Helpful place value chart for students learning about decimals. Chart includes words, base-10 numerals, fractions for decimals, and coin/bill that matches. The back includes 2 blank number lines so that if you print the tool back-to-back, they line up. Cut and laminate or place in a clear pocket for students to use repeatedly! The front area is large enough to both learn to write decimals in their correct places as well as add and subtract in an organized fashion. Blank number lines allow studen

Use models as a strategy to help students multiply whole numbers by a fraction. This worksheet shows students how drawings can help them represent the process! The worksheet is organized in a few different ways: *At the top, you'll find a finished example. *The first row has circles drawn by the amount in the denominator to keep things organized. The second row has the circles scattered. The goal here is for students to recognize that this can be done different ways, but it's much easier to find

Help your students remember different division strategies and methods (with 1-digit divisors) with this bookmark/handout! Included are: base-10 groups, estimation using compatible numbers, area models, partial quotients, and standard algorithm. Thinking flexibly about numbers and realizing that the standard algorithm is NOT always the most efficient method is such an important concept for younger students. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming for students to remember all of the different options to

Help your students remember different multi-digit multiplication strategies and methods with this bookmark/handout! Included are: base-10 arrays, distributive property, area models, compensation, partial products, and standard algorithm. Thinking flexibly about numbers and realizing that the standard algorithm is NOT always the most efficient method is such an important concept for younger students. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming for students to remember all of the different options to see wh

Support your students' multiplication and division with this area model template which also includes double-digit factors and single-digit divisor examples in both semi-concrete (representational) and abstract form. While working with students on using area models, I quickly realized that sometimes just creating their own was a huge barrier, especially forstudents with executive function needs. This printable can be laminated or put into a clear sleeve for students in order to remove that barrie

Help your students remember different addition and subtraction mental math strategies with this bookmark/handout! Thinking flexibly about numbers and realizing that the standard algorithm is NOT always the most efficient method is such an important concept for younger students. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming for students to remember all of the different options to see which works best for them in different circumstances. This color-coded bookmark aims to support them in their math work. Each
