Tackle the skill of adding and subtracting mixed number fractions with like denominators with these 18 problems and answer key with solution methods shown. Use this as an independent practice station, buddy work, task cards, assessment, or divvy up the work by giving each student a problem to solve and teach the class - there are problems for every skill set! Skills students need to be successful in this task: adding and subtracting like denominators, adding and subtracting mixed numbers, simpli

Introducing cursive is a skill that is often bypassed because writing in cursive doesn’t feel as paramount as other skills. But think of cursive writing skills as fine motor practice mixed with the ability to decode letters in all types of handwriting and fonts, a very necessary skill for readers! Even seeing it as beneficial, you need more time to teach it and can’t prioritize it over other phonics. Here’s where the phonics handwriting book comes in! Each page has thoughtfully chosen words to

Launch into a meaningful new year with story and poetry reading, writing, and comprehension! Students may have heard of resolutions before but it's time to make them think deeply about the act of making resolutions. Enjoy discourse around a poem that questions reaching for perfection versus improvement, word families that stretch the use of the word resolution.

Practice adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, mixed numbers, whole numbers. Students are able to self check using the riddle answer key. The final page gives an introduction to unlike denominators as extension for early finishers. Perfect for independent application, partner center, or guided practice. Check out the free notes page to guide students on subtracting fractions from whole numbers or when the first number has a smaller numerator! You'll never teach it the same wa

Fluency with any skill comes with practice. This resource aims to solidify your students' understanding of representations of mixed numbers and proper fractions on number lines - a foundation of number sense that is often bypassed but can make a huge difference in how your students tackle challenging application questions on county or state assessments. There are three activities in this resources and many ideas how to use them in your classroom. My favorite activities are ones I can prep once

This is a great option for morning work or stations for students who are exploring the function of hundreds charts. Challenge them to think directionally adding and subtracting 1s and 10s. I would suggest sampling one with the class before having them work independently in younger grades, or letting them rock and roll in upper grades! This purchase includes three printable pages, increasing in difficulty. A great option for building capacity over multiple days or differentiating for student nee

Distinguishing between different parallelograms can be a challenge. Use this activity to have students apply their knowledge in an engaging way! I intro this activity by storytelling about the Quadrilateral Family Reunion, here's the gist: GrandPapa Parallelogram had offspring who got some of his traits and some of her own special characteristics: Mama Rhombus. She married Daddy Rectangle who fit in nicely in the parallelogram family tree. They had their own perfect little baby who is a little l

This array of lessons is designed to work students up from identifying multiple representations of fractions, flexibly naming fraction equations using fact family principles, and finally using those skills to add and subtract fractions including mixed numbers. Includes: -2 worksheets labeling fraction models, -2 lesson launches to make connections and activate deeper discussions, -6 page packet to support students in using number lines to add and subtract proper fractions and mixed numbers, i

Pixel Art Reveals are a fun way to have students practice a new skill with notes or partners, assess mastery with multiple attempts at learning, or review previously taught skills in stations. Students are motivated to try again even if they don't get a correct answer the first time, something that can be a rarity with a worksheet. This supports students in building their error analysis reflexes, looking for what to change and correct without giving up.  This pixel art focuses on multiplication

Want to address handwriting standards for print and cursive, but don't want to give up meaningful literacy and phonics instruction? Use these writing pages with units or as end of year review. Thoughtfully chosen word examples will remind students of the rules associated with these syllable types. Students have a chance to write in print and cursive, great for making connections about the similarities between letters of different styles - which is arguably the most important skill for cursive, r

Being able to fluently convert and 'think' in equivalent decimals and fractions is a skill that opens doors to a large amount of more challenging mathematics skills. In this task, students review naming equivalents to benchmark and unit fractions. Due to formatting, expect to see repeating decimals written to the thousandths place, ie. 1/3 = 0.333. You will need to remind students that while there are many fractions equal to some of these decimals, we're looking for the simplest form. Lastly, th

Here you'll find what you need to take your students from a concrete understanding of the meaning and correlation between improper fractions and mixed numbers. Starting with note pages that are formatted for binder or interactive notebook use, you can guide your students with the use of important visuals and questioning strategies. Students then build on this representation and learn a procedure for quickly changing back and forth between the two forms, critical for computation skills to come. H

Meet graphing standards and build class community! This graph scaffolds to help students understand key terms like collecting data, survey, and bar graph as well as how to fill in a graph. Four versions are included, with given questions or space for students to create them, and with terms written in or fill in the blank spaces.

Get students thinking about a variety of fractions skills with this task based problem. Two versions gives the opportunity for students to explore multiple strategies with graphic organizers, as independent exploration, group work, or assessment. Get students hooked with a Pin the Carrot on the snowman activity to explore the concept of accuracy in fraction form - great review of the meaning of numerators and denominators. Full page of instructional considerations, highly scaffolded graphic orga
