I Have, Whoooo Has? Rounding Decimal Numbers

(0)
Students forget their learning when they are having fun! "I Have, Whoooo Has" is a fun game that can be used to practice a variety of skills. This rounding decimal numbers pack includes: • Three sets of 24 cards • Colored 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. • Black and white covers for those wanting to save colored ink. 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.

Flip for Math: Area Model Method for Multiplication Plus Jumbo Practice Cards

(0)
A step-by-step guide for using the Area Model Method for Multiplication! 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 three flip-books. • The first book features using the Area Model Method to multiplying a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number. • The second book practices using the Area Model method to multiply a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number. • The third book models how to multiply a 2-digit number by a 2-digit number using the Area Model Method. • 10 jumbo practice cards. Detailed jumbo answer key cards are also included. • Ready-made tabs which can be used to easily find each problem type in the flip book. To assemble simply run single-sided copies of both pages. Laminate for durability. 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!

This one page handout allows students to visualize how a gallon, quart, pint and cup all relate to each other. While there are several different visual representations for these customary capacity measurements, I have found that students can relate to this representation better than others.

Division Strategies: Partial Quotient Strategy Fold-Up & Practice

(0)
Perfect Partial Quotient resource for students and parents! Common Core stresses arming students with a variety of strategies to solve a problem. This includes division. I’ve spent countless hours trying to teach the long division algorithm to each and every student. The truth is, some kids JUST DON’T GET IT! Common Core gives the teacher permission to try teaching the concept using a different strategy. Amazingly, these struggling students seem to catch on fairly quickly to the Partial Quotient Strategy. Included in this packet is a one-fold fold-up. The cover gives a brief explanation of the partial quotient method. The inside gives two detailed examples. I have also included to 2-sided worksheet to use with students. Also, included is a detailed answer key. If you would like to see pictures of this product, please visit Mrs. B's Best Blog
Working with Factors and Multiples Fold-Ups and More!

Working with Factors and Multiples Fold-Ups and More!

(0)
Help your students understand how to work with multiples and factors! Until mastering what a factor and what a multiple is, a student is going to struggle to find the Least Common Multiple or the Greatest Common Factor. This realization is what prompted me to make this Working with Factors and Multiples pack. Included in this pack are 3 matchbook fold-ups. One of the fold-ups combines both factor and multiple. The other two fold-ups do not combine, but are set up to teach the vocabulary one at a time. Also included are practice pages. One 2-sided sheet combines practice on both factor and multiple. A second 2-sided practice sheet has factor only. And a final practice page focuses on multiple only. I also included instructions and pictures on how to assemble the matchbook fold-ups as well as how to copy the practice pages.

Fraction Attraction Pack: Add and Subtract Fractions with Unlike Denominators

(0)
Students tackle fractions with confidence while using Fraction Attraction resources! This packet contains: • A Matchbook Fold-Up which would fit well in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. The fold-up explains and demonstrates add (or subtract) fractions with unlike denominators. • A half-sheet handout. This handout contains the same information as the matchbook fold-up, just in a half-sheet format. I find the half-sheet works well as a quick reference sheet. In addition, many students like to take it home and share with their parents. • Two page worksheet. The worksheet provides an organized format which will help the student practice the skill. • A one-sided cut and paste worksheet. The cut and paste sheet is not as structured as the two page worksheet. I would suggest using this page once students have practiced the skill for some time. • Answer keys for all worksheets are also included.
