I designed this rubric to assess my gifted math students as they chose from a project menu to create a game to practice geometry standards. Teachers can use this rubric to assess a math game designed by their student(s) surrounding any math topic.

After the students have discovered the pattern of Pascal's Triangle and have constructed their own, we look at patterns within the triangle. Student's will gain practice with prime factorization, multiples, sums, using exponents, raising numbers to a power, etc. They will each choose a pattern to research and teach to their classmates in the second piece of this unit. I love to watch as they begin to see the patterns unfold. It feels like we're doing magic, but it's math!

This March Madness Basketball Unit is designed for gifted language and math students in grades 3-6. Language arts students have a choice between three research projects while math students construct teams of five current collegiate players and use their statistics to find averages.

To celebrate the new year, present this unique challenge to your gifted math students. The directions are explained on the worksheet. Students will need to use math processes to arrive at the value of the new year number, beginning with their age number and moving through ten steps. Students will begin to see the magic of numbers, patterns, and the power that we have in arriving at the answers we need, sometimes through some trial and error, as they complete this New Years Math Challenge.

This craft-math-activity will allow students to show what they know about multiples of ten, powers of ten, expanded form with multiplication, and numbers from the millions to the thousandths using facts and numbers from their own lives. 5th grade NBT.1, NBT.2, and NBT.3A Teacher Procedure, Student Checklist, Poster Cards, and Number Chart included.

This presentation includes 5 multiple choice word problems, with more than one correct answer, for students to solve in a whole group activity or in small group remediation. Each slide that follows the word problem includes the answer. In some cases an explanation is also provided. The common core standard addressed is NF.3. Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the f

Tarsia puzzles are made up of equilateral triangle pieces. The pieces are placed together to form a larger shape, often a hexagon or a larger triangle. In this activity, students create their own Tarsia puzzle to review math concepts they have been learning throughout the school year.
