Using the book "If the World Were a Village" by David J. Smith students model decimals on hundredths grids.

This resource outlines steps with examples on how to use models to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. This is a good resource to send home for homework help or to give to students when first introducing the concept. It allows students to have something to reference as they practice and get more familiar with the process.

You will need to provide students with grid paper to create their line graphsStudents use the information from Blood on The River by Eliza Carbone to create line graphs of corn and corn meal supply vs. how many people can be fed over a certain period of time.

How to play: 1. Cut out all of the cards and place them in the paper bag. 2. The first player chooses a card from the bag and looks at it without letting the other player see it. 3. The second player begins asking the first player “yes” or “no” questions. 4. Each time the second player asks a question, he/she makes a tally for that round. 5. The by asking these “yes” or “no” questions the second player tries to guess what shape the first player is thinking about. 6. If the second playe

This flowchart will guide students through important questions to ask as they add and subtract fractions.

Math resources to be used along with the book "If the World Were a Village" by David J. Smith. Students will model, add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals.
