Teaching Gracefully

Use this to help students practice or as an assessment when teaching students about placing decimals on number lines, comparing decimals, and ordering decimals. Students are asked to complete the given number line with decimals, choose which decimal correctly identifies the given point on a number line, place specific decimals on a given number line, compare decimals and explain their reasoning, order decimals from least to greatest and greatest to least, and apply these concepts to solving rea

Use this powerpoint as an effective visual aide to teach the students to be able to describe, name, draw, and identify points, lines, rays and line segments. This powerpoint shows the lesson difference and the relationship between points, lines, rays, and line segments. This powerpoint gives an effective visual to explain the definitions, characteristics, and properties of points, lines, rays, and line segments as well as how to name each.

By the end of this unit, the students will extend their conceptual understanding of fractions by arriving at the conclusion that fraction comparisons are valid only when the fractions refer to the same whole in the same units by comparing and ordering fractions with like as well as unlike numerators and denominators based on the magnitudes that they represent, in order to solve story problems involving fractions and creating written explanations to justify the answer, proven through visual model

Use this resource as a helpful tool when teaching students how to compare and order fractions with unlike denominators. This resource provides objectives as well as logical and sequential lesson steps for the mathematical procedure of how to compare and order fractions with unlike denominators by making equivalent fractions using least common multiples in language that you and your students can understand. This resource includes working through an example of each type of problem.

Use this powerpoint to teach students how to recognize and generate equivalent fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 by using grids and compare fractions with denominators 10 and 100. The powerpoint starts with having the students review how to compare fractions with unlike denominators by creating equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then it moves to an attention getter of having the students look at pictures that the students see different things while looking at the same picture.

At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to create an array to represent groups of objects, identify the rows and columns in the array, construct repeating addition and multiplication number sentences to represent arrays, use the multiplication strategies of repeated addition and arrays to model various situations, and solve multiplication number sentences by using multiplication strategies such as repeating addition and skip counting. This lesson plan includes objectives, essentia

At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to create an array to represent groups of objects, identify the rows and columns in the array, construct repeating addition and multiplication number sentences to represent arrays, use the multiplication strategies of repeated addition and arrays to model various situations, and solve multiplication number sentences by using multiplication strategies such as repeating addition and skip counting. This lesson plan includes several hands on act

Use this powerpoint to teach students how to compare fractions with like denominators. This powerpoint begins with a few slides to be used as an attention getter as well as to explain when comparing fractions, the wholes need to be the same size. The powerpoint then moves to how to the concrete by showing how to compare fractions visually by drawing models and partitioning the whole into the same size parts. Then it moves to the abstract by generalizing a rule to be used when comparing any fr

The Black, White, and Read All-Over Newspaper Center the summary of activities and all of the individual center activities. The summary of activities includes the explanation of 7 activities, the objectives, standard, and evaluation of each activity. The activities include: Author’s Purpose Scavenger Hunt (Literacy), Autos for Sale (Math: Expanded Form and Standard Form), Parts of a Newspaper (Computer/Literacy), What’s the Weather? (Science and Math: Graphing), Win or Lose Sports Search (Liter

Oh no! All of the candy corn have fallen apart! Can you help to put them back together? The Candy Corn Count and Match Up Game is a great way for students to practice matching the standard number (Arabic numerals) and the written number word to the correct amount of objects.

Use this Power Point to teach how to find the value of pennies, nickels, and dimes by using a hundreds chart. This Power Point has animations that will help visual learns gain a conceptual understanding of the value of pennies, nickels, and dimes and give them a strategy that they can use to count change.

Use this pre-assessment to find out what your students already know about comparing fractions and decimals. This pre-assessment asks the students to use < , > , = to compare fractions with like and unlike numerators and denominators, solve a word problem involving fraction comparison, order decimals from least to greatest, place a decimal on a number line, and match amounts expressed in unit form to its equivalent fraction and decimal form.

By the end of this lesson the students should be able to develop and use strategies for whole-number computations, with a focus on addition and subtraction, model, demonstrate, and act out The commutative property of addition, match number sentences that demonstrate the Commutative Property, construct number sentences that demonstrate the Commutative Property of Addition from a given number sentence, and identify the addends in a number sentence. This lesson plan includes several hands on activ

At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to name angles, identify the parts of an angle, create angles, classify angles, and identify angles in shapes. This lesson plan includes objectives, essential questions, standards, evaluation methods, materials needed, and the procedural steps for the attention getter, summary directive, group instruction/demonstration, guided practice, independent practice, assessment, and closure. This lesson plan includes several hands on activities that

Use this Pac Man Angles Power Point to introduce and teach the different type of angles. This Power Point is designed to be used with the Types of Angles Power Point. This Power Point has animations and transitions and it is designed to be used as a visual aide to introduce the concept of straight, acute, right, and obtuse angles.

Cut out and laminate these puzzle pieces to use as a game for students to reinforce and practice the concept that multiplication is repeated addition. The students will match together arrays, multiplication sentences, and repeated addition sentences that all represent the same amount.

By the end of this lesson the students should be able to develop and use strategies for whole-number computations, with a focus on addition and subtraction, model, demonstrate, and act out The commutative property of addition, match number sentences that demonstrate the Commutative Property, construct number sentences that demonstrate the Commutative Property of Addition from a given number sentence, and identify the addends in a number sentence. This lesson plan includes objectives, essential

Use this powerpoint to teach, show, and demonstrate multiplication strategies and patterns. This powerpoint with transitions and animations is a helpful visual aide that shows students how they can use a multiplication fact table with factors on the top row and first column to find the product where the row and the column intersect. This powerpoint also teaches about arrays and how to find the product of factors by using an array. This powerpoint fives multiple examples using each strategy type

In this project students will practice the skills of adding, multiplying, and dividing multi-digit numbers in a fun, engaging, real world situation. The students get to plan their own field trip by researching and choosing a place to go, recording the price to enter and tour the location, use Google Maps to find the distance from your school to the location, find the average price of gas right now, use multi-digit multiplication to find how much transportation/gas will cost to get to your locat

The students are to use < , > , or = to compare two fractions with unlike numerators and denominators. The students will then justify their comparison by using the visual representation of a number line, a picture, fraction tiles, and benchmark fractions. They will then write an explanation to justify their comparisons.
