This is a 10-page PDF file that provides practice in solving problems with percents, including those where students must find the part (given the percent) or the whole, given a part. Each situation is scaffolded with a partially completed bar model/tape diagram that helps students visualize the quantities in the problem. All of the answers are whole numbers, with some problems requiring more challenging reasoning than others. These cards were designed to directly align with Common Core 6.RP.A.3

This is a double set of task cards (2 sets of 24, or 48 cards total) designed to give students practice with solving rate problems using a double number line diagram. These problems were designed to support common core 6.RP.3. I first started using this model last year when my school implemented common core and made a set of task cards to use with my above level fifth graders. My students did well with the model, and I quickly realized that I needed more practice for them. I particularly wan

This is a double set bundle of task cards (2 sets of 24 cards each) that give students practice using a tape diagram/bar model to solve percent problems. In some problems, they are finding the part, and in others the whole. All problems use whole numbers for solutions. I created my first set of cards with this model and used them with my above level fifth grade students this past school year. I hadn't used this model prior to my school adopting the common core, but I have to say that I was qu

This is now a 14-page PDF that contains matching cards, warm-ups, and worksheets. The matching cards include square numbers shown in 4 different forms (exponent form, standard form, expanded form, and as an array). I have updated this file to include the cards in 2 different sizes, based on a good suggestion from a purchaser. The warm ups are in half page format and include practice with mainly square numbers, but a few cubed numbers. The worksheets then add in other exponents and writing numb

This is a 50-page file that contains 6 sets of task cards. They are designed to support a classroom using the red/yellow 2-color chip model of teaching children to represent positive and negative numbers. There are 2 sets of 24-card decks that focus on adding integers (and recording the number sentence and sum), 2 sets that focus on subtracting integers (and recording the number sentence and difference), and then a bonus 2 sets of cards that present subtraction number sentences for the kids to
