Mighty Math

This product includes the steps from modeling decimal multiplication, as well as the decimal grids needed in order to model the problems. I have my students underline the steps in different colors and then use those same colors to complete the steps.

These visually appealing, easily understood notes are used in my interactive notebooks when I teach students to estimate products. These notes assume students know how to round whole numbers, so they do not cover the rounding rules.

I use these notes to introduce Dividing Whole Numbers by Unit Fractions. Instead of saying "Keep Change Flip" I teach my students that we multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction in the expression. We change the symbol because to use the reciprocal we have to use the inverse operation.

These notes lay out the disadvantages and advantages of the different forms of payments, as required in the TEKS. Once they are completed my students complete a fan fold, write the title on one blank side and glue down on blank tab in their interactive notebooks.

These notes cover the basics of Algebraic Expressions, I use these when I am beginning the unit. They are designed to be filled out, folded in half and glued into notebooks, but can be adapted to any way you want to use them.

I use these notes during my lesson on the solar system. My students fill them in during the lesson, and then glue them into their Science Journals.

I use these notes on the day that I introduce the concept of multiplying whole numbers and fractions with out models. We do the examples on the notes in the same colors that we use to color code the steps provided. Then we work more practice problems in the notes before moving on to guided practice.

This product explains the steps for dividing with a 2-digit divisor. I have my students underline the steps in a color and then complete the steps in the same colors.
