This file includes 5 things to meet the CCSS 5.G.3-4: 1) Student sheet: Quadrilateral Hierarchy Chart (2 pages) 2) Shape Cards A-O (15 quadrilaterals to use with chart) 3) Tree map showing the hierarchy of quadrilaterals 4) Answer key for Chart 5) Basic definitions of the types of quadrilaterals (I use these as a guide for the students to make a foldable of the terms and definitions) **Note: The trapezoid in this activity uses the "EXCLUSIVE" definition: meaning that the trapezoid is defined as
Here's a great welcome back to school activity for students to share what they did over the summer OR winter break in a productive way, fun way! There are two versions in this product! Page 1: Back to School (after the summer) Page 2: New Year (After winter break) First explain it to the kids. Then give them 10 minutes to get signatures. Then call on students to share who did what from the sheet. During this time, ask for elaboration. Great way to build report with your students too! Sure

Some activities include: Predicting, questioning, vocabulary development, drama, comic strip, dear diary, travel brochure, timeline, book review, and/ or author study.
Students use a geoboard (or Geoboard App on iPad) to construct specific triangles and quadrilaterals. (Listed here)
right triangle isosceles triangle parallelogram trapezoid
acute triangle scalene triangle kite rectangle
obtuse triangle quadrilateral rhombus square
This product covers Common Core Standards in grades:
3rd- 3G1: Reason with Shapes and Attributes
4th-4.G.2: Classify two-dimensional figures
5th- 5.G.3-4: Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their prope
Coordinate Grid Mystery Picture!Connect the coordinate points to create a four-leaf clover on a 1st Quadrant Grid. Spells the word "Lucky!" also. Great way to add some theme math-art to your classroom work!
This is a continuation of Open Box A, with volumes that a little bit larger.
Meets Common Core State Standard: 5.MD.5: Relate volume to the operation of multiplication.
This hands on activity requires students to cut out, fold, and then find how many centimeter cubes will fill the box. Students then record the dimensions of the box and relate to the volume through multiplication. (length x width) x height = volume
How many different ways can you combine your favorite shirts with your favorite pants? In this activity, students color their own shirts and ties to explore the concept of "combinations".
Note: According to mathematics definitions, in combinations, the order does NOT matter. Combination 1A is the same as A1, this would be "one combination".
They begin with just 2 shirts and 2 ties, then progress toward 5 shirts and 5 ties! They also explore the relationship between the number of shirts an
Looking for a clean, simple way to post the 8 Mathematical Practices?
Here are all eight practices, one per page. You can print on regular paper, or enlarge to make even bigger!
Two options on the .zip file:
1) In color (ROYGBIV)
2) Black&White (Cut apart and put on colored background)
Good for all grades K-12.
What is the probability of your students will learn from this activity? Pretty likely! Remember in mathematics, permutations order matters! Whereas combinations (in math) order does NOT matter. In this activity the scoop on top does matter! I always save the best for last!
Using student make ice-cream scoops, they manipulate the possible permutations of two and three scoops of ice-cream. They begin with just two scoops- Either AB or BA.
Then they move on to three scoops: ABC, ACB, BAC, B
Here's a classic Back to School Activity for grades 3-10!
Students get re-acquainted by moving around the room to get autographs of classmates who...(well you'll have to see the sample.)
In Word format which is customizable.
Also in pdf to preserve the original format.
Happy getting back to school! :)
Game Time for multiplication practice! It's the classic Dots and Boxes game with a twist... You have to solve multiplication facts to get the dots! This packet includes 9 game boards, each focusing on one specific fact family at a time, and directions on how to play. (from x2 to x10). Either use a paper clip with the spinner on the game board, or use one 10-sided dice. Use these games along with weekly multiplication quizzes to help students focus on one fact family at a time. Here's a li
•Are you ready for your students to know their basic multiplication facts? Me too! This packet includes everything you need to quiz, keep track of student progress, and award their success too! •Instead of overwhelming your students with all the facts at once, this system focuses on one fact family at a time. Students are assessed once a week on each fact family, starting with the 2s. Mastery (100% accurate in one minute or less) is the expectation to move on to the next fact family. ~~~~~~~

Are you trying to build fluency with Equivalent Fractions? Well, this is for you!
Included are:
1) Game board for Fraction Wipeout (must create dice to match game- Just write the 6 fractions on a blank cube)
2) Equal Fractions Review. Students Use fraction bars (or memory) to partition the "equal fractions". This is then used as a tool for the game.
Common Core State Standards: Grades 3-5 Equivalent Fractions!
Conversation Heart Valentines Math! Just download this file and give each pair of students one small box (1oz) of conversation hearts. The rest is math! •Includes data gathering, line plot, and problem solving too: •Multi-digit addition, subtraction, and multiplication. •Even a growing pattern! Made for 4th grade, but can be used for grades 3-5.
Do your students need a tool in their hand to find equivalent fractions? Well, here it is! And Free! I printed a class set in color and laminated mine to last. The size of this card is designed to fit in an Index Card size laminating pouch (3½ x 5½), if you're using your own laminating machine. Related fractions are the same color: Green: 1/3 and 1/6 Red: 1/4 and 1/8 Blue: 1/5 and 1/10 Since 1/12 has many, it's its own color. Hope this helps!
Use this poster to brighten up your doorway!
