Math is Marvelous

This product is a template for students to create mini-posters or complete fraction addition with unlike denominators by multiplying both fractions by a form of 1 created from the other fraction's denominator. In other words, the addition is done by "multiplying the denominators". This is the strategy I am teaching/reteaching my students before teaching finding and using the least common denominator. The product includes a page with 4 graphic organizers for the students to use to add unlike

I created this PowerPoint to get my students thinking about interpreting words or phrases into numerical expressions. There are 10 problems that present a word problem. The students are not asked to solve the problem, but to write a numerical expression (no variables) to represent how one could solve the problem. Then, the students are asked what words or phrases gave them clues on which operation should be used. The PowerPoint could be uploaded as google slides and used virtually with the

This product is a template for students to use to make a mini-poster of all of the factor pairs of a number using the rainbow-style method. You could give every student in your class a different number to factor. The students may color the rainbow, and, then, post them on the wall or bulletin board. I created this to have the factors visible to help some students with factoring problems. Related terms: graphic organizer

A common way to answer any type of problem is for the students to state their claim (the answer), their reasoning (how they solved the problem), and their evidence (why they solved it the way they did). This packet of 20 math word problems includes prompts to: 1) underline the question(s) 2) circle important information 3) show their work (EVIDENCE) 4) indicate words or phrases that justify why they solved the problem they did (REASONING) 5) state the answer(s) (CLAIM) The template used is a

This printable product is a graphic organizer to help students when multiplying fractions by whole numbers. It may be used as a small poster or handout. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.

A common way to answer any type of problem is for the students to state their claim (the answer), their reasoning (how they solved the problem), and their evidence (why they solved it the way they did). This set of 4 math problems, presented as 'do now' (warm up, bell ringer) problems, require that the student: 1) underline the question(s) 2) circle important information 3) show their work (EVIDENCE) 4) indicate words or phrases that justify why they solved the problem they did (REASONING) 5)
