These two lessons with fractions of time/clocks have been taught multiple times to 5th grade yielding positive results from both students and teachers. Students show quick understanding from the hands on activity. Included are two lessons: In the first lesson, students divide and cut apart colored clocks of halves, thirds, and fourths to find fractional parts of an hour. This lesson also has students find fifths, sixths, and tenths of an hour. The second part of this lesson is extended to fi

With the common core standards there exists a need to have a hundreds chart with numbers that go past 100 so that students gain fluency with counting up to 1000 and beyond. Because of this need, these cards were created to extend the use of the hundreds pocket chart. When students have learned to count 1-100, higher numbers may be placed on the hundreds chart to recognize patterns and generate discussion. For example, you may decide to place numbers 51-150 on the chart so students can practic

Are you extremely busy? Well, this Telling Clock Time Unit is for you! This unit comes complete with thorough lesson plans and activities for telling time to the hour, five-minute, and one-minute intervals. There are even lessons for elapsed time. Many of the lessons and games have differentiated activities with 2 or 3 levels for your students. A few science and social studies connections are included as well. Coming from years of teaching time, these lessons, games, and activities have

‬This booklet is designed to align with first grade common core standards in which students add or subtract ten and multiples of ten within 100. The 100's chart pages are made to guide students into discovering patterns when adding/subtracting 10 and multiples of 10 after whole group discussions about these patterns around the classroom hundreds chart. The mental math pages are designed to promote fluency after students have had experience finding patterns. This product has been used successf

• This number line will serve as a classroom reference tool and visual aid, providing students with a foundation of the counting progression. • The number line has been created with base ten block representations to help students see the size of each number. This will aid in discussions about rounding, and comparing, and ordering numbers. • Gray half marks are placed between each number to help familiarize students with the beginning idea of fractions. • This classroom wall number line s

This variety of number charts has been created for the purpose of helping students become strong with their sense of number. Students struggle with many mathematical concepts because they cannot simply count forwards and/or backwards beginning from any number. After second grade there is little attention given to counting past 1,000. Just because students can count to 1,000 doesn’t mean that they understand the patterns that occur in all numbers. These charts are a guide to help students und

This activity is designed to review previously learned geometry vocabulary such as horizontal, vertical, regular and irregular polygons, x axis, y axis, ordered pairs, symmetry, and origin. Students follow directions using directions with this vocabulary to plot points which eventually builds a regular irregular polygons. Students then draw intersecting lines of symmetry and find an acute angle to locate the treasure. To extend this task to a higher level of Blooms thinking, students are encoura

This variety of number charts has been created for the purpose of helping students become strong with their sense of number. Students struggle with many mathematical concepts because they cannot simply count forwards and/or backwards beginning from any number. Most of these charts begin ten numbers before a multiple of 100 and end ten numbers after multiples after 100. This is in order that students are able to practice identifying what numbers come before and after multiples of 100, as this

Bubble Gum Pop Math Center Games are games that students can play to add or subtract 1's, 10's, or 20's on a hundreds chart. The bubble gum spinner tells students how to move their game pawns on the hundreds chart board. There is also a wild space for added fun. The math station games provide much differentiation as there are spinners that allow for the focus to be on +1,-1, +10, -10 OR +1, -1, +10, -10, +20, -20. Also the games boards are differentiated so that some students may be working

You have never used flashcards like these before! Buy these for a new and better flashcard experience! These flashcards are organized by helping strategy so that you can easily print them on different colored card stock to separate them by colored strategy. They even have printable backs! No more writing the answers on the back, just pre-print the answers! The flashcards include all sums up to 19 grouped by the strategy shown below. The commutative property (turn around facts) are include

Because of students’ struggles to build decimal number lines, order decimals, and round decimals, I made these number charts. Students learn to count to 100 in kindergarten with number charts because they make patterns evident…why not count with number charts to see patterns in decimals? If students see the patterns within decimal number charts, they are better able to draw conclusions through their own reasoning about ordering and rounding decimals. Included in this packet are the followin

This bundle includes a classroom wall number line with base ten blocks pictured. It also includes add-on word cards and add-on expanded form cards. • This number line will serve as a classroom reference tool and visual aid, providing students with a foundation of the counting progression. • The number line has been created with base ten block representations to help students see the size of each number. This will aid in discussions about rounding, comparing, and ordering numbers. • Gra

U.S and U.K. version included. This Smart Board lesson has one slide each for the number bonds(sums) of five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. Matching student printables are attached to match the slides for each number bond. The Smart Board lesson has two colors of virtual snap cubes to model making the number bonds. Students use actual snap cubes with their printable pages to build number bonds. Each printable page has rectangles for students to color to match the number bonds they build

This number line will serve as a classroom reference tool, providing students with a foundation of the counting progression of decimals. Because decimal notation is difficult for students to understand in both word and number form, this decimal number line has been created with base ten block representations to help students see the size of each decimal number. The zeros on the end of the decimals are barely visible to support students’ understanding that the zeros have no value on the end of

This Smart Board lesson includes three different place value charts with manipulative number discs like Singapore Math: ones and tens; ones, tens, and hundreds; and ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands. These are for use with the attached practice pages which increase in difficulty. There is also a PDF version of this Smart Board file included. However in the PDF version of the file, the discs are not moveable. The practice pages packet includes: a place value chart for use with number discs.

These card sorts were designed for students to use after experiences solving addition and subtraction equations with snap or unifix cubes. For the card sorts to be most effective, allow students to work in pairs to solve them. This creates discussion which will provide an environment for evaluation (one of Bloom's higher levels of thinking). In each card sort, there is an extra card which is meant to create more discussion among student pairs. The extra card may look like the match to anothe

This again newly revised activity is designed to review previously learned geometry vocabulary such as horizontal, vertical, regular and irregular polygons, x axis, y axis, ordered pairs, symmetry, and origin. Students follow directions using vocabulary to plot points which eventually builds a regular hexagon. Students then draw intersecting lines of symmetry to locate the treasure. To extend this task to a higher level of Blooms thinking, students are encouraged to build their own treasure m

This product will help guide your students into becoming fluent in their addition math facts. The lessons in this packet have been used successfully in intervention groups with struggling third graders to help them attain fluency with their math facts. This product can also be used whole group. Instead of relying on memorization, these lessons focus on students finding patterns within the math facts to help them become fluent. Included are card sorts to match helping facts to more difficu
