Third Grade Lex

I have done this activity with my students for years, and they (like me) love a chance to integrate math exploration with sweet treats. This can work as an independent work station, or as a whole-class experience while you assist students at the same time. This includes almost everything you need for a multiplication exploration: *A "manipulation mat" as a work space for your students *A student recording page *A rubric for teacher use to assess students' work All you need to provide is the c

UPDATED: Grade levels changed to reflect Common Core Shift. Common Core Standards tagged. This is a hands-on experience with 3-D shapes that your students will love. It would be great to use as an introduction to 3-dimensional figures and a helpful experience for students to use the math vocabulary. Students will explore seven polyhedron listed in the table (possibly as a manipulative math center). While exploring the objects, they will be able to record their findings in the table on the work

This document is a study of equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents for students in grades 5 and 6. Students will work with: • Multi-Colored centimeter cubes • Base-ten blocks • Blank Hundreds Grid (to fit centimeter cubes) • Corresponding Template This activity is not an introductory lesson, but it is a culminating experience for students to use their understanding of fractions, decimals, and percents in order to plan a garden plot for Mrs. Flowers. NCTM process standards are cited.

I created this work page as a pre-assessment before I explicitly taught any multiplication lessons to my students. My main goal was to see how my students were able to represent their thinking involving real-world multiplication problems. I allowed them ample work space to answer three separate math stories in order to uncover background knowledge and drive my future instruction. This three-question, simple page can reveal many things about your students without overwhelming them. Some may draw

This simple activity allows students to predict and then record the probability of rolling a 6-sided die 60 times. Student tally and make a line plot of the data. Each student needs the recording sheet, a die, and a pencil. It would be a great addition to a Probability page in an interactive math notebook!
