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 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

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

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

This five day investigation of Comparing Fractions is tightly aligned to 4.NF.2 and MP.7. The set is organized so that on Days 1 & 2 of your lessons students examine carefully crafted sets of fractions to discover important rules based on benchmarks and understandings of numerators and denominators asked for in grade four. There is a color set of rules generated that can be used as a resource sheet once students discover the rules themselves, and there are two additional application sheets for

This series of three activities with recording sheets, helps students to connect numerals, math drawings, five frames, dice and number punches. For the first two sheets, the teacher calls out a number and students either draw or build to match. They then write the numeral. Once students become fluent with numerals, five frames and drawings, they can move on to the connections sheet where they will extend this to dice and number punches (using a hole puncher). Hole punching is a great way to

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

This series of three activities with recording sheets, helps students to connect numerals, math drawings, ten frames, dice and number punches. It is "Part Two" of my Connecting Representations for the Numerals 0-6 set. For the first two sheets, the teacher calls out a number and students either draw or build to match. They then write the numeral. Once students become fluent with numerals, ten frames and drawings, they can move on to the connections sheet where they will extend this to dice and
