Purposeful Teaching Tools

For ALL Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) Math Teachers that have a SMART Board Notebook, this Notebook File is a MUST! Teach CGI on the SMARTBoard with ease! CGI is 100% Common Core Mathematics Aligned!! Each slide contains an infinite number of manipulatives for students to "pull from" when sharing their problem solving strategy with the class. They can easily demonstrate how they used their tools / manipulatives as they pull from the manipulatives at the top part of the slide then drag

This is a multi-step CGI Problem that includes Money, Addition, and Subtraction. Based on a "Trip to the Beach" students add the amount of money they have (JRU), decide how they want to spend it (SRU), solve to see how much they have left, and write an equation to match their strategy. Includes: 1 - (2 page/2 Part) CGI Problem 1 - Photo Student Sample Page

Be extra confident in knowing that your Morning Calendar Routine is aligned with the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics! Use these BLANK Calendar Pieces to draw in the “Value of the Day” with rods and units each day to match the day of the month! Great way to take morning calendar time one step higher and reach Common Core State Standards (CCSS.K.NBT.A.1 and CCSS.1.NBT.B.2.A) in Number and Operations in Base Ten for Mathematics! In addition to Base Ten, use these calendar pieces to
