"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

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.

Perfect for a math journal! This matchbook foldable focuses on intersecting, parallel and perpendicular lines. A definition and a visual representation is given of each. To assemble a matchbook foldable, make a two sided copy (cover on one side and inside on the other). While looking at the inside, bring the top down to the bottom horizontal line and fold. Then bring the bottom up, folding on the bottom horizontal line. The finished product will look like a giant matchbook. I would cut the three line types apart (on dotted line) after the folding is complete. 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.

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. I have created 4 additional Decimal Foldables! This new pack includes: •How to Write a Decimal in Word Form (2 per sheet). •How to Change a Decimal into a Fraction--does not include whole number (3 per sheet). •How to Multiply Decimals by Powers of Ten. •How to Divide Decimals by Powers of Ten. For more pictures on how to assemble fold-ups please visit my blog post

Hands-on resource for Area and Perimeter This 2-part fold-up provides students with a basic understanding of perimeter and area. Both area and perimeter are defined. The formula for each is given as well as an example. This fold-up would work well in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. When making copies, the front cover goes on one side of the paper and the inside on the other. I would recommend running a test copy to make sure it folds up properly.

The teaching aid demonstrates how to use 'The Upside Down Birthday Cake' Method for finding the Greatest Common Factor of two or more numbers. Print individual sheets for your students or chose 'tile printing' to enlarge to poster size. Note: If you do tile print, you will need to assemble the pieces to make the poster. For information on how to enlarge visit my blog post: http://mrsbsbest.blogspot.com/2012/08/making-posters.html

This is a wonderful getting to know each other activity. Students enjoy playing this activity the first days of school. Students move about the classroom learning interesting information about their classmates. Page one is the Blackout Card. Page two contains teacher's instructions.

Note: This product is designed to be used in a classroom in which the school year is divided into quarters (1st quarter - 4th quarter). This product is a companion to Accelerated Reader program which is used in many classrooms. This product contains: 4 Goal Setting Sheets (one for each quarter). Goal Setting Parent Signature Sheet. Weekly Goal Tracking Sheet. To use this product, students set their goals for the appropriate quarter. I recommend they use their previous grade’s information to aid their decision for the first quarter. Once they’ve chosen their goals, they record them by both writing the number and coloring the graphs on the goal setting sheet. Students also record their goals on the goal setting half sheet and take home for a parent signature. Throughout the quarter, students check and record their progress on a weekly basis. At the end of the quarter, I distribute their original goal sheet and they 'star' those goals they met.

The Early Bird Learns! This set contains: • 24 task cards for finding the least common denominator for a pair of fractions and then writing an equivalent fraction for each. • 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.

"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 math skill - Changing mixed numbers to improper fraction and improper fractions to mixed numbers. Note: Set three does require some fractions be simplified to caluculate the final answer. 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!"

Let’s face it we all know that many students will be less attentive once they have read their card.

Students need the basics when working with fractions. This fold-up names the various parts of a fraction (numerator and denominator, gives the definitions and has a visual representation. This fold-up will fit nicely in a student's math journal or as a stand alone resource. This is a two page resource: The front cover and inside. Each copy will make two fold-ups. The cover is upside down for easier printing. I would recommend, however, that you run just one copy and make sure it folds up correctly. A quick trim on both the bottom and the top will allow the line between the numerator and denominator to match up properly.

This product now has editable pages. This allows you to personalize the plan to better meet the needs of your classroom. I have used this behavior plan in my 5th grade classroom for over 9 years. I have found it to be very successful! This packet includes a parent/student note, expectation handout/poster, class rules handout/poster, detention sign in sheet, discipline slip, teacher recording sheet, reward tickets and a explanation of the plan. Plus, just added, editable pages that include a parent/student note, expectation handout/poster, class rules handout/poster.

This product allows students to practice making customary measurement conversions. The cards can be used as flashcards or to play the classic game of “Concentration”. Students can practice the conversions by one measurement type at a time (capacity, length, weight and time) or combine a few or all for more of a challenge. This set includes 16 capacity match-ups, 16 length match-ups, 16 time match-ups and 12 weight match-ups. Also included is a card cover page and answer keys.

Wonderful writing traits resource for you classroom. This product contains 7 writing trait posters: Ideas, Word Choice, Voice, Organization, Sentence Fluency, Conventions and Presentation. Each poster is labeled with the Trait with a description of the trait below. If you prefer to use the original 6 traits, don't use the Presentation poster. Also, included are two 'title' posters. One reads Six Traits of Writing. The other reads 6 + 1 Traits of Writing. Again, choose the poster that meets your needs. The posters are all created with the paper layout on landscape. You can run the posters on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Or you can enlarge them. For directions on how to make larger posters read my blog post on the subject.

A step-by-step guide for using the Area Model Method for Multiplication! 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 three flip-books. • The first book features using the Area Model Method to multiplying a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number. • The second book practices using the Area Model method to multiply a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number. • The third book models how to multiply a 2-digit number by a 2-digit number using the Area Model Method. • 10 jumbo practice cards. Detailed jumbo answer key cards are also included. • Ready-made tabs which can be used to easily find each problem type in the flip book. To assemble simply run single-sided copies of both pages. Laminate for durability. Cut on the dotted line. Put the pages in sequential order--cover should be on top. Bind or staple (binding works best) across the top!

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.

This product is a half-sheet two flap fold-up. The fold-up defines both abiotic and biotic factors. In addition to the definitions, multiple examples of each type of the factors are listed. The teacher has two options with this product. If the teacher is short on time, run a completed inside sheet. This fold-up will be finished and ready to be used by students with a single cut and just a few simple folds. If the teacher has time and would like the fold-up to be more interactive, run the fill in the definition and example inside sheet. A word bank sheet will have to be run too (4 word banks per page.) The word bank sheet does not have to be used. If the teacher prefers students can look the definitions up in a science resource book. They can also create their own list of examples. Directions on how to assemble the fold-up are included. 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!

This set contains 24 task cards designed to practice calculating area, perimeter and volume. 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.
