I am an educator in the state of Georgia. I have been in the education field for 14 years and in that time, I taught third grade for 10 years and 5th grade for 1. I am now in my fourth year as a curriculum/instructional specialist in our school. During my teaching career, I have received various awards including the Teacher of the Year for our School, the Teacher of the year for all elementary schools, and finally our system Teacher of the Year. I love what I do!

This is a FUN way for students to work on Common Core Math Standards (word problems: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division)!
Directions: Cut and laminate (if desired) all cards and pumpkins.
I like to either print them on card stock, or back them with construction paper.
Glue a pumpkin onto each card.
Pass out each student an answer/work sheet. Then, place the cards in the classroom or the hallway.
You can place them on chairs in your room, along the walls, on the board, on desks, etc.
I have always done this activity in the hallway. Students use a book or clip board and walk around in teams searching for the pumpkins and then working out each problem. Some classes have even done a full scale scavenger hunt around the school searching for them. Choose what works best for your school and class. I also tell my students that all partners/group members must show their work on the recording sheet.
Students have a blast and are still working hard on Common Core math with this activity.
All problems are aligned to Third Grade Common Core Standards.
ENJOY!

My third and fifth grade sets each contain many reviews and have been proven to be successful in the classroom.
100% Common Core Aligned
This unit is designed to correlate with the third grade common core standard MCC3.MD.2: (Can be adapted to other grade levels)
Measure and Estimate Liquid Volumes and Masses of Objects using standard units of grams, kilograms, and liters.
This is a 5 day unit in which each lesson contains an essential question, activating strategy, teaching strategy, summarizer, lesson resources, and more.
The unit also includes vocabulary posters, an assessment, and homework pages for each lesson. It is truly all you need to teach this standard.
Day One; Understanding Grams and Kilograms: Includes weighing items on a scale, understanding that a gram weighs about a paper clip and a kg is about the weight of a dictionary. Students will have practicing measuring grams.
Day Two: When to use grams and kilograms. This lesson focuses more on estimating how many grams and kilograms an item may be and when to use grams and when to use kilograms when measuring items. This lesson contains a set of 24 task cards, recording sheet, and answer sheet.
Day Three: Liters. Students will be introduced to liters and see how much liquid volume a liter contains. Students will decide if objects contain less than a liter, more than a liter, and about a liter.
Day Four: Word problems involving grams, kilograms, and liters. Students will solve word problems using these measurements. They will be asked to solve the problems using numbers, pictures, and words.
Day Five; Assessment. Students will be given an assessment on this standard.

For example, there will be four specific standards in language and four specific standards in math in each week. Every day will be a question for students to answer in regard to each standard.
The way it is used in my personal classroom is that we review the morning work together Mon-Thurs. On Friday, I will take them up. This gives me a wonderful idea a to which students have mastered or need work on each of the standards.
Friday’s morning work can either be used as a grade, or just as an observation to know where students are with each standard.
