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

‬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 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

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

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

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 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.

Are you wondering how to teach the commutative property of multiplication using the new common core mathematical practices? Wonder no more. These lessons led our third graders into discovering the commutative property of multiplication through the mathematical practice "look for and make use of structure." There are 5 lesson plans with supporting work mats, printable manipulatives, and word problem work sheets. Four of the 5 lessons have two sets of word problem sheets with different numbers

*You have never used flashcards or multiplication tables like these before! Buy these for a new and better way to teach multiplication! *These flashcards and multiplication charts are organized by helping strategy so that you can teach your students how to learn a pattern instead of just learning all facts in order. *Because the teacher notes are explicit, you could potentially use a teacher note page to write your lesson plans. *There are detailed teacher notes that explain how to use the

This variety of number charts has been created for the purpose of helping students improve counting by unit fractions. There are 60 number charts included. There is a filled in number chart and 3 number charts with missing spaces to fill in provided for each unit fraction including: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, 1/100 There are 3 levels of successively more difficult charts for filling in for each unit fraction. These fill-in charts could be used for scaffolded practice or for di

This updated collection of scaffolded practice pages comes from my experiences teaching third grade students the concept of addition and subtraction branching. Branching is a method of decomposing numbers to add and subtract. Included is also a description of how to display students' branching with matching printables, so that students collectively can create a 'mathterpiece' with their branching. Most of the sums are within 100, but a few of the addition sums go over 100. These are noted w

This variety of number charts and puzzles 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. Several of these charts begin ten numbers before a multiple of 100. This is in order that students are able to practice identifying what numbers come before multiples of 100. For each section of numbers there is a complet

This activity has students kiss a sheet of grid paper to find the size of their kiss. (This works best if it is copied on colored paper like pink). The teacher hands out cotton swabs to the students with a dab of petroleum jelly for students to smear on lips. Students then count the squares and fractions of squares to arrive at a total for the size of their kiss. Students are also asked to measure the length and width of their kisses in inches. This activity will work well on a day when stud

This packet provides a lesson, practice pages, and an assessment for helping students recognize the pattern that happens when they add 10 to a one digit number. Using this lesson will help students become fluent with adding ten to any one digit number. I have used this lesson successfully with several intervention groups, but I made it cuter for you :). If you like this you may also like Addition Math Facts Fluency Boot Camp. This is a sample of that product. I hope you enjoy using this. F

This variety of number charts has been created for the purpose of helping students improve counting by unit fractions. There are 3 free number charts included, which count by 1/2. There is filled in number chart and 2 number charts with missing spaces to fill in There are 2 levels of fill in number charts are successively more difficult. These fill-in charts could be used for scaffolded practice or for differentiating levels. Filling in the number charts will probably not take an entire hour
