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.

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

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!

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 practice identifying equivalent fractions as the same location on a number line with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8. Students can extend learning by creating their own puzzle or creating matches for the items around the border once they finish the puzzle. Aligns to Grade 3 standard 3.NF.3a-2.

Students practice identifying bar models that represent the same size fraction with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8. Copy 1 puzzle per group and keep a copy for yourself as the answer key. Blank is included for students to make their own puzzle. Aligns to Grade 3 standard 3.NF.3a.

In this lesson, students derive the meaning behind common denominators using the concept of a whole being divided into equal sized parts. Students take halves, thirds, fourths, and fifths and further split each piece into equal parts, and then rename the fraction with a new denominator. Summary slide will help students see where common denominators are and conclude that a shortcut is to list the multiples of each number and see the lowest one that is in common.

Students practice identifying fractions with denominators of 2, 4, 6, and 8 in diagrams and on number lines with this puzzle.
