This sheet challenges students to visually model decimals, write them as decimals, and then shade other models to represent equivalent fractions. Students will explore multiple ways to write and conceptualize decimals and fractions so they understand different perspectives of what constitutes a fraction. Viewing decimals and fractions in multiple contexts gives students a deeper understanding of what these numbers actually represent. Each column explores one fractional number represented multipl

Problem solving is the final step to understanding and applying conceptual math skills to real-word scenarios. Have your students take this step by using fractions and analysis to solve these real-world word problems. Problems get progressively more difficult and mix fraction only problems with mixed number problems. Each problem has a dedicated workspace—prefect for print, Easel, or other online PDF marking tools. Full answer key included. Check out the preview!Follow Sciensanity! on TpTAlso,

Students will calculate the measure of an unknown angle based on the angle of an intersecting line of a right angle—a key skill in plane geometry. It teaches critical thinking, prompting students to think about connections and relationships in geometry. This resource includes a how-to guide examples, and practice exercises that progress in difficulty.

This set of 20 math sheets (10 warm up sheets and 10 homework sheets) will make your math class run like clockwork, whether you are in school, homeschool, working virtually, or just want to give your child's math skills a boost. Here's the system: Each warm up has several problems—enough to be challenging, but not overwhelming. Some concepts are review, others might be part of a current unit, and some are concepts you will pre-teach and return to throughout the year. Each homework is exactly lik

Patterns are a first step to learning how to apply universal rules in math. Students use patterns as a foundation for In/Out boxes, applying rules, and learning and using functions. This resource includes a simple introduction to patterns, then explains how to identify them with letters. Then students apply their knowledge with the included activity! This resource includes: 260-word article that introduces mathematical patterns, introduces letter identifiers for patterns, and explains how to ide

Prime and composite numbers is a key concept in math and this resource helps children understand the concept of factors, prime numbers, and composite numbers, using fact families, models, and divisibility. Use the article and examples as scaffolded notes for your class to use over and over. This resource includes: 700-word article that describes number properties, briefly defines odd and even numbers, then explains prime and composite numbers in detailStep by step instructions for using models t

Using models to represent odd and even numbers is a great way to help students fully understand this number property, as well as the math strategies of doubles and doubles plus one. Students must conceptualize dividing by two in the framework of real-world objects, taking something that is abstract and making it concrete. This deepens their understanding and helps them apply what they've learned! This resource includes: 290-word article that describes number properties, defines odd and even numb

Using models to represent factors and determine whether numbers are prime or composite is a great way to help students fully understand the concepts of factoring, prime and composite, and multiplication. Students must conceptualize multiplication in the framework of real-world objects, taking something that is abstract and making it concrete. This deepens their understanding and helps them apply what they've learned! This activity tasks students with dividing models up into equal groups, indicat

Use this guide to basic plane figures as the perfect primer for your elementary students just beginning their journey into geometry. It defines plane geometry and introduces students to these basic plane figures: points, lines, rays, and line segments. It also explains how to name these geometric figures using points. This resource includes: Two-page guide to identifying and naming basic geometric figures, including study guide panelWorksheet on identifying these basic plane figuresWorksheet on

If you're like me, teaching sample spaces is difficult Knowing a spinner has a one-in-three chance of landing on red is one thing... but once we introduce combinations, students begin to get confused. Use this scaffolded, rigorous, but fun sheet to introduce or review creating sample spaces. Students will create three different types of samples spaces. This helps them understand that a sample space is not a format, but a way of viewing probability through visually combining possibilities. THIS S
