This resource includes a partner match up activity that covers multiplying fractions by a whole number (4.NF.B.4). Converting improper fractions to mixed numbers is also addressed on most of the pairs. (Some match-ups do not require conversions, allowing for differentiation). This activity may be used to make partners, individually, or as a center activity. I like to use this activity to create pairs before starting the scavenger hunt. If using as a partner match up, cut out the number of pairs

Combine art and math? Yes! This prime and composite numbers clover math craftivity project is perfect for a St. Patrick's day math craft. Your students get to show off their understanding of what makes a number prime or composite, and your classroom gets some fun spring décor.  Six different versions are included so not every student has to have the same problems. This also gives you the option to assign more than one clover to some of your faster workers. Once completed, the clovers can be indi

This partner color match up activity is a great way for your students to practice adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators and simplifying their answers. Not only do the Valentine's Day / Anti-Valentine themes add a level of holiday fun, but the built in partner checks require student's to take some ownership over their learning, rather than coming to you for the answers. If partners have done all of their calculations correctly, their answers will match. However, if someone has

Make practicing comparing fractions fun! This self-checking activity will allow students to get out of their seats and move around as they solve 12 problems. Each problem solved will lead students to a new problem until they have completed the hunt. While all 12 questions are based on comparing fractions, they vary among finding the least, the greatest, and putting them in order. A recording sheet and answer key are provided. Please not that this activity is NOT editable. The text, problems, a

This self-checking, color by code multiplication activity gives your students a fun and creative way to practice their multiplication skills. Students will solve twelve problems by multiplying a 2, 3, or 4 digit number by a single digit and multiplying a 2 digit number by a 2 digit number. After finding all twelve products, students will compare their answers from the left column (letters) to the answers from the right column (colors). Each answer should have an equivalent answer in the other se

Celebrate the spring season and make practicing measures of center fun with this 3-D carrot craftivity. Students will practice finding the mean, median, and mode of different data sets. Six different versions give you the option to assign one or multiple carrots per student. After determining the measures of center, students will cut, color, and assemble their 3-D carrots for display around the classroom.  Should I really use coloring and craftivities in my upper elementary/middle school math cl

Celebrate the spring season and make practicing customary unit conversions fun with this 3-D carrot craftivity. Six different versions give you the option to assign one or multiple carrots per student. After completing their conversions, students will cut, color, and assemble their 3-D carrots for display around the classroom.  Should I really use coloring and craftivities in my upper elementary/middle school math class? Yes! Here’s why… 1. Coloring activities provide the teacher with a way to

This resource allows students to get up and moving while practicing the fourth grade number and base ten standards. A partner match up and scavenger hunt are both included for use together or separate.  The partner pairing cards cover fourth grade math standards 4.NBT.1, 4.NBT.2, and 4.NBT.3. If using as a partner match up, cut out the number of pairs you need and give each student one card. They will then need to go find their match (either the answer to their problem, or the problem that produ

This self-checking, color by code fraction operations activity gives your students a fun and creative way to practice their fraction skills. Students will solve twelve problems that include addition, subtraction, and multiplication of proper fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators. After solving all of the problems, students will compare their answers from the top six (numbers) to the bottom six (colors). Each answer should have an equivalent answer in the other section. Finding the c

You've made it through 100 days and it's time to celebrate! As a math teacher I can't think of a better way to celebrate the 100th day than with a 100th day math focused scoot. You will cut out and display the 20 different problems around your room. Students will then set out to answer as many as they can in the given amount of time. I usually have students do this individually or in pairs. As a fun touch, I usually have a "mystery number" when I do scoots. Any student who correctly answer the

This resource allows students to get up and moving while practicing the fourth grade number and base ten standards for multiplication. A partner match up and scavenger hunt are both included for use together or separate.  The partner pairing cards allow students to work on place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers. If using as a partner match up, cut out the number of pairs you need and give each student one card. They will then need to go find their match (either the answer to the

This self-checking, color by code division activity gives your students a fun and creative way to practice solving division problems with whole number quotients and remainders. Students will first solve twelve division problems with up to four digit dividends and one digit divisors. After finding all twelve quotients, students will compare their quotients from the left column (letters) to the quotients from the right column (colors). Each quotient should have a matching quotient in the other sec

Are you looking to create partners with no complaints while practicing math skills? These groundhog themed equivalent fraction match up cards are the perfect way for students to practice identifying equivalent fractions while paying homage to one of February's most loved critters. Simply hand out the cards you want to use and students will locate their equivalent fraction match. 18 pairs are included along with one trio set for classes with an odd number of students.
