These vocabulary cards are used in my fractions unit. The words include fraction, numerator, denominator, fraction bar, improper fraction, equivalent fraction, mixed number, simplest form, like fraction, unlike fraction, and unit fraction. Each card contains a definition and an example. I made these to save time because it is much easier to print them on card stock or have them paste them to an index card than to have them write out vocabulary as called for in my curriculum guide.

This Power Point walks through using the distributive property to solve 2 digit by 1 digit and 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication problems. With each mouse click, the next step in the process is revealed. There are 4 slides which demonstrate the process using arrays. The four examples with arrays are all 2 digits multiplied by 1 digit. There are four more 2 digit by 1 digit slides that illustrate the process without an array. There are three slides that illustrate 3 digit by 1 digit problems. Alo

To get extra practice simplifying fractions, I created this sort activity so that students can cut and paste. I have them simplify all of the fractions first then give the sort sheet after they have completed the simpifying. This could also be used as a center.

This power point is a follow up to my "Multiplying Using the Distributive Property" powerpoint (students multiply 2 and 3 digit numbers by 1 number) which is also on TPT. In this power point, students will walk through the steps of using the distributive property to solve 2 digit by 2 digit problems. A click of the mouse reveals the next step in the process. A power point guide is provided and students are able to complete the problem on their guide as the power point is played. The first 4 slid

This is an activity in which students find the factors of 1-24 using cookie cereal to make arrays to assist them. They complete a chart as they find each factor. After finding the factors or 1-24, there is a sheet in which they identify the prime and composite numbers. There are also practice finding factors worksheets included. I created this activity as an alternative to the Core Curriculum Unit 2 Activity 4. I've used it in my classroom and it worked very well.

In this unit, students explore the concept of divisibility, establish divisibility rules, complete a worksheet, play a game, and take a quiz. The unit takes a week to complete. Activity 1: (2 days) Students explore divisibility using counters. Instead of counters, I use a food product, either cereal or cheez-its. Students work in pairs to divide the counters into the groups assigned in the chart and record the number of groups made. Activity 2: (1 day) Students are given hundreds charts and co

Division unit vocabulary cards include the terms difference, division, divisor, dividend, quotient, and division notations. The cards also include how to tell if a number is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10 with examples. Printing the cards for the students saves time and prevents handwriting and copying issues. Look great in black and white too!

I created these task cards to serve my enrichment students while comparing numbers. There are twelve cards with two numbers to compare with a missing digit and twelve cards with three digits to compare with a missing digit.
