About the store
Hello and welcome to my page! I have been teaching 5th grade for eight years. I taught six years of 5th grade teaching all subjects in an elementary school, but now I teach 5th grade math in a middle school. I am super passionate about creating ways to make 5th grade content easier for students, while still keeping the standards high. That's why I started creating templates for my students to use and follow along with for each standard. I noticed that with the graphic organizers, all of my students were successful working independently, even my students that were at a 2nd grade level or below. I hope these templates are able to help you feel this same success!

Multiplication Using Area Model Graphic Organizers

This product includes two graphic organizers to aid in teaching multiplication of 2 digit and 3 digit numbers using area model. I put these in pocket charts and students use a dry erase marker to solve problems. Skills: 2 digit x 2 digit, 3 digit x 2 digit and 3 digit x 3 digit
Preview of Customary Conversion Charts

Customary Conversion Charts

These customary conversion charts are great for converting the following units of measure: length, weight, volume and time. My students love to use these every year. We place our finger on the chart and move either up or down. If we move up, we multiply and if we move down, we divide. It seems to be helpful for students to physically move their finger up/down on the chart.

Comparing Fractions with Unlike Denominators Workmat

After students are successful with finding equivalent fractions, we move to comparing fractions. This work mat is great to place in pocket charts for students to use when completing comparison problems with unlike denominators. It goes through each step in a clear and concise way. It really helps students organize their thinking and better understand the concept of each step. Eventually, we want students to be able to compare fractions without the organizer, but still following the 4 square meth

Finding Equivalent Fractions Using a Multiplier/Divisor Work Mats

I print this graphic organizer out front/back and have students place it in a pocket chart. We use this graphic organizer to get the hang of finding equivalent fractions and it's great because everything is labeled and everyone can follow along. Usually after practicing for a day or two, students are able to find equivalent fractions without using the graphic organizer, however, my lower students tend to rely on it longer.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators Workmat

Once students have mastered comparing fractions, we move seamlessly into adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. The first three steps are the same as comparing, but in the fourth step you add or subtract. Just like with comparing fractions, we eventually want students to be able to follow the steps without the graphic organizer.
Preview of Representing Decimals Workmat

Representing Decimals Workmat

I use these graphic organizers when first introducing decimals. I make a double sided copy for each student and we place them in pocket charts. Students can use these scaffolded organizers when they work on their independent work and they love them! I also project them on the board and students love coming up to fill in parts of the organizer.
