Making Primary Math Fun

Students can solve a three digit by single digit multiplication problem four different ways (place value chart, standard algorithm, area model, & partial products). Great visual for interactive notesbook or a math bulletin board.

To compare fractions, students will cut and sort if a fraction is less than 1/2, equal to 1/2, or more than 1/2. Students will then use the fraction sort to compare fractions.

Students will use materials to each create a poster displaying the various ways of representing a given decimal.  The different forms/ways include place value discs, money, fraction, tape diagram, unit form, and area model.   An example of what the poster can look like is also shown. The last pages are materials that can be printed for students to use to create their poster.  You can use the template on page 2, or print out the materials and provide the students with a larger piece of paper to c

Use this template to reinforce bundling and unbundling within our base 10 place value number system. Students will then see why the vertical form works! Use the first and second pages into dry erase sleeves or print page 3 for classwork/homework. Specifically used for Grade 5 Engage NY Module 1

Engage NY activity for Grade 5 Module 4 Lesson 22. Students will cut out the expressions and sort them based on the scaled factor. If the scaled factor is less than 1 whole, it will make the product less than the whole number factor. If the scaled factor is more than 1 whole, it will make the product greater than the whole number factor. If the scaled factor is equal to 1 whole, it will make the product equal to the whole number factor.

Teacher Directions: 20 Measurable "Stickers" are included, data table and line plot number line, and follow up questions. Print one set of themed stickers A-T. You can print it on cardstock to reuse them from year to year.  Distribute one "sticker" to each student. Have the students measure their sticker to the nearest 1/8 inch.  Collect the data as a class and record the data in the table.  Answer key shows the measurement of each sticker.  Students will then create a line plot with the data fo

ENGAGE NY resource! READ DRAW WRITE! Students use this template when solving word problems mimicking a traffic light (red, yellow, green). They first turn the question into a "target statement", they then draw a picture, and finally write any calculations needed to answer the question. This can be used for grades K-6.
