This Choice Board Activity provides you with a fun and engaging way to review concepts from these two ratio and proportion Common Core Standards. It comes with one "on grade level" Choice Board and Answer Key, one "modified" Choice Board with an Answer Key, and one Recording Sheet. Students can either work alone or in partners to complete one activity/problem from each row. The answer keys can be covered with small sticky notes to make this self-correcting. Students LOVE to have choices and

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 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 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

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 choice board activity provides you with a fun and engaging way to review concepts from addition and subtraction Common Core Standards. Students can either work alone or in partners to complete one activity/problem from each row. Other option are to assign “points” for each shamrock in order to entice students to challenge themselves. A teacher version is also included to show careful alignment to expectations for problem types and strategies in the CCSS for students in grade one. Stude

Homework should allow students to practice their skills at their own level, which means that several levels must be available in order to address the variety of needs in the classroom. This homework set includes four different versions of a 4-square homework assignment aligned to 5.NF.1 and touching on 5.NF.2. In all homework versions, special attention was paid to including mixed numbers, fractions greater than one, variables and expressions. The “5” version includes opportunities f

Students in grade one should work towards three strategies for addition: counting on, making ten, and using related facts. The models to support these understandings include number lines, double ten frames and coloring grids which align strongly with Math Practice #4 and #5. This series of six lessons introduces each strategy, includes modifications for struggling learners and “pushes” for higher level thinkers. It also concludes with student choice activities around the strategies.
