Making Primary Math Fun

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

Students will solve a riddle, "Why was the obtuse angle sad?". Teachers will display task cards (pages 1-13) around the room. Each student will get page 14 and 15. Page 15 can be used to help the students physically turn each picture based on the directions. Students will then record the letter for their answer on their answer document (page 14). For example, when the students turn the arrow 90 degrees to the left, they should look for that image on their answer document and record the lett

Students will practice converting fractional customary or metric units (i.e. 3/4 pound to ounces). This activity will reinforce fraction x a whole. Provide pages 1-2 for each student. Print 1 set of pages 3-7 (cutting each task card out) and display the questions around the room. Students can begin at any question. The answer to their question, will determine what letter to put down on their student workspace. Eventually they will spell out the answer to the riddle, "You go at red, but sto

Students will add and subtract fractions/mixed numbers with different denominators. Print one set of puzzles for each student or pair. You can print it on card stock or on different colored paper for future use and organization. Cut along each diagonal keeping the expression on one part and the answer/QR code on the other part. Students will add or subtract fractions with different denominators and match their answer. They can scan the QR code to determine if their answer is correct.

There are 7 questions in this riddle. Students will subtract mixed numbers/fractions with different denominators. Students will not have to rename/borrow/unbundle from the whole in this activity. Provide pages 1-2 for each student. Print 1 set of pages 3-4 (cutting each task card out) and display the questions around the room. Students can begin at any question. The answer to their question, will determine what letter to put down on their student workspace. Eventually they will spell ou

Students will subtract mixed numbers with different denominators. Students can use the provided templates to subtract horizontally or solve vertically on scrap paper.

Concept Development (guided practice), Problem Set (independent practice), and Homework included. 4 pages included.

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.
