Fraction Approximation! Visualizing fractions on a number line.

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

Adding and subtracting integer Computation with a t-chart

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

Tracking when concepts are taught and/or mastered is a crucial part of every teacher’s daily routine. Taking time to record not only what we teach but also whether a student has mastered the skill and is prepared to move on to the next is critical for making sure that your classroom lessons and activities run smoothly.

Fraction Wars is played by first dealing out the whole deck of cards evenly among the players. Everyone flips over a card at the same time and compare their fractions. The person with the highest valued fraction wins all the cards in that round. Should 2 people have the same highest fraction value, then they would set 3 cards face down and then flip the fourth and the one with the highest value would take all the cards. This is repeated until one person has all the cards from the deck and is dec
