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.

Flip for Math: Lattice Method Multiplication Plus Jumbo Practice Cards

(0)
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. 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! 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.
