Each year, I read the story "Johnny Tremain" by Esther Forbes with my fifth grade students. For students who require modifications or who may be struggling with comprehension, I have made summarized versions of each chapter of the book that includes simplified text and corresponding images. The file can be printed out for students to use in a book/paper format, or viewed on a computer or iPad.
The first few slides are guided notes to teach students how to use a protractor to measure/draw angles and a review of right, acute, and obtuse angles.
Then, there are activity boards for the game "The Angler." The boards are usually put in sheet protectors (there are three different boards depending on individual students' needs) and each student receives a game board, an "Angler" sheet, and a set of letter cards. The students flip over the lettered cards on the game board's corresponding spac
A Jeopardy PowerPoint that reviews Least Common Multiples (LCM), Greatest Common Factors (GCF), Prime and Composite Numbers, Exponents, and Prime Factorization.
Here are all of the papers we use for our State Projects. Included is the list of guidelines for the assignment, a checklist for students, a diagram of what the project board should look like, a half-sheet for the students to take home (so they remember what state they're doing), and templates to decorate the project. A rubric to grade the final projects are also included.
Here is a file that includes guided notes for students to learn how to round numbers into the millions (there are also two versions of leveled/modified notes), a game board, activity sheets (several leveled versions for students to use depending on their level in math or individual goals), "Rounds" game cards, and movement cards (dice can also be used).
This file includes the following:
- Guided math notes for adding and subtracting large numbers to the millions. Two different modified versions of notes are included: One is for students working on calculator skills and another for students working on adding/subtracting numbers through 20 using manipulatives.
- "RIches" Activity sheets for students to complete their work on. Each student gets a paper and adds or subtracts problems depending on what the cards say. Three different modified versi
This file includes the following:
- Guided math notes for multiplying numbers by two digits. Includes two versions of modified notes: One for students working on multiplying by one digit and another for students working on multiplying basic facts using a calculator or multiplication chart.
- "Two Digits To You, Too!" Activity sheets for students to work out and record their answers. Includes regular sized graph paper, enlarged graph paper, and four other version of modified activity sheets dep
These are the steps for the writing process that we use in grades 2-8. The pages to create the Hanging Display shown in the picture is a great way for students and teachers to monitor their progress on writing assignments. Each student has a clothespin with their name on it that they move along as they complete each step. There is also a corresponding checklist for students to keep in their desks.
*I also have leveled sheets for each of the steps (Brainstorm and Outline templates as well as Se
This math lesson includes notes and game pieces for students who are working on multiplying by 2-digit numbers. Both the notes and the game (which includes a game board and corresponding sheet) are leveled for a variety of students who may still be working on skills like 1-digit multiplication or counting/identifying numbers through 10.
The only materials that are not provided are decks of cards for students to use that only have aces through nine.
File includes the following items:
- Guided math notes that review the concepts Mean, Median, and Mode. One accommodated version of notes with color coding also included.
- "You're So Mean" Activity sheets asking students to find the mean of the number of siblings and pockets, etc. Two different version depending on the size of the center. One sheet is for 5 students another is for 10. One modified version asking students to add up the numbers rather than find the mean is included.
- "Fair Me
File includes the following items:
- Notes going through the steps of long division. Includes 2 versions of modified notes: One for students that are working on dividing two-digit numbers by one digit, and another for students working on using manipulatives and/or calculators to solve simple division problems.
- "Inheritance" Activity sheets and graph paper for students to use to solve the problems on the card and then record their answers.
- "Inheritance" Activity cards which gives students

Materials:
- One double-sided game board per student. (There are three different game boards in this file depending on skill level of student. The first two slides are for the class, the third and fourth are for students who struggle with concept and require modifications, and the fifth and sixth slide are for students working on one to one correspondence a

After giving my students some models of polyhedrons to look at and explore, I pass out these notes to them to complete. The first two slides are note pages that everyone completes together and the third slide is a half sheet with small pictures of polyhedrons the students need to cut out and glue on their notes. There is also a set of modified notes for students who are working on identifying basic shapes.
Note pages for students to learn about opposite integers, absolute value, and how to add and subtract integers. Notes also come with integer cards that can be used to either play "Integer War" (two students flip over cards and whoever has the larger integer wins; if they get opposites, they have a war) or "Adding and Subtracting" (two students flip over cards then first add their cards together and then subtract using the included game sheet; game can be combined with Integer War).
