Use Benchmark Decimals to Estimate Sums and Differences! Decimal benchmarks are decimals that are easily recognizable and include the 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1. Students are asked to round decimals to the nearest benchmark decimal (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1) and then add or subtract the 'rounded' decimal. To aid students in this process, I created a benchmark decimal number line. This number line allows students to 'see' which benchmark they should round to. This product includes: • Tri-fold fold up which would work well in a math journal. The tri-fold up has a front cover and an inside. It contains a number line, definitions and two examples. *Be sure to run a test copy to make sure it folds up properly. The outside cover is intentionally upside down for easier copying. • Large front and back explanation sheet. This sheet is really just a large version of the fold-up. The examples given, however, are different. This sheet also provides slightly more detail on the process. • Sheet containing the parts to make a 'jumbo' decimal benchmark number line...this could be stored in the 'tools' pocket of a math journal. Also included on this page is a 'mini' decimal benchmark number line...this could be taped on a child's desktop or glued into a math journal. • Two-sided practice sheet which contains both decimal addition and subtraction problems. The directions ask students to round to the nearest benchmark decimal and then solve. • Answer key for two-sided worksheet.

Knowing how to use Compatible Numbers is very helpful when tackling a long division problem! The purpose of a ‘We Flip for Math’ Flip Book, is to provide a struggling student with a step-by-step guide to take them through the process they are struggling with. I have various flip books available in my classroom, but only after I’ve taught the concept and we have practiced it a number of times. The complexity of some skills can be quite challenging for many students. Being able to remember all the steps can become overwhelming for some. A flip-book can help walk these children through the process. In addition, I have found flip-books can be helpful when sending homework home . Including a flip book can make for very happy parents! This packet contains a 3-part flip-book that focuses on using compatible numbers to estimate division . • In the first section, the definition and examples of compatible numbers are given. Also, in the first section is a step-by-step guide for using compatible numbers to estimate division problems with a single-digit divisor. • The second section, shows how to use compatible numbers to estimate division problems with a double-digit divisor. • The third section, demonstrates how compatible numbers can be used to ‘jump-start’ the solving of a double-digit division problem. • Also included is a 2-sided practice page. Answer key is also provided.

A step-by-step guide for dividing fractions!

A flip-book can help walk these children through the process. In addition, I have found flip-books can be helpful when sending homework home . Including a flip book can make for very happy parents! This packet contains a ‘four-in-one’ flip-book. • Section 1 provides a step-by-step guide for dividing a fraction by a whole number. • Section 2 covers how to divide a whole number by a fraction. • Section 3 demonstrates how to divide two fractions. • Section 4 focuses on how to divide mixed numbers. • Ready-made index tabs for marking each of the four sections. I intentionally chose to combine all four types of problems into one flip book, as I feel it is important that students be able to identify which type of problem they are trying to solve and then turn to that desired section.

FOUR fold-ups for one GREAT price! This packet contains four different decimal fold-ups. Each fold-up is designed to fit perfectly in a math journal or be used as a stand alone resource. • The first fold-up divides adding and subtracting decimals into an easy to follow three step process. Run front cover on one side of paper and inside steps on other side. Trim on grey line for a nice fit in any math journal. • Fold-up number two is a half sheet, two-flap fold-up that shows multiplying decimals in two easy steps. Two fold-ups per sheet. Again, run cover on one side of paper and inside on the other side. Note that the cover is upside down for easier assembly. • Fold-up number three shows three types of division with decimals: Dividing a decimal by a whole number, dividing a decimal number by a decimal number and finally, dividing a whole number by a decimal. Don't teach all three? Just cut away the type you don't want. Think all three in one fold-up is too much for your students? Cut all three apart and present one at a time. Run cover and inside as described above. Trim on grey line for a nicer fit in a math journal. • The fourth (and final) decimal 3 flap fold-up, explains rounding decimals, comparing decimals and converting a decimal to a percent. Run copies as stated above. Trim on grey line for a nicer fit in a math journal. As always, I recommend you run a test copy just to make sure you have the front and back on right and the fold-up folds up correctly.

Students love the silly name! After teaching my students how to multiply and divide fractions, I have students practice both skills until they have them mastered. Over the course of this process, students experience how unappealing multiplying larger numerators and denominators can be...not to mention how tedious reducing ‘large’ fractions to lowest terms can be. This product also contains a 2-sided practice page as well as answer keys. Once the above has been accomplished, I share what I like to call “The Cross-Eyed Method”. Most textbooks call this "Canceling before Multiplying Fractions". Essentially this method reduces the fractions before multiplying. Therefore, not only are the numbers you multiply smaller, but if done completely your final answer will be in lowest terms! This packet contains the materials needed to introduce the “Cross-Eyed Method” as well as practice the method. • The first product is a matchbook fold-up. This fold-up explains how the method works and gives several examples. This would be a great resource for a math journal. Pictures of assembled fold-up is included. • The second product in this packet is a ‘quirky’ fold-up that allows the students to practice the ‘cross-eyed’ method. This fold-up includes a front, inside and practice problems cards. I have included several pictures, as well directions, on assembly and use of the this product.

Students discover patterns make learning fun! This packet contains a tri-fold-up which would fit well in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. The fold-up explains the rule for multiplying decimals by powers of 10. It also shows two examples of completed multiplication pattern problems. Note that the cover is intentionally upside down, this should make for easier printing. I do, however, recommend that you run a test copy to make sure everything folds up correctly. To fold a trifold-up, run the cover upside down and the inside right side up. With the inside facing you, bring the bottom up to the upper horizontal line and fold. Finally, bring the top down to the fold you just made and fold. The end result should look like a ‘horizontal’ brochure. Also, included is a half-sheet handout. This handout contains the same information as the trifold-out, just in a different format. I find the half-sheet works well as a reference sheet. Many students like to take it home and share the skill with their parents. You will also find a two page worksheet. The worksheets will help the student practice the skill. The front side has the problems grouped as ‘pattern equations’. The back side has random problems which can have the pattern applied to. I broke the backside up into two groups of 16 problems. My thought was that a teacher may want to have the students complete the back in two separate settings. An answer key is also provided.

Students tackle fractions with confidence while using Fraction Attraction resources! This packet contains: • A 3-Step Fold-Up which would fit well in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. The fold-Up explains and demonstrates how to use the greatest common factor to reduce a fraction to lowest term. • To assemble a 3-Step Fold-Up, run the cover on one side of a paper and the inside of the fold-up on the other side. Next, trim the copies on the lower grey line found on the bottom of both sides of the fold-up. Then, with the inside face-up, fold the paper vertically down the center. Next, have students cut on the dotted lines. The fold-up is now ready to use! • A half-sheet handout. This handout contains the same information as the 3-Step Fold-Up, just in a different format. I find the half-sheet works well as a reference sheet. Many students like to take it home and share with their parents. • A two-sided worksheet. The worksheet provides an organized format which will help the student practice the skill. • A one-sided cut and paste worksheet is also included. This worksheet is not as step by step as the two-sided worksheet. I would recommend this worksheet be used as a follow-up as a way to review after the skill has been learned. • Answer keys for all worksheets are also included.

Long division is extremely challenging for most students and just when they seem to be getting the hang of it, they are asked to divide bigger and bigger numbers by two or more digit divisors. I have found that if the students can just get past the first step of determining how many times the divisor goes into part of the dividend, they can usually solve the equation. This past year, I began teaching my students how to use compatible numbers to help them determine a starting point for how many times one number goes into another. I have to say it seems to have helped many. Note, you will have to practice this skill in isolation for a period of time before the kids will really get the hang of it. I typically, give the students a page or two of these type of division problems. I then have them show me the compatible numbers and complete just the first step of each problem. I find this shows me who gets it and who doesn't...plus it helps build a student's confidence! This product is a tri-fold fold-out. Run the cover up-side down on one side and the inside, right side up on the other side. To fold, lay the paper with inside face up. Bring the bottom of the page up to the upper horizontal line and fold. Next, bring the top down to the bottom fold and fold. When finished it should resemble a brochure.

Hands-on resource they will use time and time again! This fold-up includes definitions and examples of minimum and maximum value, mean, mode, median and range. It will fit perfectly in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. When I create a new fold-up, I try to imagine all the possible ways a classroom teacher may want to use it. This fold-up has a number of possibilities. 1) You can choose to run a complete fold-up. The fold-up will have words on the outside and definitions and an example inside. 2) A complete fold-up, but you could choose to only have definitions on the inside (perhaps both definitions and example is too 'busy' for you students). 3) You can have the students assemble either of the two fold-up types mentioned above--just run the appropriate template for them to glue the parts on. 4) Run the cover only and have the students glue the inside in appropriately...or vice-vers-a. I also included two 'squares' of information on how to find the median when you have two middle numbers and what to do when you figure that median and have remainder 1. If you do run a complete fold-up, be sure to do a trial print to make sure the front and inside fold up correctly.

This packet contains two flip-books. • Adding fractions with with unlike denominators. • Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. To assemble simply run single-sided copies of both pages. Laminate for durabillity. Cut on the dotted line. Put the pages in sequential order--cover should be on top. Bind or staple (binding works best) across the top!

Help students and parents understand the distributive property! The new Common Core Standards promote teaching students a variety of ways to solve a problem. Using the various properties of math are utilized a great deal. Most of my students catch on to the Communative, Associative, etc. But the Distributive really causes a great deal of frustration. I created this tri-fold handout for my students to use as a resource they can refer to when asked to use the Distributive Property. The original handout has two different type of problems: Example One and Example Two. I have taught my 5th graders both. It, however, dawned on me that not all teachers may want to delve into Example Two since it is a bit more in depth. So, I created two covers for this handout: One which includes both examples and a second that separates the two examples. This allows the teacher to only teach one or the other or perhaps teach them at different times. The covers are upside-down for easier front and back copying for the tri-fold finished product. Please visit my blog post for additional pictures of this handout and instructions on how to use the fold-up.

Students tackle fractions with confidence while using Fraction Attraction resources! This packet contains: • A Fold-up which would fit well in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. The fold-up explains and gives an example of three different strategies that can be used to examine fractions. Once one of these strategies is used, fractions can be compared or ordered. • A full-sheet handout. This handout contains the same information as the fold-up, just in a full-sheet format. I find this format works well as a quick reference sheet. In addition, many students like to take it home and share with their parents. This page could also be made into a poster. • A two page worksheet. The worksheet focuses on comparing two fractions. Students are provided a workspace for each problem. Students are also asked to indicate which strategy they chose to use to solve the problem. • A one-sided cut and paste worksheet is also included. The cut and paste sheet focuses on ordering three fractions from least to greatest. • Answer keys for all worksheets are also included.

The Early Bird Learns! This set contains: • 24 task cards designed to practice writing numerical expressions. The first 12 cards in the set, are one-step numerical expressions. The second 12 cards, cards 13-24, focus on two-step numerical expressions. When I write a numerical expression story, I do not include a question. For instance, the story on the task card might read, “Sally had 23 crayons. She lost 13.” I do not include “How many crayons are left”. I do this for several reasons: First, I write my stories the way students are tested on our state test. Second, I want the students to focus on writing the expression and not the answer. Therefore, the above story written as a numerical expression would be “23 - 13”. I am only looking for the expression that matches the words...no equal sign...no answer...just the expression. If this does not suit your needs, then this set may not be for your students. • Title task card. • 3 take a break cards. • A student recording sheet (color and black and white). • Answer key. I would recommend printing task cards and answer key on white card stock and then laminating for durability.
