***Newly updated as of August 2018! *Australian/British spelling added January 2020 Now includes: - multiple designs - black and white versions for printing on colored paper - completed and blank charts to add into notebooks These are small letter-size posters that, when lined up, spell out CUPS. Each poster specifies what each letter stands for (Capitalization, Usage, Punctuation, Spelling). I remind my kids to always check their CUPS when writing. When proofreading, I'll indicate the number of

These posters identify sentence stems for reciprocal teaching.

This is a game that consists of cards that include decimal models, word names, standard form, and fractions. Cut apart the cards, and give each pair of students a set to arrange and match the forms of decimals. A great follow-up activity is the Forms of Decimals Chart I also have for sale. (Some of the decimal model pictures are in color. For consistency, I suggest printing in black and white on colored cardstock.)

This is a version of an "I Have, Who Has" game that I designed on expanded form on numbers. A student reads aloud his or her card, and the student with the matching card responds by reading aloud his or her card. The game continues until all cards have been read aloud, and the game comes back to the student who began. In order to keep all students engaged during the game, a worksheet is included for students to use. This worksheet has students cross out or shade in the box that contains the numb

A printable activity for learning about common adages and proverbs. Students choose different adages/proverbs (64 common adages are provided, but you can always use your own) and provide a meaning, example, and illustration for each. Included: Photographs of student samples Header (for a display/bulletin board) Adage definition sheets (2 to a page, to save paper and copies) 64 adage cards My students enjoyed learning about the different adages and actually asked to do extras (good thing there

These pages were designed to help students record important information while learning about forces, motion, and gravity. Each page has two half-page-sized notes pages designed to be completed by the students and then glued into a notebook (if desired). The pages are designed to be learning tools for the students, so that they may refer back to them while studying or completing related assignments. Answer key provided!

***Newly updated as of August 2018!

Also included is a half-page sized paragraph that you can use to model or students can u

*Newly revised as of February 2015 I designed this product to be a TRULY interactive resource through which students can develop conceptual understanding necessary for multiplication. What it's NOT: - Cute foldables that students could easily make out of construction paper - Wasted copy points - A one-time activity that the students will never look at again - Pointless What is IS: - Guided note-taking and practice - Activities meant to develop concepts - Reference pages for students to refer

This PowerPoint is designed to help students understand different ways of making combinations and organized lists, by presenting information in a visual, interactive format. Examples include making combinations involving shoes and socks, snacks and drinks, and number combinations.

4.MD.1 Students complete tables to convert metric and customary units of length. This activity helps the students to notice the relationships between units of measure and then develop a rule for conversion.

I created this for an activity with probability. This can also be adapted to use with M&Ms. Using individual-sized bags of Skittles or M&Ms, students count out the number of candies total, and then record the number of each color of candy. They must then determine the probability of drawing each color from the bag. Students must determine which colors have the greatest and least probabilities of being drawn. They can then eat a few candies without looking at the colors, and determine what happen

“But I DID include it!” - many of my students This method is the product of several frustrated attempts at trying to get my students to write a well-constructed, evidence-supported, complete reading response. Despite my attempts at teaching them what the response should include (with the Constructed Response with Text Evidence Model), many students would inevitably leave out something (usually the text evidence and/or the explanation). I created this to help them to differentiate between the d

I created this PowerPoint so that the students would focus specifically on the properties of polygons and using those to classify them. Students become detectives and use the clues (properties) to identify the suspects (polygons).

Similar to the Skittles Probability I also have for sale, this activity is designed to be used with individual size bags of candies such as M&Ms. Students are to find the fractional amount of the whole bag for each color. They are also to order the fractional parts from least to greatest, and compare fractional amounts of different colors.

This is a one-page tool I created to assist students having difficulty with reading and writing large numbers. It describes how to change standard form to written form and vice versa. Additionally, it includes number words to assist with spelling.

This is a version of an "I Have, Who Has" game that I designed on multiplication facts. A student reads aloud his or her card, and the student with the matching card responds by reading aloud his or her card. The game continues until all cards have been read aloud, and the game comes back to the student who began. In order to keep all students engaged during the game, a worksheet is included for students to use. This worksheet has students fill out a multiplication table as products are read alo

4.NF.1 Basic introduction to equivalent fractions. Students experience different ways to determine equivalent fractions. It's not cutesy or anything, but it's very useful in helping students develop that conceptual understanding we need them to gain! If the fonts I used don't work for you, you can change them in 'Slide Master' view.

*Please note - the thumbnail image shows the formatting a little askew - the document actually consists of the text and picture box three times in three separate columns.* I designed this "birth announcement" for an activity on measurement. It's made to look like a birth announcement you might see in a newspaper. The bottom of the column includes a blank box for students to either paste or draw a picture of themselves as a baby. The students are then to fill in the information about themselves a
