This is a tiered activity involving rounding whole numbers to the nearest million. Task cards 1-8 are more challenging with students solving word problems, choosing more than one answer, or using a number line. Task cards 9-16 are easier, with students rounding to the specified place value. Student Activity Logs are included as well as Teacher Answer Keys.

This is a tiered activity involving rounding decimal numbers. Task cards 1-8 are the most challenging; some problems require students choosing multiple answers and using reasoning skills. Task cards 9-16 are for your middle group; most are word problems in which students must identify the place value in which to round. Task cards 17-24 are the easiest, with the place value in which to round being identified for the student. Student Activity Log and Teacher Answer Key are included.

Students can work independently or with a partner to match 12 pictorial representations of decimals with the card that has the decimal number. In addition, students will write the fraction that the decimal represents on the card. Fractions go to the tenths and hundredths place value.

Trying to find practice for the increased rigor of math? This activity has you covered! For this activity, problems 1-3 provide a visual representation of fractions on a number line. Not only do students have to identify the fraction on the number line, but they also must choose the correct answer that correlates with the picture and is equal to the decimal. Problems 4-6 provide a visual representation of a fraction circle and students must find the decimal that correlates with that fraction

This is a tiered activity, which involves adding and subtracting decimals with different place values. Cards 1-4 are word problems, which are more difficult and some are multi-step. Each set of decimals has different place values so students can practice lining them up. Cards 5-8 are numerical problems but have different place values and must be lined up. Students may work in groups to solve the problem. They can be cut up into task cards. There is an Activity Log that can be turned in for a

Students are given several word problems, some of which are multi-step. Problems involve division and multiplication, as well as estimation of sums and differences. Includes 16 task cards, one activity log, and answer key. When I did this with my students, I used it as a Gallery Walk. I split my students into 4 groups. I taped the problems up around the classroom, and students worked together in groups, going from one card to the next to solve the problems. One group leader was chosen from e
