Use this set of 20 real-world word problems about adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators to make an engaging math center for your students! Students need a lot of practice when mastering addition and subtraction of fractions with unlike denominators, so grab this resource. The word problems use both fractions and mixed numbers. Some problems require regrouping. To help keep your students engaged, a game board and a spinner are also included to use with the task cards. A re

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

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

Master interpreting word problems with addition and subtraction of decimals in joining and removing scenarios with this numberless word problems card set! 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 using joining and removing addition and subtraction s

Models of decimal 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 o

Introduce, practice and assess decimal division using the algorithm with this interactive notebook set. Use problem solving skills to determine that a situation is division and how to set up a decimal division problem. This resource includes a mini book, two practice activities, and a four problem formative, test prep style, assessment. All of the activities are designed to be low prep and fit perfectly in your students notebooks or composition books. Check out the preview to see everything

Review the multiplication algorithm and apply it to multiplying decimal numbers to the hundredths place with this interactive notebooks set that includes a mini book, two practice activities, and a test prep style assessment. Use your lesson time wisely with this low prep notebook activity. All pieces are designed to fit neatly into your students' interactive notebooks and are jam-packed with info to minimize copying, cutting, folding, and gluing so that you can make the most of your prep and i

Introduce multiplication of fractions using area models, scaling, and equivalent expressions with this interactive notebook set aligned to 5th math Common Core and 6th math TEKS. Use these materials to introduce reading and creating area models, the idea of fractions as a division expression, and multiplication as scaling (whether multiplication will cause the product to be great or less than the initial value with and without computation). Also included are 4 problem solving questions, a prac

This math center game has students practice creating algebraic expressions from expressions in word form. The phrases use a wide variety of vocabulary to allow students to become familiar with many ways of wording. Look at the cards in the preview to see the multiple phasing of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division expressions! For example, a student is asked to write algebraic expressions for subtraction from phrases using the following wording: *subtract from *remove from *minu

Teach solving one-step equations to your students using this set of notes, activities, and assessments. Start by modeling equations using balanced scales and other objects. Then use the notes to help students understand and learn the steps to solving one-step equations algebraically. This unit is designed to fit neatly in your students' interactive notebooks while also providing easy to copy and use pages that take almost no time to prep. This unit covers introduction through models, solving
