Flip for Math: Step-By Step, Flip Book for Order of Operations PLUS Flow Chart

(0)
A step-by-step guide for using the Order of Operations! 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 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!

Thinking Like a Scientist: What's In the Mystery Box Science Investigation

(0)
Note: This lesson is designed to be used with a Triple Beam Balance. I have developed the Mystery Box Investigation as a way to practice both Science Process Skills as well as the use of several science tools. It is a great beginning of the year activity! The tools used include magnets, calculators and a triple beam balance scale. A triple beam balance does work best, however a basic scale could be substituted if needed. Note that if a scale is substituted, you are no longer measuring mass, you will technically be measuring weight. This activity is used only after the science process skills have been taught and reviewed. Essentially, the students will use process skills along with tools to infer what object is hiding inside a mystery box. This process is repeated over until all mystery boxes the teacher has created have been examined. (I usually have 6 when completing this activity in my room.) This product contains: Step-By-Step Teacher Instructions (9 pages) Mystery Box Labels (for 12 boxes) Mystery Box Mass of Empty Box Labels (for 12 boxes) Using a Triple Beam Balance Instructions Triple Beam Balance Practice Page Student Investigation Procedure Page Mystery Box Recording Sheets (for 12 boxes) The preparation of the mystery boxes does take a bit of time--you wrap up shoe boxes using construction or wrapping paper--but once that task is complete, they mystery boxes can be used with this activity for a significant number of years. Mine are currently 7 years old and still going strong!
