A step-by-step guide for using the Lattice Method for Multiplying! 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.

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! Just a bit about the Lattice Method ~ Teaching the Lattice Method for Multiplication to my 5th grade students has proven to be very worthwhile. While not every student will choose to use this strategy, I do find that an amazing number of students will. This was proven during state testing--time and time again, I saw lattice grids on the scrap paper they were allowed to use. Once students become proficient with the process, they will find that they can solve a multiplication problem faster than they would using the traditional method. And, even more important, their answers are correct! This packet contains three flip-books. • The first book features using the Lattice method to multiplying a 2-digit number by a 2-digit number. • The second book practices using the Lattice method to multiply a 3-digit number by a 2-digit number. • The third book models how to multiply a 3-digit number by a 3-digit number using the Lattice Method. • 10 jumbo practice cards. Detailed jumbo answer key cards are also included. • Ready-made tabs which could be used to easily find each problem type in a combined book. 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. Ready-made tabs which could be used to easily find each problem type in a combined book.

I Have, Whoooo Has? Add and Subtract Integers

(0)
"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 adding and subtracting integers (to see examples of types of questions asked take a look at the preview page). I have found that having a deep understanding of multiplying and dividing by powers of ten is critical to mastering the metric system which is usually introduced later in the school year. Laying the groundwork early with this type of practice, makes the metric system so much easier for all students. 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.

Statistics (Mean, Mode, Range, etc.) - R.E.D. (Review Every Day)

(0)
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 find the median of a number set, 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, R.E.D., Review Every Day, was born. This packet contains 28 quick review half sheets focused on statistics. All statistics skills are practiced: Minimum value, maximum value, median, range, mode and mean. Most reviews have 12 questions. Beginning with Review 14, every other lesson requires students to gather data from a graph or table. Students are required to use the data gathered to calculate various statistics. 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.

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 flip book product shows students the step-by-step process for using the 'short' division method to divide. NOTE--The 'short' division method is designed to be used when dividing by a single-digit divisor. There are no examples of how to use this method with multiple-digit divisors. This method is not easily used with multiple-digit divisors and not recommended. If you are wanting a product that demonstrates how to divide using multiple-digit divisors, this is NOT the product for you :) This packet contains a ‘three-in-one’ flip-book. • Section 1 provides a step-by-step guide for using 'short' division to divide small numbers by a single-digit divisor. • Section 2 covers how to use the 'short' division method to divide larger numbers by a single digit. • Section 3 demonstrates how to use the 'short' division method to divide numbers with remainders by a single-digit. • Ready-made index tabs for marking each of the four sections.

This product contains two complete flip books. One uses the term PEMDAS with the 'P' referring to parentheses. The second flip book uses the term GEMDAS with the 'G' referring to grouping symbols. Each flip-book is a ‘multiple-section’ flip-book. • The first flip-book section provides definitions. • The second flip-book section provides four examples. • The third flip-book section defines additional grouping symbols. • Ready-made file tabs which can be used to divide each section. • A single page Order of Operations flowchart. This chart can be used when students are first learning the Order of Operations rules. I recommend laminating and allowing students to write directly on the flow-chart for added fun!
