Have you heard of numberless word problems? Using numberless word problems is great way to change your students' thinking about problem solving and help them become resilient problem solvers! This set of 10 numberless word problems will help engage your students in mathematical discussion over single-step and two-step whole number multiplication and division problems. Multiplication problems are up to 3-digit by 2-digit and the division problems are up to 4-digit dividends and 2-digit divisor

Practice interpreting multiplication and division word problems with this set of 20 paired task cards. These word problems are written in a purposeful way to teach your students how to differentiate between multiplication or division scenarios. All the questions are with in 4-digit by 1-digit multiplication or 4-digit by 1-digit division. Take a look at the preview to see how the problems are intentional paired with similar scenarios and the same numbers to encourage students to use solid stra

This unit has everything you need to teach divisibility to your upper elementary or middle school students. Use anchor chart posters and systematic scripted lesson plans to ensure your students learn divisibilty rules and the mental math practices behind the rules. The rules and techniques are helpful and practical. Developed systematically from my own classroom practices with at-risk, special needs, and even advanced learners, these lessons will work in your classroom, too. For example, th

Begin your order of operations unit with this math task card activity created specifically with beginners in mind! This set includes mixed operations with whole numbers but no exponents or grouping symbols. The numbers have been carefully selected for each problem so that the students must use order of operations to solve the problems. The numbers look "friendly" when solved in the wrong order so that you can be assured that your students are truly using order of operations to solve the probl

Topics covered include: arrays and area models, standard algorith with up to 4-digits x 1-digit, standard algorithm with 2-digit x 2-digit, the alternative algorithm of partial products, and the estimation of multiplication using rounding. Perfect squares within 15 by 15 and multiplication by 10 and 100 are also covered. This set of notes and activities is aligned to TEKS 4.4B, 4.4C. 4.4D, 4.4G

Teach your students about how to use strip diagrams to represent multi-step problems with a variable standing for an unknown. Your students will learn about the uses of strip diagrams as tools for representing equations. Write equations that represent word problems as well--both single equations and step by step equations. This set of notes and activities is aligned to TEKS 4.5A!This set includes: ► Representing Multi-Step Problems interactive mini-book ► Strip Diagrams & Equations Match

Models of multiplication include area models, repeated addition, and partial products. In this math center, students will match a variety of multiplication models to numeric expressions and products. The models used include base ten area models, rectangular area models, 100s grid models, repeated addition models, and partial products grids. An extension activity guiding students through the process of evaluating using partial products is included. The teacher guide gives you ideas on how to
