1st grade Interactive Math Playlet: We Love Candy Corn
This is an engaging PowerPoint presentation designed for 1st grade math.
A math playlet is a one act play designed for interactive mental math. Your kids will love applying math strategies they’ve learned to the collaborative, real-life interactive story settings. Prep time is minimal—just connect your computer to your document camera or smart board and you are ready to go. Printable task cards are included for discussion or for independent practice.
Math playlets are designed to engage all your kids in vigorous math talk.
Encourage thoughtful errors and mistakes and talk it out, then celebrate the success.
Math playlets not only reinforce math concepts, but also engage learners in reading and communication skills. They are aligned to the standards to help children use their understanding of place value, number lines, and properties of operations to become fluent in applying number operation strategies.
MP1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
MP4 Model with mathematics.
MP6 Attend to precision.
Everything is included for QUICK SETUP AND EASE OF USE.
As director you will interact, reinforce concepts, keep the fun and energy levels high, and enjoy the collaboration with your class as students are asked to think about and apply math as the playlet progresses. While “mathematizing” with your students, they will experience curiosity, excitement, humor, team spirit, “what ifs”, “Ah-Ha’s”, drama, and “I got it, I can do this!”
Hook your students’ curiosity with the introductory photos and facts that set up the playlet. Students will use models, number lines, and drawings to demonstrate understanding of math reasoning.
This resource supports what administrators look for in an interactive math class. I have used interactive playlets when being formally evaluated and have received great feedback from others who have used them also.

5th Grade “Think Out Loud” Interactive Math
“Think Out Loud” has been a successful tool in my quest for students to become independent learners. Now, having added many interactive tech-friendly resources, the kids are more excited, enthused and engaged—and it shows in their understanding of math!
It is truly Hi—Powered Mental Math!
“Think Out Loud” is an interactive PowerPoint designed to keep the students focused on math problem solving. You will see them talk to each other about math as they quickly engage “in the math moment.” Kids respond with, “Can we do it again?” and “What else can we teach?” Whether high or low achievers, students will become confident speakers about math. They will all want a turn at solving a problem. You will all love the spontaneous discussion.
Students will be encouraged to make mental pictures of the numbers, the word problems, the models, and how they fit together. This activity helps with computation and math fluency. It’s important to keep the moment positive. Let your kids know they are not being judged, they are being encouraged to try. It’s fun!
TALK-THROUGH-ERRORS STRATEGY: WRONG ANSWERS give you the opportunity to help the student stretch to reach the right answer. Give the student these options: Take a thoughtful guess. Ask for a hint. Have a friend whisper a clue. Do a group huddle. Then discuss how they reached the right answer. Show that errors and mistakes are paths to the right answer and math mastery.
Be sure everyone succeeds. The enthusiasm is contagious.
“Think Out Loud” math is designed to help all learners:
Make sense of math!
Deepen reasoning about math!
Communicate about math!
Apply accuracy in computation!
Build confidence as mathematicians!
MP1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
MP4 Model with mathematics.
MP6 Attend to precision.
Everything is included for QUICK SETUP AND EASE OF USE. Just plug in and go!
Try this out with your class!

3.OA.7 Grade 3 Math Interactive Test Prep– FLUENTLY MULTIPLY & DIVIDE WITHIN 100
Included are: Interactive Math PowerPoint Task Cards—to reinforce students’ practice and mastery of 3.OA.7: Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
You want your students ENGAGED?
The feedback from teachers across the country and my fellow teachers at school, who use these grade-level interactive sets of task cards, state that kids are engaged and enthused; that the students are focused on the screen, calculating the problems, helping one another with the answers, laughing at the images and animations, and most of all – TALKING OUT LOUD ABOUT MATH.
~~~ We call it the “WOW” factor! ~~~
• Interactive PowerPoint designed for computer/doc camera and Smart Boards.
• No Prep format: Plug in computer and go.

65 ESSENTIAL LITERARY DEVICES QUESTION POSTERS AND TASK CARDS
65 ESSENTIAL LITERARY DEVICES QUESTION POSTERS AND TASK CARDS
(Aligned to Common Core, Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, and Backward Design)
A link to hundreds of “free to use” stories from the historic McGuffey Eclectic Readers is included.
This product covers five categories of Literary Devices:
Story Structure
Point of View and Theme
Tone and Mood
Literary Techniques
Unique Genres: Poetry and Drama
Here is a resource to connect kids daily to in-depth thinking and writing about reading. The rigorous questions are kid-friendly. The teacher can use a question to model thinking and get a lively collaborative discussion going in minutes. These 65 questions are not only for teacher modeling and collaborative discussion but also for paired interaction, and for independent journal writing. They correlate with “I Do,” “We Do,” “You Do” and can be adapted as essential questions or “Ticket Out” tasks.
Post them anywhere in your room, or print the task cards for students to use in groups, in centers, or for independent writing. Several posters can be placed together on a board so that you can refer to them throughout the week. The matching task cards will help kids focus on key concepts you are emphasizing in class. Spiral notebooks work well for students’ written responses to these types of questions. They are able to refer to pieces they have written to review concepts and to monitor their progress in writing about reading.
Teacher read-alouds are important again in the reading classroom. They give the teacher the opportunity to model thinking aloud as the story is read. These reading posters will provide a print-rich environment for your students. Kids will make connections between their thinking and the questions. They will get better at responding about reading.
Literary devices cover literary elements, such as theme, plot, point of view, tone, mood, and characterization. Literary devices also cover literary techniques, such as imagery, word choices, rhythm, rhyme, inferred meaning, and figurative language. These posters will help keep momentum high as students think about reading connections.
Included are reading reward coupons. The rewards are intended for expanded thinking and reasoning and for demonstrating improved depth of knowledge each week.
Other products related to writing about reading are: Story Elements Posters and Task Cards, Comprehension Strategies Posters and Task Cards, Informational Text Posters and Task Cards, and Literary Nonfiction Posters and Task Cards.

Teacher read-alouds of non-fiction text is important in the reading classroom. Literary nonfiction (also referred to as narrative nonfiction) gives the teacher the opportunity to model thinking aloud about text structure and text features.
Literary non-fiction text for grades K-5 covers biography and autobiography. For grades 6-12 it broadens to include essays, speeches, and memoir. Questions here relate to making personal and textual connections, asking about content, accuracy, relevance, style, text structure and features. Literary nonfiction text relates literature by placing importance on description, sequence or time/order, compare/contrast, cause and effect, and problem/solution. These posters will help keep momentum high as students think about reading connections.
Included are reading reward coupons. The rewards are intended for expanded thinking and reasoning and for demonstrating improved depth of knowledge each week.
