Fraction Approximation is an dual activity. First students sort the fractions based on whether they are closer to 0, 1/2, or 1 whole. Then after students have brainstormed their ideas, as a class they start putting their fractions on a number line. Halves, Thirds, Fourths, Fifths, Sixths, Eights, Tenths and Twelfths have been provided Promote math talk by asking questions about how they know the placement and how they can defend their answer. If numbers are really close and students are stru

The t-chart strategy: Often times students struggle with adding and subtracting integers because they get too caught up in the signs and the rules. It’s also difficult for students to think of which absolute value is larger they are often struggling to make the connection of why absolute value is even needed in an integer computation problem...Thus, the t-chart strategy was born! In this bundle you will receive: 3 pages explaining the strategy A poster in color and B & W 4 full page example

Pi day is March 14th! These are the perfect addition to your instruction! Pi is a name given to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter. Basically, you can take any circle and divide the circumference (think distance around the circle) by the diameter. Pi is an irrational number meaning that it never ends and the decimal pattern doesn't repeat. The coolest part about pi is that there is no known pattern to the decimal digits. Want your students to explore the decimal digits
