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 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.

Students use the "M" method when finding the LCM! Each year my 5th grade students always confused Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor. In an effort to help them keep the two straight, I try to make the way I present one very different from the way I present the other. For LCM, I use what I call 'The M Method'. Using a large M as a visual greatly helps my students distinguish between LCM and GCF. I created this pack to introduce the method to my students. The pack includes a LCM matchbook fold-up. A poster, a half sheet copy of the poster for a student resource and a two page worksheet. This pack INCLUDES the Least Common Multiple Poster, which is listed separately in my shop. If you buy this, there is no need to purchase the visual. To learn how to print a poster visit my Making Posters blog post. When assembling the matchbook fold-up, run a two-sided copy--the front cover (upside down intentionally for easier copying) and the inside. With the inside facing you, bring the top of the paper down to the bottom horizontal line and fold. Then bring the bottom of the paper up and fold on the bottom horizontal line. The result will look like a giant matchbook.

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.

Students tackle fractions with confidence while using Fraction Attraction resources! This packet contains: • Fold-up One explains and shows an example of how to divide a whole number by a fraction, how to divide two fractions, and how to divide mixed numbers. • Fold-up Two explains what a reciprocal fraction is and how to write a reciprocal fraction. • Fold-up Three explains how to change an improper fraction to a mixed number. • 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. For information on how to make posters be sure to visit my blog post. • Four one-sided worksheets designed to help students practice the various types of dividing fractions problem types. • A cut and paste page to practice reciprocal fractions. • Answer keys for all worksheets are also included.

Students master customary measurements! Converting Customary Measures can be challenging for many students. I created this packet with those students in mind. Included in this packet are two fold-ups. The first fold-up is a tri-fold fold-up which when assembled lists the basic conversions for customary length, capacity and weight. The second fold-out is a matchbook fold-up. This fold-up explains how to make conversions between two measurements. Two examples are also give. A 2-sided practice page is also included. The questions on the practice page are written is such a way that requires the students to show their thinking while solving the problem. An answer key is provided. I also included two pages of pictures and instructions on how to assemble the fold-outs. These materials are aligned to Common Core Standards required for 5th grade.

"I Have, Whoooo Has" is a fun game that can be used to practice a variety of skills. This pack includes THREE sets, all designed to practice the multiplication pattern of multiplying by multiples of 10. A sample equation might be: Whoooo has...50 x 6,000? or Whoooo has...1,000 x 1,000? Students should understand that to solve they multiply the basic fact then add the number of zeros in the original equation. They should also understand that each 0 in the original equation increases the product ten times--that's why adding the same number of zeros to the product that were in the original product works! Each set includes 24 cards. Also included are card covers. I usually run a cover on the backside of each card. This allows me to easily keep sets together and not mixed up. Plus, it adds some color to the game. If colored printer ink is at a premium, you can choose to run the black and white cover instead. Again, this will allow you to keep the cards in the proper set. You can play this game whole class by distributing cards to all students. Note that some students may have more than one card. Next, the teacher prompts the student that has the first card to start by reading their card. Students will have to determine the next number in the sequence. Whichever student has the card with the correct answer will read theirs. And so on. The game continues until the last student reads their card, "I have the last card!" Another alternative to playing whole class is to play it with small groups of students. The process would work the same way, however each student would have multiple cards. I like playing it this way even better, because it really keeps the players on their toes. So, in my room, this is usually an activity that groups of 6 or 8 play. Now, since you have 3 sets with this purchase, you could have three groups of 8 playing at once in your room. As I said, if a player has multiple cards, they have to be paying attention. Let’s face it we all know that many students will be less attentive once they have read their card. In addition to this product, the following products on this topic are available at my store: Zero Can Be Your Hero - Multiplication Patterns with Multiples of 10, 100, 1000 and The Early Bird Task Cards for Multiplication Patterns with Multiples of Ten

"I Have, Whoooo Has" is a fun game that can be used to practice a variety of skills. This pack includes THREE sets, all designed to practice the division pattern of multiplying by multiples of 10. A sample equation might be: Whoooo has...2,500 divided by 5? or Whoooo has...10,000 x 1,000? Students should understand that to solve they divide the basic fact then add then subtract the number of zeros in the original equation. Don't worry, I have included a poster in the packet that demonstrates how I teach the topic. Each set includes 24 cards. Also included are card covers. I usually run a cover on the backside of each card. This allows me to easily keep sets together and not mixed up. Plus, it adds some color to the game.

This set contains 24 task cards designed to practice conversions and comparing customary measures for weight, length and capacity. Also included is a student recording sheet and an answer key. I use task cards in a variety of ways. The most popular is for students who finish their work early--aka...Early Birds. While I currently have the task cards in a tub on the cabinet, I would like to create a bulletin board next year and ‘hang’ the cards on the board. With this in mind, I started thinking that it would be nice to have a ‘title card’. This ‘title card’ would identify the topic of the task card set and provide a nicer visual for the display. So...I created a page with a ‘cover card’. Now, not being one to waste paper, I just knew there had to be something I could create for the remaining space on this newly created cover card sheet. This leads me to the second way I use the task cards...a little game I like to call “Tweet-Tweet”. Several times a month, we play “Tweet-Tweet”. Tweet-Tweet involves placing a task card on each student’s desk. Then students, with recording sheet in hand, move around the room solving the problem on each card on each desk. I announce a predetermined time they are allowed at each desk. This, of course depends on the complexity of the problems being solved. When all my students are in class, 27 total, I am actually a few cards short. So, I make several desks (3 to be exact!) ‘break desks’. When a student rotates to a ‘break desk’, they get to do just that...take a break. Even if you have 24 or fewer students, you could still incorporate a break desk or two into “Tweet-Tweet”. Instead of using 24 task cards, use 22 and 2 break cards. So, in addition to the ‘cover card’, you guessed it...I created 3 ‘official’ break cards. I would recommend printing task cards and answer key on white card stock and then laminating for durability.

This set contains 24 task cards designed to practice calculating area, perimeter and volume. Also included is an explanation sheet with information on how I use task cards in my class, a cover card for the task cards, 'break' cards, a recording sheet and an answer key.
