I asked our third graders for suggestions for helping them review fractions and this was their idea: a two page comic book that features one of their favorite foods, PIZZA! A pizza is divided and divided to review halves, quarters, and eighths. Choose color or blackline images that students can color. Choose to print with text or have students add text. Use a powerpoint to introduce the sequence of images or copy and paste from the presentation to use the images in another way in your classroom

Display a set of 4 digit numbers. Before a student can add the four numbers, announce the sum to the amazement of your students. You could explain the strategy to a capable or prepared student who would become a math hero for your class. Simply print, cut, and glue 4 mental logs from two sheets of paper. A video explains how to create the four mental logs and then the strategy for knowing the sum of the four numbers at a glance! On the last page you'll find several ★ FREEBIES ★ to use both in

Investigate patterns created after you convert three letters to numbers. After you create a design you can decorate it with crayons or felt pens. This could easily be a distance activity, a team building activity, a challenge for a gifted student, or share with families at home or a math night. All you need is dot paper and a pencil. If students don't have dot paper at home they could place one sheet of lined paper rotated 90º over several sheets of lined paper. Instead of dots, students create

My students are fascinated by this activity. Consider using it as you introduce, review, or practice multiplication facts. It helps students to see the patterns created by products. Use two worksheets to list the multiples of each number 2-10. Convert the two-digit products to single digits. Use a circle with numbers next to the list to show the pattern created by the products. Capable primary grade students could enjoy completing this activity. Capable intermediate grade students might choos

Use this game to practice matching equations to solutions. Choose from two different versions of the game. In one-step equations students match problems like 7 + x = 11 with x = 4 or 22 - 15 = x with x = 7. In two step equations students match 3x + 3 = 6 with x = 1 or 30 - 5x = 5 with x = 5. Just print, cut and bag cards and answer keys. When you have a few minutes of free time or students have earned a reward, it's easy to set up games to review solving equations.
