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 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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

Have the students practice making equivalent fractions mathematically by finding the missing number in the fraction.

These word problem task cards have the students apply the skills that they have learned of two digit by two digit multiplication and two step division to solve real-world word problems. Are they able to analyze the word problem and deduce which operation they need to use to solve the problem? These word problems come with an answer sheet that contains the number sentences needed to be used to solve the problem.

By the end of this lesson, the students will be able to compare and order fractions with unlike denominators by forming equivalent fractions from least common multiples. 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 t

This summary of activities for the Black, White, and Read All-Over Newspaper Center 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 (Literacy: Synonyms and Antonyms), A Chance to be a Journalist (Social S

Use this assessment to see if the students are able to recognize and generate equivalent fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 by using grids and compare fractions with denominators 10 and 100. There is a hundreds grid that is shaded. The students are to write two different equivalent fractions that represent the amount that is shaded on the grid (one with a denominator of 10, and one with the denominator of 100). The students are then to prove by showing mathematically that the two fracti

In this Newspaper Center activity, the students will construct a graph for high and low temperatures and will find the weekly average of both the high and low temperatures. The students will find the Forecast of the week’s weather in the newspaper. The students will record both the high and the low temperatures on the line graph. They will use red to record the high temperatures and blue to record the low temperatures. The students will give the graph an appropriate title and label both the x- a

Use this Book of Fractions to teach and help students practice fractional concepts. This Book of fractions enables students to locate and identify fractional parts, write and read fractions, construct fractions that represent a part of a whole shape, and create a part of a whole by coloring a shape that corresponds with a given fraction. The students will use markers, crayons, or colored pencils to color in equal parts on both the rectangles and the circles to represent halves, thirds, fourth

Use this to help students practice or as an assessment when teaching fractions and decimals. Students are to write a decimal and a fraction to represent the part of a grid that is shaded, compare fractions and decimals, shade grids to represent given decimals, write fractions as decimals, and write decimals as fractions.

After teaching students strategies and procedures for how to divide, have students complete this fun, engaging, and hands on real-world performance task as another method and form of assessment. Bring in candy and have the students figure out different ways to share the candy evenly among all of the students. See how many ways the students can prove to you the number of pieces that each student should receive. The students need to write a word problem and an equation, draw a model, show their wo

Practice writing numbers in standard form, word form, and expanded form in this fun activity. Students will find the Automotive Sales in the Classifieds section of the newspaper. They will choose five cars that they would like to buy. They will write the name, year, and the price of each car in standard form, word form and expanded form. Then the students will practice comparing and ordering numbers by writing the name of the cars in order from the least expensive car to the most expensive car.
