I created this rubric for my class to assess their demonstration of knowledge, collaboratively, after a field trip. The way I set it up gives me the ability to not only grade groups of students but to give individual students the credit that is due to them. This prevents students from either dominating or slacking, as they each are accountable for their own demonstration of knowledge and contribution to the presentation. There is also room for extra credit if students went above and beyond. I be

This template is what I have ultimately decided works best for my students in Middle School Math. I can see it being used in upper elementary as well. I wanted to make sure students were writing down the assignment info as well as communicating which problems they needed help on and holding them accountable to advocating for themselves by providing space for a parent/tutor/teacher signature. In upper elementary and middle school, we are really trying to develop executive functioning skills, and

This is the lesson plan template I used when I taught Kindergarten Enrichment. It includes math, reading, writing, and enrichment centers.

This is a helpful poster I display in my middle school classroom when talking about exponents and roots. I used 5^3=625 as my model. As you can see, the root or base is the roots of the tree, the exponent or index is the trunk, and the power or radicand is the leaves. I designed my visual this way in order that students would be able to visualize the connection between roots and exponents, going up or down the tree. As a hands-on activity, I also had my students design their own trees for differ

This is part 3 of a unit on division. The pie analogy from the previous two lessons has been converted to a track analogy. With that combined with the Compatible Number theory and real-world examples, teachers are going to see a lot more A-ha moments from their students!

This is part 2 of a unit on division. I recommend the "Bite Method" be taught to students who already struggle with traditional Long Division as it reinforces number sense. Combined with the pie analogy and Compatible Number theory, teachers are going to see a lot more A-ha moments from their students!

This is a 3-lesson unit on division, featuring my "Bite Method" and "pie analogy". I recommend the "Bite Method" be taught to students who already struggle with traditional Long Division as it reinforces number sense. Combined with the pie/racetrack analogies and Compatible Number theory, teachers are going to see a lot more A-ha moments from their students! I hope you and your students enjoy the fun slides and real-world applications!
