Students who can make real-life connections to math will be more successful than those just learning a procedure. Multiplying decimals can be tricky so I created an activity for my students which allows them to create estimates and then multiply the actual dollar amount so they can have better understanding of where the decimal belongs in the product to their multiplication problem. This fun activity has students: Make Estimates.Determine if they over or underestimatedMultiply whole numbers b

This resource was created so that I could have a better understanding of what information my students learned this year and what areas are still going to need to be addressed as they head into third grade.

At the end of second grade, it's important to know which of your students understand place value, have number sense, flexibility in their thinking, can add and subtract multi-digit numbers, and who can make s

I created these puzzles to use with my students and they loved them! It was so fun to watch them match up the pieces of the puzzle to their answers to see if they got them correct. When they realized that something didn't match or line up, they went back to their problem to check their math! I work with RTI students so this was a huge way for them to be independent and to gain confidence with addition and subtraction. This bundle features: Two digit addition and subtraction (with and without reg

As a math teacher, I know that it is critical for students to have tools at home to help them to be successful learners!

Some of my students were getting confused when multiplying with decimals. I created this resource to support my lesson which encouraged students to view the problem first as whole numbers and then inputting the decimals. This has helped with their understanding since many thought they needed to treat the multiplication like adding or subtracting decimals by needing to line up the decimals. I included a reference sheet along with some practice problems. I hope you will find this resource ben
