Provide your students with many opportunities to practice solving division problems in which the remainder must be considered. (1) Use only the remainder (2) Ignore the remainder (3) Add one to the quotient (4) Share the remainder as a fraction or decimal (5) Determine the missing amount Included in this file are 30 division story problems that require the students to select an appropriate method for handling the remainder. Students will not be calculating the solutions to the division proble

This activity provides students with an opportunity to develop a 2-dimensional model of the eight major planets. Students will use Earth as the “unit” to approximate the diameters of the other planets, ultimately developing their own scale model (accurate for size but not for distance). Upon completion, students will have a better appreciation of the sizes of the planets in relation to one another. In addition, students will apply their math skills to calculate the diameter of each model in inch

Students are expected to utilize the steps of the Engineering Design Process in order to solve problems or meet challenges in STEM class. These organizers are a perfect way for them to record notes about each step of the design process. Knowing what should occur at each step will improve their ability to meet the expectations set by the teacher. Use these templates as a note taking aid for students as they learn about the Engineering Design Process. Students could also use the graphic organize

A rubric for assessing student work on solving math story problems. Point values are as follows: 0 (no response/off topic) 1 (emergent) 2 (developing) 3 (capable) 4 (strong) First page is meant for the teacher to use.

Expectations for behavior during math center rotations. How center work looks and sounds when students are on task.

This file includes "I Can" statements for each of the 5th grade Common Core State Standards for Math. Each standard has at least one "I Can" statement in student friendly language. Many have multiple "I Can" statements that break down lengthy standards into more manageable parts. Students will monitor their own progress and rate their level of understanding as they move through the Common Core Standards for Math. The "I CAN" Checklists allow students to mark off the standards that they have ma
