Students can use this checklist until they have the order of operations process memorized. Checklist only takes up half of a page so each page has 2 checklists on it.

Elementary students can practice converting units within a single system of measurement and express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. (including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec.) on these 10 Thanksgiving-themed word problems in a scavenger hunt. Make copies of the recording sheet and hang the other pages out of order around the room. Aligned with standard 4.MD.A.1.

Students can practice the skill of creating arrays to multiply within 100 on standard 3.OA.A.3 using these 10 halloween themed word problems in a scavenger hunt. If they get all the answers correct, the recording sheet will spell out "Spooky Math".

Elementary students can practice solving multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted, by completing this Thanksgiving themed scavenger hunt with 10 problems. If they solve all correctly, their recording sheet will spell "Turkey Math". Aligned with standard 4.OA.A.3.

Students can practice decomposing fractions with these word problem coloring pages. With space for showing two different ways to decompose the given fraction, these problems can be given in centers for a halloween themed math lesson. Correlated to standard 4.NF.B.3B.

Elementary students can practice finding area of rectangles with these 10 halloween themed word problems. When students correctly find all answers, their recording sheet will spell out "Spooky Math." Standard 3.MD.C.7b.

Elementary students can practice adding and subtracting numbers within 1,000 in these 10 halloween themed word problems. Mix up the pages and display around the room for students to find their next answer and complete the next problem. If they do them correctly, their recording sheet will spell out "Spooky Math."

10 multi-step Halloween-themed word problems to get elementary students moving around the room as they work out each 2-step word problem. If they solve them correctly, the answer sheet will spell out "spooky math". Aligned to standard 4.OA.A.3

These halloween themed fraction comparison word problems allow students to color after they draw a visual fraction model and compare two given fractions. Use this for stations or centers for a halloween math lesson. Standard 3.NF.A.3.d.

This fraction strip tool helps students understand many different fraction concepts: -why the value of a unit fraction is less as the denominator increases -equivalent fractions -comparing fractions -the sum of unit fractions Teacher can guide the students to complete the decimal number line along the bottom to find equivalent decimals as well. Students can use a ruler or any straight edge to line up vertically fractions and decimals that are equivalent and then use that to compare fractions and

Students practice identifying fractions that represent whole numbers in this 20-piece puzzle. Fractions have denominators 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 and all whole numbers are 1 through 5. Misconceptions are built in around the border for teacher formative assessment. Students who complete the puzzle first can extend their thinking by creating their own puzzle on the blank sheet or creating clues for the numbers around the border. Aligns to Standard 3.NF.A.3c and Evidence Statement 3.NF.3c.

Two pages: first is blank fraction strips from 1 whole to tenths with a matching blank number line. The second page has the fraction amounts written in each strip. Matching blank number line is below. Students can use this tool to understand how the size of the piece gets smaller as the denominator increases. Students can see equivalent decimals or fractions by placing them on the number line below. This tool can be used to help identify equivalent fractions, compare fractions, or reason about t

Students practice identifying the ordered pair from seeing a point that is graphed. Intervals are 0.5 and 0.25 on all graphs and points are graphed in all 4 quadrants. Recording sheet asks students to write the ordered pair as decimals as well as fractions. Get your students up and moving while they are doing math!

Use this resource when you begin to teach division with decimal divisors. Complete the 4 examples with students to introduce them to dividing with decimal divisors and students can continue to use the think chart until they have mastered dividing with decimals. I have been using this tool for over 10 years and have found it to scaffold student thinking tremendously.

Before or after you teach GCF and LCM, this is a great resource for students to use as a reference sheet for studying or while they are completing practice problems.

2 Pages: the first page is blank with strips from 1 whole to sixths with a blank aligned number line for you to place either decimals or fractions below. The second page has the fractions written on the strips with aligned number line to put either decimals or fractions below. Students can use fraction strips to form ideas about the size of the piece as the denominator gets smaller and further make connections from fraction strips to fractions on number lines. I hope you find this product useful

24 different addition problems adding a fraction with a denominator of 10 to a fraction with a denominator of 100. Corresponds to level of rigor on standard 4.NF.C.5. Some hearts are upside down to save paper, assuming that students will color them in and cut them out to decorate the classroom. Answer key included. Enjoy!

Students can use this checklist to avoid making mistakes when multiplying mixed numbers. I created this checklist to scaffold student practice when I teach multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers. This PDF can be copied and cut in half before distributing to students. Complete the two examples with students and then students can use this checklist and 2 examples until they become fluent in the algorithm for multiplying fractions by converting to improper, cross reducing, and then multiplyi

These posters were the MOST USEFUL resources in all my years of teaching 6th grade math. Multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The basis of almost every topic in middle school math. Be sure to start school with them! The giant numbers add dimension to the classroom and scaffold students who don't have their multiplication facts memorized. Hang them on the side of the room so you can see students who need them when the students turn their head to look. (If you keep them in the front of the roo

Students can use this inequality reference sheet when writing inequalities from word problems, graphing inequalities, and identifying solutions to inequalities. Teachers can use it as guided notes or a handout for students to use as they work on problems.
