Do you need a new and exciting way to teach comparing fractions to your students? Well, the Fractions Clothesline is the way to go! It gets the students actively involved in comparing, ordering, and analyzing fractions. This activity can be used as early as 2nd grade!

Here is a way to differentiate in your class using one resource. Graduated Difficulty allows you to provide something for everyone that meets the needs of all learning levels without having to create multiply assignments and more work for you. Students can choose which level to complete or it can be teacher selected. The answer key allows for self check so that students can immediately see their progress. This is great for guided practice, independent practice, exit tickets, homework, etc. Share

Do you have some students that need enrichment with adding, subtracting, and estimating the sums and differences of decimals? Well, here is the game for you! This game is based on the popular game show; however, it uses decimals along with probability and critical thinking to win. Everything you need is included except a dry erase marker. This game is great for small groups, math centers/stations, or a whole group lesson. Laminate it and have it for years to come!

Meet the needs of all your students in one activity. Graduated Difficulty allows you to provide the same content but with different levels. Students can choose the level to complete, or it can be teacher assigned. The answer key gives the option for students to self-check and to have immediate feedback on their performance.

Want a great review game or center (station) activity on two digit by one digit multiplication? Well, here it is! Everything you need to get your students motivated, engaged, and thinking critically. This game is similar to a well-known game called Contig.

This game comes with everything you will need except a pencil and a paperclip. Enjoy!

A group of friends have dinner and can't decide who ate the most turkey. Students must use their knowledge of fractions to help them find the answer. This math challenge is in the format of an Exemplar, so students have multiple steps and it requires critical thinking. This is a great activity to give to students that need an extra challenge.

Need a hands-on fractions activity? Here is one that students will enjoy. They must help the teacher make the recipe even though some of the measuring tools are missing! There are three different levels based on the Graduated Difficulty strategy, so you can differentiate the activity.

Mrs. Voorhees bought a large cake for the Honor Roll recipients. How many students received a piece of cake in each class? That is the task for this Exemplar-style fractions challenge.
