For students who are either just getting started with the long division process or with students who are struggling with the process. The example shows a double digit dividend being divided by a single digit divisor. The final answer does have a remainder. The fold-up breaks the process down into six steps: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down (repeat if needed), remainder and check. The steps are listed and a visual representation is shown. The fold-up will fit nicely in a math journal (just trim on the grey line for a better fit). In addition, I decided to create a one page handout (handout is the one without the dotted cut lines) of the steps. My thinking is that this particular information might be a better resource without the flaps.

Students have fun multiplying with this method! I am always looking for a variety of different strategies my students can use to solve a multiplication problem. One of those ways is the Lattice Method (aka: Gelosia Method). I am currently teaching this method to my students and they LOVE it! I created this 5 page packet to use with my students. The packet includes a 1 page handout that lists the steps, a 2 page fold-up that can be inserted in a math journal, and a two page worksheet. The single page handout works great as a stand alone resource or could easily be made into a poster. For directions on how to make a poster visit my blog post on making posters.

A step-by-step guide for Multiplying Decimals The purpose of a ‘We Flip for Math’ Flip Book, is to provide a struggling student witha 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. • The first section provides a step-by-step guide for multiplying ‘easy’ decimal numbers (2 digit by a 1 digit number). • The second section features how to multiply ‘medium’ decimals numbers (3 digit by a 1 digit number). • A third section provides the step-by-step guide for multiplying ‘big’ decimal numbers (4 digit by a 3 digit number). • This product also includes a 2-sided practice page to practice the skill. An answer key for the practice page is also included.

Help students distinguish types of fractions! This foldable features four types of fractions: Improper Fractions, Proper Fractions, Equivalent Fractions & Mixed Numbers. It works well in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. Each type is defined and an example is shown. This foldable can be run with all labels on. All your students need to do is cut, fold and glue. Or, you can run a blank template and a 'parts' page and allow your students to assemble. Still another choice would be to run just the cover and have students glue inside parts in or vice versa. It's really up to the teacher. If you don't teach all four types or if you'd prefer to teach them one at a time, simply cut the four types apart and present each type one at a time! I try to make my foldables as versatile as possible. When running copies, be sure to do a test print to make sure the front cover and inside are copied properly and fold up right.

Students love fold-ups! This product includes: • A six flap fold-up that classifies triangles by their angles (right, acute and obtuse) and by the length of their sides (equilateral, isosceles and scalene). A definition and a visual representation is given of each. • This product also includes two 2-sided practice pages and answer keys. 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.

Students learn about composite and prime numbers! This fold-up gives the definitions for both Composite and Prime Numbers. It also includes an example of each. The fold-up is a half sheet two-flap resource that would fit well in a math journal or stand alone. A second inside page option is also included. This inside has a definition for both prime and composite numbers that does not use the word divide but factor instead. I have chosen to include this second option, not because the first set of definitions was incorrect, but because some teachers may prefer using the word 'factor' instead of divide. Also, included is a double-sided worksheet that requires students to list factors for a given number and then check if the number is composite or prime. An answer key is also included.

Give your students the tools they need for tackling long division The new Common Core Standards for Math prompted me to create this Decomposing the Dividend Strategy pack for use with students and with parents. The Decomposing the Dividend Strategy encourages students to break the dividend into parts that can be divided easily. The long-term goal of this method is for students to solve the division problem mentally. In my experience, it will take a great deal of practice before students will master the ability to solve the problem mentally using this method. I have found that many higher achieving math students will pick up on the strategy and choose to use it. This packet contains: • A tri-fold fold-up (front and back) that shows how the strategy works. It would make a wonderful resource for both students and parents. • A 2-sided practice page as well as a detailed answer key.

Perfect for a math journal! This matchbook foldable focuses on intersecting, parallel and perpendicular lines. A definition and a visual representation is given of each. To assemble a matchbook foldable, make a two sided copy (cover on one side and inside on the other). While looking at the inside, bring the top down to the bottom horizontal line and fold. Then bring the bottom up, folding on the bottom horizontal line. The finished product will look like a giant matchbook. I would cut the three line types apart (on dotted line) after the folding is complete. 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.
