This resource is a part of a differentiated math curriculum for grades K-6. The year is broken up into 7 Units:
Place Value
Addition/Subtraction
Multiplication/Division
Algebraic Thinking
Parts of a whole (Fractions and Decimals)
Measurement
Geometry
Each topic is broken up into many more units (this is the first topic in the first unit). These units should be taught over a span of 4 or 5 weeks.
How It Works:
The curriculum lays out each concept in the progression of how it is taught by concept, not by grade level. It is made with the intention of filling gaps. Each lesson has an objective and a note as to what grade and standard are being covered. There is also a calendar guide to help each grade level teacher know how much time to spend on each topic within a unit.
Each unit comes with a diagnostic test to be given at the beginning of the unit. This test will help the educator know which lessons to teach and which topics to focus on within the unit. That way you know what skills your students are missing from previous grades and what they will need to know in future grades. This may be helpful if:
You teach homeschool and have kids in different grades
You have a mixed class with multiple grade levels
You have one grade level, but the students have learning gaps
You have advanced students who are ready for the material for the next grade AND you have students who are needing gaps fill from past material
It is a math unit that comes ready to be DIFFERENTIATED to fit the needs of EACH little learner you are teaching!

This is a creative writing assignment to help teach students about persuasive writing. There are 4 different levels of the assignment so it can meet the needs of a variety of skill levels and grades (k-8th).
In society today, we are influenced by many different forms of media. To help illustrate this, there is a second part to this project where students will take their writing and create a visual written form of their opinion.
Read the prompt and ideas below. Create a brainstorm/prewrite on the topic.
Use the brainstorm/prewrite to write a persuasive writing piece. Write a few sentences, paragraph, or essay explaining your opinion. Make sure to include a topic or thesis statement, reasons for your opinions, examples, and explanations of each reason, and a conclusion.
Then choose a writing form from the list and then pick one of the prompts below to convince someone of your opinion. Create a digital or paper version of a letter, email, pamphlet, app/website (get creative with a paper version of an app with different screens/pages), blog, debate, or advertisement.

This assignment is made to help students see the importance of point of view in Narrative Stories. Students will be given the same prompt but will be instructed to write the narrative from different “character’s” point of view.
There are 4 different levels for this writing assignment so it can be used for kindergarten through 8th grade. This differentiation can create a way for teachers and homeschool parents to teach the same concept to a variety of skill levels.
There are 4 different points of view to write from/4 different writing prompts. Students can either write 4 stories (one from each point of view) OR students can each pick one prompt and write from that, and then students can share and present their writing and as a class, talk about how the different points of view changed the stories.

This is a teacher resource that can be used throughout the whole year. Included are edible templates for the following:
Class Roster: This is a great way to get a quick glance at student information that may be needed throughout the year. Write in parent names, phone numbers and emails…as well as student birthday, and a row for extra information (how student’s get home, special needs for specific students, etc.)
Classroom Data Sheet: Write the title of the text and the name of each student and then keep track of your student’s scores and growth. This is a great way to get a quick look at weekly assessments throughout the year.St
Student Sign Out Sheet: Keep this by the door. Have students write their names, the location of where they are going, the date and the time they leave and return. Good for older students to hold them accountable for time outside of the classroom.
Class Checklist: Use the class list to check off students as they complete tasks and assignments. Class lists can be great for holding students accountable and keeping track of students for assignments, groups and more.
Anecdotal Notes Page: With so many students, it can be hard to keep track of the little things that happen throughout the year. Keep a stack of sticky notes with a binder next to this template (print a half-page for each student). Then when it comes time for meetings with parents and administrators, you can keep track of important moments with the students in the class, behavior concerns, small things you’ve noticed, tardies/absences, even accomplishments or funny things students have said! This can also be great for your reflection to look back on at the end of the year and see the progress that can’t always be shown through a test!
All of these resources can be used for multiple grade levels and with multiple class sizes OR homeschool parents. They are Microsft Powerpoint presentations that are made set to be printed on standard paper. This means you can edit them and print them just for your class, print them as-is and handwrite names OR keep them on the compute to save on paper!
