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.

Students can refer to this handout/poster when finding the Least Common Multiple of two numbers. You can print out and distribute page to students or chose to enlarge when printing to make a poster. Note that if you chose to enlarge in the print menu, some assembly will be required. For instructions on how to enlarge, visit my blog post: http://mrsbsbest.blogspot.com/2012/08/making-posters.html

"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 multiplication and division math facts. Please take a look at the preview page to see the types of questions asked. 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.

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.

Give students the review they need to master the skill! If there is one thing I have learned since I began teaching math to 5th graders 10 years ago, it is that students must practice a skill repeatedly. Just because a students is able to convert gallons to quarts for the chapter test, does not mean they will remember the skill a month later. With this in mind, each day I set aside a portion of time to practice previously taught skills. From this practice, RED, Review Every Day, was born. This packet contains 28 quick review half sheets focused on measurement. The skills reviewed are aligned to the 5th grade Common Core Standards. All 5th grade measurement skills are practiced: customary units of measure, metric measures, comparing, conversions, problem solving, and elapsed time. Each review has anywhere from 8 to 12 questions and progresses from the easiest to the more difficult skills. Please note that this packet does NOT teach the skill, but only serves to review the skill after you have taught it to the students. Each review has anywhere from 8 to 12 questions. In my classroom I spread the 28 lessons out and usually do not use them one day after another. I have other RED lessons that I would mix and match. So, for instance, Monday might be Fractions 1 and Tuesday might be Decimals 1. By Friday, I may be ready to use Fractions 2. Each review is a half-sheet. Lesson 1 and Lesson 3 are on page 1. Lesson 2 and Lesson 4 are on page 2. I do this intentionally. If you run page 1 on the front and page 2 on the back and then cut the sheet in half, you will have Fractions 1 on the front and Fractions 2 on the back. The entire document is set up this way. This saves paper, and allows the teacher to teach the lessons in order and in a more efficient way. At the back of the packet you will find the answer key which provides the answers to all questions.

This set contains 24 task cards designed to practice completing arithmetic and geometric sequences.

The Early Bird Learns! This set contains: • 24 task cards for adding and subtracting fraction with unlike denominators. Skills needed include finding a common denominator, writing equivalent fractions, adding or subtracting fractions and writing a fraction in lowest terms. • 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: • 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.

This product contains 7 Properties of Math Classroom Posters: Associative Property of Multiplication, Associative Property of Addition, Commutative Property of Multiplication, Commutative Property of Addition, Identity Property of Multiplication, Identity Property of Addition and Distributive Property. Each poster is labeled with the Property, has a definition and an example. The posters are all created with the paper layout on landscape. You can run the posters on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Or you can enlarge them. For directions on how to make larger posters read my blog post on the subject. If you like the Black and White Polka Dot with Red Accents theme, be sure to check out my store for other classroom poster kits in the same color combination!

Get Goofy with Goofy Gorilla! This Goofy Gorilla card game allows students to practice the skill of determining a missing measurement in an area equation in the classic ‘Old Maid’ game format. In addition, the cards could be used to play the classic game of “Concentration”--just remove the “Goofy Gorilla” card. The set contains a total of twenty-seven pairs of cards. Check out the preview page to see they types of equations on the cards . Also, included is the “Goofy Gorilla” card (my version of the ‘Old Maid’) and an instruction card.

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.

his set contains 24 task cards 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. The Early Bird Learns! This set contains: • 24 task cards designed to practice solving two step linear equations. A task card might read-- Solve for t -- 2t + 1 = 5. Or, solve for f -- 14 = 9f - 4. • 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.

"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.

Fold-up a whole lot of fun! This six flap fold-up examines six different three dimensional figures: Cone, Cube, Sphere, Prism, Cylinder and Pyramid A definition and a visual representation is given of each. Always make a test copy before copying for your students to make sure the cover and inside fold up properly. Note that the cover is intentionally upside down for easier printing.

This packet contains 12 posters. Each poster shows a step in solving a two-digit divisor long division problem using the traditional algorithm. A teacher may choose to use the pages as is or you may enlarge the pages to a poster size. I have taken files to a local print shop and had them enlarge with success. There is, however, a cheaper way, to achieve poster size pages from a regular printer. Directions are given on how this can be done with the product.
