Perfect resource for a math journal!
This fold-up gives students a basic understanding of powers of ten and exponents. It will serve as a valuable resource students can use throughout the school year. Also included with this product is a 2-sided practice page along with answer keys.
The purchaser has two options with this packet. If time is an issue, you may want to use the ready made fold-up. Just print it out, cut in a few places and it is ready to go. Or if you prefer have your students assemble the fold-up by cutting and gluing each piece to the blank fold-up template.
Some may be even more creative and use the cut apart page to make a matching game, take home activity, etc.
If using the fold-up in a math journal, cut on the gray lower line for easier fit.

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 student is able to multiply decimals 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 decimals. The skills reviewed are aligned to the 5th grade Common Core Standards.
This Review Every Day includes the following Number & Place Value skills: Identifying place value, numbers in standard form, numbers in expanded form, numbers in word form, ordering numbers by value, comparing numbers, and rounding numbers. 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.

"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 math skill - Changing mixed numbers to improper fraction and improper fractions to mixed numbers. Note: Set three does require some fractions be simplified to caluculate the final answer.
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.
"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 math skill - Powers of Ten and Exponents. Example of typical questions -- Whoooo Has the fifth power of ten? I have 100,000 or Whooo has 4 times the second power of ten? I have 400.

A step-by-step guide designed to guide your students through the steps of 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 multiplying a 3-digit number by a single digit.
• The second book practices multiplying a 2-digit number by a 2-digit number.
• The third book models how to multiply a 3-digit number by a 3-digit number.
The purchaser has two assembly options. You can make three separate flip books or combine all three problem types into one book. Individual covers are provided as well as a fourth cover that would be used if the three books are combined. Also, included are ready-made tabs which could be used to easily find each problem type in a combined 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!

Help you students master metric measures!
Converting Metric 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 metric measures for length, capacity and mass.
The second fold-up is a matchbook fold-up. This fold-up explains how to make conversions between two metric 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.

Great strategy for those struggling with division!
My 5th grade students really struggle with the concept of estimating to divide. When you throw in the terminology of 'compatible numbers' it seems to get even more confusing.
I created this tri-fold-up for their math journals to help guide them through the process of using compatible numbers to estimate the quotient. This fold-up defines what a compatible number is and shows examples.
To practice the skill, I have included a two-sided worksheet. This worksheet will allow students the opportunity to practice for success.. Answer key with possible answers is included.
