A sheet designed to set goals based on i-Ready diagnostic scores and expected growth. This sheet reflects the current 3rd grade Math expectations (range and growth). I designed this to emphasize goal-setting and keep my students accountable for and aware of their progress. I use these in data chats: the first one is after the initial diagnostic, and the subsequent ones include a pre- and post- diagnostic meeting (to set the goal and then discuss results).

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.

Great way to practice/develop multiplication/fact fluency. Can be used as morning work, center, etc. Can give students the equation or an array as a starting point. Includes Commutative and Distributive properties.

"Number of the Day" is a great way to teach/reinforce number sense. For these sheets, the students have to draw the number using base-10 blocks, draw a number line, write the number in various forms, add and subtract 1, 10, 20, and 100 from the number, and round it to the nearest ten and hundred. The four-to-a-sheet format saves paper :)

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.

Students choose (or are assigned) a historical figure to research. They find the specified information, then create a (shoe)box display of their information. Rubric for grading is included.

Students beg to do this project several times a year and reflect on it as one of the most memorable activities of the year. Students (or teachers) pick a vocabulary word (or a word from a current Social Studies, Science topics) and then create a costume to represent it, as well as fill out a brief worksheet. Students then dress up and present their costumes, practicing their Speaking and Listening skills as well as reinforcing vocabulary. Included: project worksheet, directions (to be sent hom
