I created this document for the K-4 teachers in my district because the Common Core is not only new but written at a level that doesn't translate well for elementary teachers. This is a list of the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice written for K-4 teachers! It also contains a list of guiding questions for each of these standards adapted from various math series'. This list can be kept with your math lesson plan book so you know all the practice standards are being taken care of!

This is a PowerPoint created for my district that overviews the Common Core state standards and the PARCC assessment. This can be used to introduce or review both of these concepts with a group of staff, parents, school board, etc. at professional development. This PowerPoint also compares current EOC/ISTEP (Indiana assessment) questions to PARCC questions so staff can see the shift that must be made. This PowerPoint has been shown many times and it seems to really inform everyone that sees i

This is a hands-on math activity to help students practice mean, median, and mode. Students will complete in three events and measure their results as a group to find the mean, median and mode. They will graph the data and look for outliers. Great activity to get kids up and moving as they have fun learning math!!

This is a math activity requiring students to use M&M's to create population graphs and charts. They have to interpret the data they find to draw conclusions about the "study". My kids LOVED this activity because it was hands-on and they got a tasty treat at the end after their work was checked!

This project lets children review geometric vocab and shapes such as types of angles, all shapes, types of triangles, parallel lines, etc. as they build a house for a little piggy who lost his! Students create a 2D or 3D model of a home with certain requirements on what needs to be in the design. The finished products that students brought in were amazing!!
