This is a great power point that I use with my whole class. There are plenty of examples to practice rounding decimals and word problems too. There is room on the slides to create and write the steps with your students. The sum it up is a group activity which requires students to use menus to place mock orders for take out. They can estimate the amount they spend and then calculate the actual. I get the take out menus from local restaurants. They love this activity!! Common Core Aligned:

This power point explores the concept of how we add fractions with unlike denominators. The power point asks students to compare blood types with different denominators. Students love talking about the different blood types-nice connection to science class.

This power point has three Number Properties Quizzes I use in my class to see if my students can identify the following properties: Commutative, Associative, Distributive, Identity, zero and Inverse. You can print them and hand them out for students to keep in their notes or be used as a quick quiz. I love to quickly flash them up on my board and quickly quiz them aloud.

Teaching style

I love teaching! I use a variety of teaching styles in my classroom including direct instruction, guided instruction, exploration lessons, partnering, cooperative group work, neighbor checks, pair shares, carousel activities, stations, centers, and project based learning. When I create power points or flip charts I intend on writing on them and completing problems and notes together with my class. All of my products are used in my classroom before I post them on TpT.
