5th Math CCSS STEM Performance Task: Play-Area Pavers
This CCSS Performance Task is a four part task modeled after Smarter Balanced test questions. Students engage with four questions which build upon one another under the guise of developing the pavers a fast-food restaurant chain will use to remodel the playgrounds at their locations.

Dotty Decimals - Decimal Multiplication Game
Students struggling with fluency with decimal multiplication? This always-changing game adds a dose of competition to help them on their way! This game uses a deck of cards to provide the numerals and a bingo chip as a decimal point to allow students to create the numbers they're multiplying. The use of a coin toss adds a bit of randomization to keep kids thinking about the values of the numbers they're using and what the operation does to those values. While the game is compatible with Ever

Brain Labels
To help our students stay organized, we set up a "brain" in their School Life Binder. In addition to their school-issued date book/agenda, we turn four folders inside-out and label them to help the students stay organized. This product includes a .pdf to print 3 sets of labels per one page of Avery 5160 labels.
To use: Collect four inexpensive (no prongs!) folders per student. Fold each inside out. Use a large three-hole punch to punch a set of holes on the opposite side of the folders from

Teaching style
HANDS-ON! I love integrating technology and use an Interactive White Board non-stop. I had an opportunity to teach in a 1:1 iPad classroom for a year and loved it! I spend as little time as possible lecturing. We're almost always creating, experimenting, viewing, observing, manipulating, role-playing, and discovering.
