This resource includes step-by-step instructions for finding the common denominator of two fractions. There are six problems where students will find the common multiples of each denominator, then will create equivalent fractions using the least common multiple as a common denominator. After students solve all 6 problems, the class can discuss how to determine the LCD without listing the multiples of each denominator. Page 2 includes prompts for note-taking after discovering the strategies for

This activity is perfect for the first week of school, decorations for open house night, or just a fun way to practice order of operations and writing equations! Each student will write equations for their age, shoe size, number of siblings, birth date, and number of pets. This activity is easy to differentiate for students in different grade levels or with differing ability levels. I suggest beginning this activity by creating examples of equations as a class for a few of the prompts. For examp

I created this worksheet and scavenger hunt for an all girls STEM-careers camp. The girls were ages 6-12, so we completed the worksheet together, and did the scavenger hunt in two groups based on age. The clues for the scavenger hunt will probably need to be rewritten based on the locations you have available. Additionally, the answer to the first question on the worksheet is "girls rock", and this may also need to be changed in a typical classroom or enrichment setting. Overall, this is a great

This resource contains eight fraction sorts elementary math students. Each sort contains 12 math problems to be sorted into 2, 3, or 4 categories. These activities provide reinforcement to help students practice each topic. The topics include: Simplifying fractionsSimplest form sort (choose whether or not the fraction is already simplified)Compare fractions to 1/2- benchmark fraction sortCompare fractionsAdding and subtracting fractions (simplified answers)Decomposing fractionsMultiplying fracti
