Using your student's five senses in mathematics!!! Motivate your students with M&M's. You students will be doing the following:
counting
number ID
comparing (greater & less than)
adding & subtracting
tasting
The file contains two games. first game focuses of number ID. Second games is a addition and subtractions game. Remember the goal of both games is to eat the M&M's!!
This lesson is used to evaluate student's knowledge and skill level. The file includes: Four - Part Constructed Response worksheet, four point rubric, and two word problems.
Using their own words, Students explain how to add and subtract mixed numbers. The file also has the following:
-A vocabulary word list is provided.
-Writing prompt
-Extra credit section
Here is a small group activity for kindergarten. Great sorting, counting, and counting activity. Small M&M's bag will be needed for each student. M&M's not included!0!
Over the years I have found it difficult to keep everyone involved during group and Think-Pair-Share discussions. This worksheet has been over the years to eliminate inappropriate/off topic discussions.
The worksheet is completed and collected on a weekly basis or when needed.
The four part constructed response organizer is a tool i have used over the years to help students organize their math approach/plan. The organizer is used to solve multiple step word problems. Included is a student/teacher rubric.
The worksheets are designed to test your students' surface area knowledge. Students explain step-by-step, using the vocabulary words provided, how to solve each problem.
Here is another fun game that my 5th graders have enjoyed over the years. If your students are having difficulties adding integers try this fun interactive game. They can use scratch paper to to their work (charge particle models). Enjoy!!
This file includes prediction instructions and a worksheet for the activity. Students predict how many stars they can draw in one minutes. While one student draws, the other student keeps track of the time. Check out the file for more and enjoy this fun activity!
This file contains a surface area pop quiz. Students are to draw a net of prism shown. Then, they are to find its surface area.
The file also has a rubric and a parent signature section. It is quick and direct. This is a five minute pop quiz.
The file is to be cut/split down the middle and you have two quizzes.
Pre-Algebra Notebook Cover and Progress Card
Notebook Cover and Progress Card are inserted in each student's clear overlay front and back (Progress Card).
Progress Cards are a tool used to keep parents in the loop as students complete a Chapter/Topic and Assessment. In addition, it provides the teacher a tool to consistently grade student's notebook as they finish a chapter/topic. Each sheet accommodates six chapters/topics.
Typically each student math notebook (binder) has the following
This rubric is for the audience to actively grade their peers as they see their peers present mathematic projects.
The rubric contains the following subgroups:
-Eye Contact & Posture (100 pts.)
-Entusiasm & Pronunciation (100 pts.)
-Organization & Subject Knowledge (100 its.)
The students may also include one wish and one like of the presentation.
The file also comes in color and in black & white.
The graphs are designed to present data in a concise and visual way that makes it possible to see relationships in the data.
Building Graphs is designed for kindergarten, but can also help 1st and 2nd graders. It has an extension for 1st and 2nd graders. First and second can use the data graphs to explore fractions with its probing questions.

The file contains over 10 portfolio covers sheets for different subjects and activities.
The cover sheets are interactive. They allow students to write why they chose and what they learned from that particular lesson/activity.
