Introduce the idea of equivalent fractions with this guided exploration using pattern blocks. Students are asked to explore, construct meaning, and generalize to novel situations about equivalent fractions.

Students explore parallel and perpendicular lines with this mapping activity that ties in nicely with social studies & geography. In one version, students are encouraged to make their own map and analyze the lines. In another version (typically given for homework), students analyze a completed map. Includes: *Directions *Checklist *Rubric *Homework/Alternate Version with extensions

Students will explore the properties of both line and rotational symmetry using 10 shapes in the context of a real-world problem. **Tiered & Differentiated** Includes three task cards: pink (least complex), orange (average complexity) and green (most complex). Differentiate by readiness. All students use the same materials (shapes A - J) and role analysis sheet (using R.A.F.T.S.). Also includes two challenge/extension pages for students that finish early.

Students explore the difference between theoretical and experimental probability, and deduce the law of large numbers, using M&Ms and the scientific methods. Students will question, make predictions, gather and analyze data, and draw conclusions.

Students follow the scientific method as they conduct a survey of peers, family and friends. Students will represent the data using an appropriate graph, analyze responses, and draw conclusions.

Students love tying in their knowledge of coordinate points and graphing in math to characters like Kissin' Kate Barlow from "Holes," by Louis Sachar. Enjoy the game!

**Tiered & Differentiated** Students explore the properties of area and perimeter (using whole numbers) within a real-world context. Included in this lesson are 3 tiers (color-coded) for differentiation, three graphic organizers to provide scaffolded support, and quick rubrics for assessment. This is an excellent supplement to your regular math routines that promotes critical thinking and generalizing about math.

Download this supplementary kit about range, median, mean and mode. Includes: - handouts about each of the terms, giving examples.- an exploratory practice using a sample set of data - practice pages (with answer keys) - an extension encouraging the students to collect their own data

Students can fill out this 'passport' to show how many of the penguin-themed multiplication review pages they have completed. Quick review with problem solving before an assessment.

Students practice decomposing 100 with this fun version of Go Fish.

Students design Chinese lanterns to demonstrate their knowledge of the associative property of multiplication.
