Flip for Math: Step-By Step Prime Factorization

(0)
A step-by-step guide for finding the Prime Factorization of a given number! 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 a 2-in-1 flip-book. • The first flip-book section provides definitions. • The first section shows how to find prime factors using the Birthday Cake Method. • The third section shows how to find prime factors using the Tree Method. • Ready-made file tabs which can be used to divide each section. • Two separate covers, so each method could be an individual book.

Brighten your classroom library!

This set now includes blank labels that can be customized. These pages open as Power Point slides. Simply insert a text box and type any text you choose. All Materials were created using a Black and White Polka Dot with Lime Accents Theme. This set includes: •Genre Posters: One poster for each genre. Each poster contains a definition and several titles from the genre. •Genre Labels: One set of 4.25”x 3.5” genre labels for book tubs or bookshelves. •Book Label Code Sheet Poster: One poster that serves as the ‘key’ for the book spine labels. •Book Spine Labels: One sheet of sixty book spine labels for each genre. These labels work with Avery Return Address Labels (60 per page).

Personally, I prefer to leave the posters a standard 8.5 x 11 size. My thinking is that I don't need someone to be able to read them from across the room. Instead I want them to be a resource students can use when browsing the library. Therefore, a standard size is perfect. The posters, however, can be enlarged. For directions how to make posters using your printer, read my blog post on the topic.

Using Benchmark Decimals to Estimate Sums and Differences Foldable & More

Using Benchmark Decimals to Estimate Sums and Differences Foldable & More

(0)
Use Benchmark Decimals to Estimate Sums and Differences! Decimal benchmarks are decimals that are easily recognizable and include the 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1. Students are asked to round decimals to the nearest benchmark decimal (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1) and then add or subtract the 'rounded' decimal. To aid students in this process, I created a benchmark decimal number line. This number line allows students to 'see' which benchmark they should round to. This product includes: • Tri-fold fold up which would work well in a math journal. The tri-fold up has a front cover and an inside. It contains a number line, definitions and two examples. *Be sure to run a test copy to make sure it folds up properly. The outside cover is intentionally upside down for easier copying. • Large front and back explanation sheet. This sheet is really just a large version of the fold-up. The examples given, however, are different. This sheet also provides slightly more detail on the process. • Sheet containing the parts to make a 'jumbo' decimal benchmark number line...this could be stored in the 'tools' pocket of a math journal. Also included on this page is a 'mini' decimal benchmark number line...this could be taped on a child's desktop or glued into a math journal. • Two-sided practice sheet which contains both decimal addition and subtraction problems. The directions ask students to round to the nearest benchmark decimal and then solve. • Answer key for two-sided worksheet.

Flip for Math: Using Compatible Numbers to Estimate Division

Knowing how to use Compatible Numbers is very helpful when tackling a long division problem! 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 a 3-part flip-book that focuses on using compatible numbers to estimate division . • In the first section, the definition and examples of compatible numbers are given. Also, in the first section is a step-by-step guide for using compatible numbers to estimate division problems with a single-digit divisor. • The second section, shows how to use compatible numbers to estimate division problems with a double-digit divisor. • The third section, demonstrates how compatible numbers can be used to ‘jump-start’ the solving of a double-digit division problem. • Also included is a 2-sided practice page. Answer key is also provided.

This packet contains a ‘four-in-one’ flip-book. • Section 1 provides a step-by-step guide for dividing a fraction by a whole number. • Section 2 covers how to divide a whole number by a fraction. • Section 3 demonstrates how to divide two fractions. • Section 4 focuses on how to divide mixed numbers. • Ready-made index tabs for marking each of the four sections. I intentionally chose to combine all four types of problems into one flip book, as I feel it is important that students be able to identify which type of problem they are trying to solve and then turn to that desired section.

Working with Decimals - Fold-Ups Galore

(1)
FOUR fold-ups for one GREAT price! This packet contains four different decimal fold-ups. Each fold-up is designed to fit perfectly in a math journal or be used as a stand alone resource. • The first fold-up divides adding and subtracting decimals into an easy to follow three step process. Run front cover on one side of paper and inside steps on other side. Trim on grey line for a nice fit in any math journal. • Fold-up number two is a half sheet, two-flap fold-up that shows multiplying decimals in two easy steps. Two fold-ups per sheet. Again, run cover on one side of paper and inside on the other side. Note that the cover is upside down for easier assembly. • Fold-up number three shows three types of division with decimals: Dividing a decimal by a whole number, dividing a decimal number by a decimal number and finally, dividing a whole number by a decimal. Don't teach all three? Just cut away the type you don't want. Think all three in one fold-up is too much for your students? Cut all three apart and present one at a time. Run cover and inside as described above. Trim on grey line for a nicer fit in a math journal. • The fourth (and final) decimal 3 flap fold-up, explains rounding decimals, comparing decimals and converting a decimal to a percent. Run copies as stated above. Trim on grey line for a nicer fit in a math journal. As always, I recommend you run a test copy just to make sure you have the front and back on right and the fold-up folds up correctly.

Canceling to Multiply Fractions - "Cross-Eyed Method" Fold-Up and Practice Pages

(0)
Students love the silly name! After teaching my students how to multiply and divide fractions, I have students practice both skills until they have them mastered. Over the course of this process, students experience how unappealing multiplying larger numerators and denominators can be...not to mention how tedious reducing ‘large’ fractions to lowest terms can be. This product also contains a 2-sided practice page as well as answer keys. Once the above has been accomplished, I share what I like to call “The Cross-Eyed Method”. Most textbooks call this "Canceling before Multiplying Fractions". Essentially this method reduces the fractions before multiplying. Therefore, not only are the numbers you multiply smaller, but if done completely your final answer will be in lowest terms! This packet contains the materials needed to introduce the “Cross-Eyed Method” as well as practice the method. • The first product is a matchbook fold-up. This fold-up explains how the method works and gives several examples. This would be a great resource for a math journal. Pictures of assembled fold-up is included. • The second product in this packet is a ‘quirky’ fold-up that allows the students to practice the ‘cross-eyed’ method. This fold-up includes a front, inside and practice problems cards. I have included several pictures, as well directions, on assembly and use of the this product.

Multiplication Patterns with Decimals Fold-Up and More

(0)
Students discover patterns make learning fun! This packet contains a tri-fold-up which would fit well in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. The fold-up explains the rule for multiplying decimals by powers of 10. It also shows two examples of completed multiplication pattern problems. Note that the cover is intentionally upside down, this should make for easier printing. I do, however, recommend that you run a test copy to make sure everything folds up correctly. To fold a trifold-up, run the cover upside down and the inside right side up. With the inside facing you, bring the bottom up to the upper horizontal line and fold. Finally, bring the top down to the fold you just made and fold. The end result should look like a ‘horizontal’ brochure. Also, included is a half-sheet handout. This handout contains the same information as the trifold-out, 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 the skill with their parents. You will also find a two page worksheet. The worksheets will help the student practice the skill. The front side has the problems grouped as ‘pattern equations’. The back side has random problems which can have the pattern applied to. I broke the backside up into two groups of 16 problems. My thought was that a teacher may want to have the students complete the back in two separate settings. An answer key is also provided.
