Rm 34 Berry Patch

This is a project that focusing on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions and mixed numbers. It also focuses on an understanding of area, surface area, area and perimeter concepts aligned with the common core. There a "I can" statements at the top that align with the common core for 6th grade math, as well as some repeats from common core 5th grade math. This unit has 12 story problems that focus on a blueprint of a house, where students must find the area of rectangles and

I have used an interactive notebook for the last 3 years in math and my students love it (well, at least most of them). I found though, that for my lower level students and lower level classes, all of the cute foldable, flippables could be overwhelming and take away quite a bit of instruction time. I decided to adapt my normal interactive notebook to create something more manageable for students who struggled with the interactive piece. I still felt there was a value in taking notes and writin

This is a large project bundle that focuses on geometry concepts learned in 6th grade in particular, but also adaptable to fifth and seventh grades as well or even a higher level class. The bundle addresses an entire geometry unit covering some of the sixth grade common core geometry standards as well as some previous standards in geometry learned in 4th and 5th grades: vocabulary includes rays, lines, angles, perpendicular, parallel, acute, obtuse, straight angles. It also covers 3D shapes,

This is a bundle of worksheets and activities that align with the common core standards for grade 5 Place Value. Each of these activities and worksheets have I can statements at the top based on the common core standards. Their are some activities using base ten blocks, as well as a game and worksheets.

These are sheets that are aligned with the sixth grade common core standards for math and are used to check proficiency. They are separated into how I split my math units, but are completely customizable. They include the common core math standards for 6th grade as well as some of the old Ohio math standards (for our crosswalk). These can be taken off if needed. Each standard is put into a kid friendly I can statement and has a place to mark the date the student has mastered it and a place to co

This is a unit of homework/activities that deal with the common core standards on division for Grade 5. Each worksheet has the I can statements at the top (standards). There is an activity using the book Esio Trot as well as story problems for the division strands.

I have many checkpoints designed as a mini formative assessment to see if students are proficient in different areas. I have many posted already for fifth and sixth grade. This is a bundle that has checkpoints included for integers, coordinate grids, multiplication, division, decimal operations, GCF/LCM, rational numbers, absolute value, and prime numbers/prime factorization. Each checkpoint has I can statements at the top aligned to the common core, as well as a place to mark whether a stude

This is a packet aligned with the 5th grade common core standards dealing with adding and subtracting decimals. (It could be adapted and used with any concept). There are I can statements listed at the top. Directions for the task are also listed, as well as a section to brainstorm ideas together to get the students started. The students write 6 story problems of their own dealing with adding and subtracting decimals. They must then create an answer key to their problems. They will trade wi

This "bundle" of worksheets/activities is aligned to the sixth grade common core standards basedon division. It includes an introduction activitiy on divisibility as well as story problems that go with the division standards.

I have found that since we adopted the Common Core Standards many parents have shown frustration while helping their children with their homework. They do not feel that they can help them anymore as the concepts are new and it has been a long time since they learned similar concepts. In order to help bridge the gap and ease some parents minds, I have created this guide to 6th Grade math. It has all 5 domains included and all the standards that the students need to learn. I have placed them in

This is just an organizational outline of things "hidden" within the common core. It identifies the vocabulary your students need to know to better understand each unit. I listed the standard numbers and tidbits or tips that are needed with that standard (if any). For example, that ratio tables will only have whole numbers (not all rational numbers). Just tricks and tidbits from documents produced by the Ohio, New York, and North Carolina. It's free and just something that helps me organize!

I give each student these forms to hole-punch and put in their 3 ring binder that they have. You can keep them in a data binder or folder as well. After each assessment over the standards (some of my assessments include more than 1 standard), I have the students color in the block that matches that standard. This allows me to see which standards I need to intervene on for each student. (I also record the standards in my own data binder for each kiddo, in case they lose their sheet.). The stu
