This Tic-Tac-Toe Choice Board allows students to choose which activities they would like to complete while or after reading THE WISH GIVER novel. Activities include reading, writing, math, art, and history choices. The activities are designed to both foster students' creativity and create interest. In addition, there is a bonus activity where students can choose to research the Salem Witch Trials. Students choose either three or six activities to complete per the teacher's discretion, but y

This file contains 11 quizzes/practice sheets that cover Common Core multiplication and division concepts for fourth grade. In addition there is also a practice unit test with 14 questions, and a unit test with 27 questions. The quizzes, practice sheets, and tests cover the following multiplication and division concepts: -multiplicative comparisons -multiplication using the area model -multiplication using partial products -multiplication using the distributive property -multiplication using e

This file contains 19 pages, and each page contains four cut-apart cards. There are a total of 68 questions, covering every fourth grade Common Core math concept. Cards are numbered and the Common Core standard is listed on each. There is also a student answer sheet included if you choose to use it. (I would recommend printing the cards on card stock and laminating them so you can reuse the activity from year to year.) Some standards have only one question, but there are multiple questions

Using models, students can see the relationship between mixed numbers and improper fractions. I generally provide either the mixed number or improper fraction, and then have the student shade the models and provide the corresponding mixed number or improper fraction. This file also contains a set of concentration cards. Students make matches by pairing the improper fraction with its mixed number. 18 cards are included. I've also included a cut-and-paste activity where students place eleven im

This file contains an assessment for each of the fourth grade Common Core fractions standards. Included are: -an 18-question Equivalent Fractions and Simplest Form Quiz -a 21-question Common Denominators and Equivalent Fractions Quiz -a 13-question Common Denominators and Equivalent Fractions Practice Quiz -a 30-question Renaming, Adding, Subtracting, and Multiplying Fractions Test -a 30-question Renaming, Adding, Subtracting, and Multiplying Fractions Practice Test -a 25-question Adding, Subtr

This 202 page file contains high-quality photos of all the math notes I gave my students during the school year. It shows how I taught each math concept. My students were successful, scoring in the top 15% of all fourth-grade math students in the state of North Carolina. I attribute much of this success to note-taking, which is a powerful method of teaching as the student must engage his/her senses of sight, hearing, and touch. The notes are organized so that all students have the same in

This file contains 3 items: a 50-question measurement review quiz, a 30-question unit test, and a 30-question practice test. The 30-question test test covers fourth-grade Common Core measurement conversions (pounds, ounces, liters, milliliters, hours, minutes, meters, centimeters, feet, inches, yards, kilograms, and grams) and solving word problems involving length, distance, time, capacity, mass, and money. It also contains a 30-question practice test that could be used for review, homework

This 20-question multiple-choice test covers addition, subtraction, and rounding. Four of the questions are comparison problems and use the bar model to help the student solve the problem. -Created by Mac Daniel

This 28-question test covers: -fractional parts of circles -converting fractions to degrees -finding unknown angle measures -classifying triangles and quadrilaterals -symmetry It also comes with a bubble sheet where students can record their answers for easy grading.

This 20-question test covers the following 4th-grade Common Core objectives: -factor pairs -multiples -prime numbers -composite numbers -number patterns -shape patterns This would also be suitable for review, reteaching, or homework. -Created by Mac Daniel

This file contains five separate assessments, one for each Common Core strand: geometry, measurement and data, numbers in base ten, fractions, and operations and algebraic thinking. The questions vary by strand, but there are 52 in all (9 for G, 8 for MD, 11 for NBT, 13 for NF, and 11 for OA). This could be used as a practice test for end of grade or separately to determine areas for remediation. -made by Mac Daniel

This file contains a total of 144 cards and covers the following fourth grade Common Core concepts: -matching tenths with corresponding decimal equivalents -matching hundredths with corresponding decimal equivalents -matching decimals with hundreds board models -matching tenths and hundredths addition problems with sums -matching decimals with number line models The game contains a total of 72 matches, with some cards having multiple matches (for example, a student could match with 0.7 with its

This 32-question test covers the following fourth-grade Common Core concepts: -using place value to round numbers -adding and subtracting multi-digit whole numbers -solving multi-step word problems using all four operations -applying area and perimeter formulas for rectangles This would also be suitable for review, reteaching, or even homework. -Created by Mac Daniel

Each sheet contains four puzzle pieces, which when put together equal the same number and reveal an idiom and its meaning. Each puzzle requires students to reach an answer one of four ways: - using the traditional multiplication algorithm - using place value to add - using the area model to get the product - using partial products to add Students then match pieces with the same answers and put them together to complete the holiday-themed picture along with the idiom and its meaning. There are f

This file contains four different scavenger hunts, each with 17 questions. Each set has the same letter in the upper left corner (A, B, C, or D). The entire file contains 68 questions and covers all the fourth-grade Common Core math objectives. The objective for each problem is located in the top right corner. Set up is quick and easy, and students stay engaged! Directions: Mix up and place all the cards from one set around the classroom. Students start at any problem, solve, write down the

This document is meant to help fourth graders master the division algorithm. It also addresses the concept of partial quotients and interpreting remainders. This document first walks students step-by-step through a simple division problem. It guides them by telling them what to do and providing boxes where they write the numbers. There are two more problems at the bottom of the first page where students can practice without the step-by-step instruction. The boxes encourage students to keep t

This 27-question test covers the following Common Core concepts: -multiplication comparisons -comparisons using algebra -multiplying greater numbers using various strategies -multiplying using the distributive property -multiplying using expanded form -multiplying with regrouping -Created by Mac Daniel

This 20-question test covers the students' understanding of place value. In addition, it covers their ability to read and write multi-digit numbers. This file also contains a 14-question sheet suitable as a practice test, homework, review, or however you want to use it. Both could be suitable for reteaching or homework. -Created by Mac Daniel

This PowerPoint presentation contains 48 slides and covers basic geometry concepts, such as: polygonscircles (including chords, diameters, circumference, radius, and center)plane figuressolid figuresgeometric terms (edge, face, vertex)points, lines, segments, rays, angles parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting linesacute, obtuse, right angles, and straight angles

This three-page document contains directions on how to use the area model, three practice problems, and an answer key. The area model on the directions page is color coded to make using the model easier to understand. This could be useful to add to a student's notebook as a reference or sent home to parents who aren't sure how to help their children use this method.
