This PowerPoint presents a four step process to solving multi-step word problems, something many students struggle with. Includes introduction to steps, sample problems with step-by-step implementation/explanation of steps, as well as practice problems with answers on the next slide. Notes and annotations on slides as well.

I designed these when I noticed students rushing through their independent work and making errors in the process. Students are to fill these out and attach them to whatever practice they have been assigned. It helps them take more responsibility for their work, as they have to reflect on what they are about to submit. It is also a useful (informal) assessment tool for me.

This worksheet features 6 problems which depict a section of a multiplication table with missing factors. Each problem progresses in number of missing numbers/difficulty.

I use this as a center in my classroom. Students use fraction strips to find the various equivalent fractions. It's a good way for them to cement benchmark fractions as well.
