean and the range of the set of data.

These Lesson Plans explain that volume is an attribute of solid figures or three-dimensional shapes. Volume is a measurement of how much space a solid figure occupies or "takes up." Volume can be measured by finding a figure's capacity, or how much of either a liquid or a solid the figure can hold.
In these Lesson Plans students will:
- Learn the difference between plane (two-dimensional) and solid (three-dimensional figures).
- Locate and describe three-dimensional figures around the clas

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.

1. These Lesson Plans explain that all plane figures or shapes have the characteristic of area. The area of a shape can be found by either "tiling" the shape or tracing the shape onto a sheet of graph paper and counting the square units.
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.
