Students in grade three must be able to determine the appropriate operation needed to represent and solve story problems. Math Practice #2 also asks them to write story problems to match different expressions and problem types as they contextualize the mathematics. This card sort is something you might typically do with paper, scissors and glue. Google Draw allows students to use clicking and dragging and typing into cells to complete this activity in a more efficient way. It also allows fo

Students in grade five must be able to determine the appropriate operation needed to represent and solve story problems involving fractions. Math Practice #2 also asks them to write story problems as they contextualize the mathematics. This card sort is something you might typically do with paper, scissors and glue. Google Draw allows students to use clicking and dragging and typing into cells to complete this activity in a more efficient way. It also allows for easier differentiation of t

Major Work of the Grade Key Vocabulary Defined Useful Web Links Parents will appreciate this resource as they navigate the Common Core Standards. Major work of the grade according to CCSS is listed in parent friendly language, key vocabulary words from the standards are defined, and tightly aligned web links are provided. Students will enjoy using these in and out of class.

This Choice Board is aligned to 4.NF.1 and 4.NF.2 and MP.3. The fractions are carefully chosen to reflect the standards in grade four. This is a great activity for differentiating instruction since all rows of the Choice Board are leveled! The perfect activity to review these two standards and identify areas of need for individual students. It includes a choice board and recording sheet.

This package contains a set of Double Ten Frame virtual manipulatives for use to support place value in Teen Numbers in Kindergarten and the "Making Ten" strategy for addition in Grade One. They are aligned to CCSS expectations for Kindergarten and Grade One and are a semi-concrete representation that students can easily use within Google Classroom. This connects strongly with MP 4 - Model with Mathematics. Also included are recording sheets for 3 days worth of lessons/activities with the int

This practice set is aligned with Illustrative Mathematics (IM) Grade 3 Unit 3 Section B. There are 10 different sheets for subtraction practice. Each of them include the 3 strategies introduced in this unit as options for solution pathways. These make great homework or morning work sheets towards the end of and following Unit 3 Section B.

This practice set is aligned with Illustrative Mathematics (IM) Grade 3 Unit 3 Section A. There are 10 different sheets for addition practice. Each of them include the 5 strategies introduced in this unit as options for solution pathways. These make great homework or morning work sheets towards the end of and following Unit 3 Section A.

This problem set is based on the problem types outlined for grade three in the Common Core Standards. They involve Equal Groups and Arrays/Area with varied unknowns (Unknown Product and Group Size Unknown). The workspace provided for students also emphasizes the importance of using a variety of representations. They include a mix of: “groups of” pictures, arrays, t-tables, equations and solution sentences relating back to the story. The ten problems can either be used with all students, in t

Students in Grade Three will begin to explore the role of the distributive property when finding area. They don’t necessarily need to use the term, however, due to the need for precise vocabulary in Math Practice #6, it makes sense to use it a bit. This lesson will focus on the use of the “array within an array” model to make this clear to students. Before students work with partners or individually on the practice sheets in this set, it makes sense to begin with square tiles on their desk

Students in grade 5 should develop both an understanding of fraction multiplication as well as procedural fluency. This game combines fact practice with strategy, which makes practice lots of fun! It also encourages precise math language (such as factors and product), which aligns with Math Practice #6.

This set of lessons/activities should be used during the first week of a multiplying fractions unit in grade 5. It focuses on both the content standards and math practice standards appropriate for this unit. Using the Area Model (Math Practice 4) Connections to Whole Number Operations and the Commutative Property (Math Practice 7) Story Problems (Math Practice 1 & 2) Addition and Subtraction of Fractions Practice (5.NF.1 & 2) Lesson #1 - Students will consider a series of story problems

These bookmarks are a wonderful resource for students to keep track of their ability to put each math practice into action. The practices are broken up into manageable student friendly bullets. The checklist nature of the bookmarks makes them great for student self-assessment!

This package contains a set of virtual manipulatives for Comparing Numbers in Grade One. They are aligned to CCSS expectations for grade one and are a semi-concrete representation that students can easily use within Google Classroom. Also included are recording sheets for 3 days worth of lessons/activities with the interactive Google Draw. These are perfect for schools that have gone 1:1 or classrooms who have access to Google Apps for Education (GAFE).

This set includes a series of story problems where students are presented with information in a table format. They must use this data to answer problems that require addition and subtraction of fractions in one and two steps. There is also a Looking at Student Work task embedded where students will use the “My Favorite No” protocol. They first look at the work and determine what the student did well, making it the teacher’s “favorite” no. They then determine where the student’s thinking went

Scoot is a great way to have students develop procedural fluency with a topic, and the resulting work provides invaluable formative assessment data that can inform future instruction! Not to mention, it is a lot of fun! The Scoot Game provided has 12 “grade level” cards and a recording sheet with 12 spaces to record student responses as well as 12 “modified” cards with a modified recording sheet to scaffold for struggling students. The focus of both sets is on repeated addition, “groups of”,

This set of activities includes large analogous problems that align with the CCSS and are derived from the chart on p.88 in the standards book. The story problem sheets all include a series of icons that match the large story problems so that students can first identify the analogous (similar) problem, as well as the operation, before solving. We know that this ability to recognize similar/analogous problems is such an important part of Math Practice #1, and the set-up of these sheets allows f

This set of four lessons includes recording sheets for both students on grade level and those who are advanced and need a bit of a push which includes greater numbers. The focus is on 2.NBT.1 & 3 and MP 4 since students are asked to model numbers in a variety of ways and move between those models. This approach ensures a deep understanding of both place and value of three-digit numbers.

This five day set of worksheets to guide your lessons is tightly aligned to 4.NF.1 and MP.3. The activities are carefully designed to focus on the denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100 which are asked for in the standards. The first few days begin with an exploration with equivalent fractions and connections between the work with manipulatives and finding a pattern (MP.7). Students also look at some student work to determine where mistakes might lie. On days three and four studen
