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,

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

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

Students will use order of operations to evaluate and solve twelve problems—a key skill on their journey in learning how to solve more complex algebraic expressions. This sheet includes: PEMDAS notes at the top of each page (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally)12 expressions to solveIntroduction to key vocabulary terms: simplify, evaluate, solveAnswer sheetCheck out the preview!Be sure to check out our other resources!Keywords: order of operations, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, m

Students will select the correct expression after solving the first step in an order of operations problem--a key skill on their journey in learning how to solve more complex algebraic expressions. This sheet includes: Detailed example of how to select the correct expression after solving the first step20 expressions to solveAnswer sheetCheck out the preview!Be sure to check out our other resources!Keywords: order of operations, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, math, 5th grade ma

Your students will think critically about order of operations problems by inserting parentheses to make number sentences true. Students will understand why the order of operations is so important as they examine how it affects problem outcomes. Have them approach each problem as a puzzle. What will they need to do to make it true?! This sheet includes: Detailed example of false number sentence and how to make it true20 number sentences to make trueAnswer sheetCheck out the preview!Be sure to che

Give your students everything they need to successfully perform order of operations problems. This explanation and how to guide explains order of operations, introduces PEMDAS ("Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally"), and give several scaffolded examples and problems. Teachers and parents can let students perform the problems or use them in guided instruction as examples. This resource includes: Brief article introducing the importance of order of operationsExplanation of PEMDASSeveral examples that

This bundle includes five sheets that will challenge your students to model fractions and decimals, place them on a number line, then write them in order. Students will explore multiple ways to write and conceptualize decimals and fractions so they understand WHY they go in the order that they do. Viewing decimals and fractions in multiple contexts gives students a deeper understanding of what these numbers actually represent. Each sheet explores one set of four decimal numbers and fractions th

This reading passage--A Smaller Product: Multiplying Decimals--explores decimal multiplication by beginning with a simple explanation of multiplying whole numbers, moves on to explaining the concepts of a whole number times a decimal, then ends with why two decimal numbers equal a product less than both. Students ALWAYS ask this questions; explore it with them before you begin solving problems with decimal multiplication strategies! 347-word reading passageClear models that explain whole number

This bundle includes ten sheets that show students how decimals are more than just a point between two numbers. Addition and subtraction problems serve as a launchpad for students to explore multiple ways to write and conceptualize decimals, from writing fractions to shading models to placing decimals on a number line, and more. Viewing decimals in multiple contexts gives students a deeper understanding of what decimal numbers actually represent. Each sheet explores one problem. Students must r
