The Less Paper Classroom: Multiply a Fraction & a Whole Number

The Less Paper Classroom: Multiply a Fraction & a Whole Number

(0)
I began creating the Less Paper Classroom product line after seeing a need for a true digital product I could use in my own classroom. I believe being completely paperless is an unfair expectation for any classroom, I do believe, however, that using less paper can be achieved, and this product is designed to allow the teacher to do just that. This product includes 25 full page PDF solve cards. Each solve card features a multiplication equation (a fraction times a whole number). In addition, each solve card is followed by a full page PDF check card. Each check card features a large QR code, which should be able to be scanned from anywhere in the room if projected on a classroom display screen. Once scanned, the QR code reveals the correct answer. Also included is a traditional recording sheet and a traditional answer key. One huge benefit of a less paper product, is that after downloading the classroom teacher has literally no prep at all. How cool is that? The zip file contains several different file formats. Choose the one that best suits the many ways you plan to use them: Both Solve and Check Cards, Solve Cards Only, Check Cards Only. I have also included a page describing several ways I have used these cards in my room. While this product was designed to be used on a tablet, iPad or projected on a classroom display like a mimeo or a smart board, you could certainly print it out and use it in a more traditional way if you like. Be sure to check out my blog to read posts about my journey to becoming a Less Paper Classroom and watch for additional "The Less Paper Classroom" Products arriving in my store soon!

My Turn to Learn QR Code Task Cards: Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators

(0)
Turn to Learn task cards are fun to use because students love using a QR code reader to check their answers. This product contains: • 24 Task Cards. Each card has a fraction addition equation. • Students will need to know: -How to find the common denominator -Write equivalent fractions. -Add equivalent fractions. -Simplify the answer to lowest terms. This does involve writing an improper fraction as a mixed number on a few of the cards. Please see preview page to see an example of the problems. • 24 cards with a corresponding QR code. The QR codes are the answers to the problems. • 2-sided workspace recording sheet that students can use to solve the problems. Students needing more space will have to use their own paper. • Traditional answer key for those not wanting to use the QR code component. To Assemble: Print off all task card problems. Then print the QR codes on the back side. Be sure the Question numbers match up. I like to run task cards on card stock and laminate for durability. Cut on dotted lines. Put cards in sequential order, with cover and directions on top. The margin on the left side of each card is for binding (or hole punch). I prefer to bind. How to Use: Students use the 2-sided workspace recording sheet to solve each of the 24 questions. Students then use a QR reader to check answers as they go or after they’ve finished a predetermined amount of questions.

Fractions - R.E.D. (Review Every Day) PART 2 (Second Edition)

(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 change an improper fraction to a mixed number for the chapter test, does not mean they will remember the skill a month later. In fact, I found this to be so true, I found it necessary to create an additional set of, RED-Fractions. So, this packet contains an additional 28 quick half-sheet reviews focused on fractions. Note that while the format is identical to the first set, the problems are different. 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 demoninator, 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. The skill sequence is in increasing difficulty. So, if you already have the first set of RED Fractions, I would suggest you do number 1 from set 1, then do number one from set 2. And continue that way through both sets. 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. However, if you have both sets, then I would recommend running set 1 on front and set 2 of the corresponding numbers on back. At the back of the packet you will find the answer key which provides the answers to all questions.
