Students tackle fractions with confidence while using Fraction Attraction resources! This packet contains: • Fold-up One explains and shows an example of how to multiply a whole number by a fraction, how to multiply two fractions, and how to multiply mixed numbers. • A full-sheet handout. This handout contains the same information as the fold-up, just in a full-sheet format. I find this format works well as a quick reference sheet. In addition, many students like to take it home and share with their parents. This page could also be made into a poster. • Fold-up Two explains how to change an improper fraction to a mixed number. • Four one-sided worksheets designed to help students practice the various types of multiplying fractions problem types. • Answer keys for all worksheets are also included.

Brighten your classroom library! This product has everything you need to organize your classroom library by AR Book Level or the following 10 genres: Realistic Fiction, Historical Fiction, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery, Traditional Literature, Informational, Biography, Autobiography and Poetry. 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 Red 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). Spine labels are available in black or red. •AR Book Level Labels: One set of 4.25”x 3.5” AR labels for book tubs or bookshelves. •Blank editable Large Poster (Power Point) •Blank page with 6 small editable labels (Power Point) •2 dpi 300 png images of Large Poster and small labels. 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.

"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 multiplication pattern of multiplying by multiples of 10. A sample equation might be: Whoooo has...50 x 6,000? or Whoooo has...1,000 x 1,000? Students should understand that to solve they multiply the basic fact then add the number of zeros in the original equation. They should also understand that each 0 in the original equation increases the product ten times--that's why adding the same number of zeros to the product that were in the original product works! 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. In addition to this product, the following products on this topic are available at my store: Zero Can Be Your Hero - Multiplication Patterns with Multiples of 10, 100, 1000 and The Early Bird Task Cards for Multiplication Patterns with Multiples of Ten

his set contains 24 task cards Also included is an explanation sheet with information on how I use task cards in my class, a cover card for the task cards, 'break' cards, a recording sheet and an answer key. The Early Bird Learns! This set contains: • 24 task cards designed to practice solving two step linear equations. A task card might read-- Solve for t -- 2t + 1 = 5. Or, solve for f -- 14 = 9f - 4. • Title task card. • 3 take a break cards. • A student recording sheet (color and black and white). • Answer key. I would recommend printing task cards and answer key on white card stock and then laminating for durability.

Fold-up a whole lot of fun! This six flap fold-up examines six different three dimensional figures: Cone, Cube, Sphere, Prism, Cylinder and Pyramid A definition and a visual representation is given of each. 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.

Here it is the 4th set of Science Investigations for the Teacher Who Doesn't Like Teaching Science! But, don't let the name fool you! You will find these experiments useful even if you LOVE teaching science :) Note this product is part of a "Bundled For Savings" pack. Be sure to check out Bundled for Savings: Science Experiments for the Teacher Who Doesn't Like Teaching Science to purchase all FOUR sets of this product at a substantial savings! This packet contains 5 easy investigations. The materials needed are easy to come by and inexpensive. I did not come up with these experiments myself, nor do I claim to. I have just compiled them onto easy to use sheets for students. Each experiment is described in detail on the front side and the backside provides students with space to record their observations. In addition, I have included an easy explanation of each experiment. The experiments include: A Groovy Cube - A density experiment. Materials needed include a clear drinking glass, food coloring, vegetable oil, baby oil, and ice cubes. Float A Clip - A surface tension experiment. Materials needed include water, dish soap, small bowl, and paper clips. Disappearing Money - A refraction experiment. Materials needed include a clear drinking glass, saucer, water, and penny. Hot Reaction - A chemical reaction experiment. Materials needed include steel wool, vinegar, small bowl, tall glass jar with lid, and a thermometer. It's A Scream - A sound experiment. Materials needed include a large disposable plastic cup, scissor, yardstick, string, water, and violin rosin (optional). Just a side note: When I do experiments with my 5th graders, I put students into groups of 4. Each group gets a tub of materials and 4 investigation/recording sheets. So, essentially, as materials go, each group of 4 will get the materials for the experiment. This cuts down on the cost dramatically, plus students are required to work cooperatively to complete the task--a very needed social skill.

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 change an improper fraction to a mixed number 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 half-sheet reviews focused on fractions. This Review Every Day includes the following fraction skills: Reducing fractions to lowest terms, comparing fractions, ordering fractions, writing equivalent fractions, finding the least common denominator, adding & subtracting fractions with alike and unlike denominators, multiplying and dividing fractions with a whole number, multiplying and dividing two fractions, multiplying and dividing mixed numbers, changing improper fractions to mixed numbers and changing mixed numbers to improper fractions. 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.

Perfect Partial Quotient resource for students and parents! The new Common Core Standards for Math prompted me to create this Partial Quotient Strategy pack for use with students and with parents. This fold-up resource models how to use the partial quotient method to solve a double-digit divisor division problem using the partial quotient method. The example shows a simple strategy that could be used with any equation. It then goes on to explain that once you master the method, you will be able to see faster ways to reach the answer. I do teach the Partial Quotient Strategy to all my students. We begin with single-digit divisors and then quickly move on to double-digit. I feel the real power of partial quotient is recognized when using it to solve double-digit divisor problems. If practiced enough, students will learn the method and most will use it when doing double-digit divisor equations. Thus, eliminating the dreaded double-digit divisor problem being solved with the standard algorithm. Now for parents. When I first began teaching this method I kept hearing time and time again how challenging the math was. How the parents could not even help their child with their math because the way we are solving problems is ‘not the way they learned it’. So, I created this fold-up resource not only for my students, but for their parents as well. Having this resource with homework or in a math journal has remedied any concerns or problems. Included in this packet is a one-fold fold-up. The fold-up gives an example of dividing a 2-digit divisor equation using the partial quotient method. I have also included to 2-sided worksheet to use with students. Also, included is an answer key. If you would like to see pictures of the single-digit divisor fold-up, please visit Mrs. B's Best Blog. While the fold-up shown is not the one included in this product, it does show you how to assemble the fold-up.

"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 division pattern of multiplying by multiples of 10. A sample equation might be: Whoooo has...2,500 divided by 5? or Whoooo has...10,000 x 1,000? Students should understand that to solve they divide the basic fact then add then subtract the number of zeros in the original equation. Don't worry, I have included a poster in the packet that demonstrates how I teach the topic. 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 multiplying and dividing 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.

This set contains 24 task cards designed to practice conversions and comparing customary measures for weight, length and capacity. Also included is a student recording sheet and an answer key. I use task cards in a variety of ways. The most popular is for students who finish their work early--aka...Early Birds. While I currently have the task cards in a tub on the cabinet, I would like to create a bulletin board next year and ‘hang’ the cards on the board. With this in mind, I started thinking that it would be nice to have a ‘title card’. This ‘title card’ would identify the topic of the task card set and provide a nicer visual for the display. So...I created a page with a ‘cover card’. Now, not being one to waste paper, I just knew there had to be something I could create for the remaining space on this newly created cover card sheet. This leads me to the second way I use the task cards...a little game I like to call “Tweet-Tweet”. Several times a month, we play “Tweet-Tweet”. Tweet-Tweet involves placing a task card on each student’s desk. Then students, with recording sheet in hand, move around the room solving the problem on each card on each desk. I announce a predetermined time they are allowed at each desk. This, of course depends on the complexity of the problems being solved. When all my students are in class, 27 total, I am actually a few cards short. So, I make several desks (3 to be exact!) ‘break desks’. When a student rotates to a ‘break desk’, they get to do just that...take a break. Even if you have 24 or fewer students, you could still incorporate a break desk or two into “Tweet-Tweet”. Instead of using 24 task cards, use 22 and 2 break cards. So, in addition to the ‘cover card’, you guessed it...I created 3 ‘official’ break cards. I would recommend printing task cards and answer key on white card stock and then laminating for durability.

Students use the "Upside Down Birthday Cake" method when finding the GCF! Each year my 5th grade students always confused Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor. In an effort to help them keep the two straight, I try to make the way I present one very different from the way I present the other. For GCF, I use what I call 'The Upside Down Birthday Cake'. Using a layered cake turned upside down as a visual greatly helps my students distinguish between GCF and LCM. I created this pack to introduce the method to my students. This pack INCLUDES the Greatest Common Factor Poster, which is listed separately in my shop. If you buy this, there is no need to purchase the poster. The pack includes: • A GCF matchbook fold-up. • A poster showing the step-by-step process of how the method works. • A half sheet copy of the poster, for a student resource and a two page worksheet. To learn how to print a poster, visit my Making Posters blog post. When assembling the matchbook fold-up, run a two-sided copy--the front cover (upside down intentionally for easier copying) and the inside. With the inside facing you, bring the top of the paper down to the bottom horizontal line and fold. Then bring the bottom of the paper up and fold on the bottom horizontal line. The result will look like a giant matchbook :)

Knowing Divisibility Rules gives students an advantage! This pack includes Individual Divisibility Rules Fold-Ups (2 per sheet--just cut apart on grey line and present one at a time). Once printed and assembled you will have 10 individual divisibility rule fold-up for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12. The inside of all of these fold-up could be enlarged and used as a poster for your classroom. To learn how to make a poster be sure to visit Mrs. B's Best Blog Also included are two fold-ups that summarize five divisibility rules each. These fold-ups would work if rules have already been taught and the student just needs a resource to refer to. I have also included ten 18 question worksheets to accompany each divisibility rule. An answer key is also provided. As always, when printing be sure to run a test copy to make sure the fold-ups fold up properly. Want to see pictures of the product? Stop by Mrs. B's Best Blog.

The teacher has two fold-up options: The teacher can run a completed inside sheet. This fold-up will be finished and ready to be used by students with just a few simple folds. If the teacher would like the fold-up to be more interactive, they can run the ‘missing parts’ inside. Students will be required to write in the the missing labels on the illustration. To view pictures of this resource, be sure to visit my blog post. Fold-ups are a wonderful resource that fits well in an interactive notebook or can be used as a stand alone resource. I find that my students refer to the fold-ups throughout the entire school year!

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. To see pictures of the finished product be sure to visit my blog post.
