Flip for Math: Step-By Step, 3-in-1, Flip Book for Short Division Method

(0)
Kids love experimenting with the Short Division Method! 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 flip book product shows students the step-by-step process for using the 'short' division method to divide. NOTE--The 'short' division method is designed to be used when dividing by a single-digit divisor. There are no examples of how to use this method with multiple-digit divisors. This method is not easily used with multiple-digit divisors and not recommended. If you are wanting a product that demonstrates how to divide using multiple-digit divisors, this is NOT the product for you :) This packet contains a ‘three-in-one’ flip-book. • Section 1 provides a step-by-step guide for using 'short' division to divide small numbers by a single-digit divisor. • Section 2 covers how to use the 'short' division method to divide larger numbers by a single digit. • Section 3 demonstrates how to use the 'short' division method to divide numbers with remainders by a single-digit. • Ready-made index tabs for marking each of the four sections.

Polka Dot - Not Your Mom's Calendar Kit - 7 Complete Sets and More

(0)
So, this past school year, my daughter was helping me change the calendar in my classroom. We weren’t far into the process when she announced that my calendar was looking pretty shabby and that I really ought to consider getting a new one. Wow, really... Now even though I still maintain my 20+ year old calendar kit looked pretty good, I decided to take her advice and create a new kit. And thus, “Not Your Mom’s” Calendar Kit was born. This kit contains 7 complete polka dot sets in the following colors: Tangerine, Lime, Lemon, Red, Sky Blue, Hot Pink and Black. Having seven different colors allows you to mix and match! Want a lime and tangerine calendar? You can do that! Each set contains: Calendar number cards 1 - 31, 12 month cards and 7 day of week cards. Note: This set does not contain the background sheet to which the cards are attached. I just recycled my old one, but you can easily make one using poster board. I would recommend running the number cards and month cards on white card stock and laminating, so you can make it last 20+ years! Also included are all 12 months written in bubble letters. I personally use these letters (not the polka dot month cards) to label the month. I purchased several 8.5 x 11 pattern paper packs. (Available at Walmart in scrapbooking section.) Choose a coordinating texture/color to compliment the number cards and run the pattern pack paper through your printer. When you are finished you’ll have colorful letters to cut out and use for your calendar. And...even better...you won’t use any colored ink!

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!

I Have, Whoooo Has? Mental Math - Addition and Subtraction

(0)
"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 using mental math to add and subtract numbers 1 - 100. 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. 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.

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

Answer key is included. Just a note, ‘The Upside-Down Birthday Cake’ Method for finding GCF works well when first introducing the concept of finding the GCF and when trying to find the GCF of larger numbers. By breaking the original numbers down gradually, students make what could be an overwhelming task more manageable.

The method is quite different than finding GCF, which helps prevent confusing the two skills. The method also provides a very structured approach that makes the skill easier for most students to master.

My Turn to Learn QR Code Task Cards: Dividing A Decimal by a Single-Digit

(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 decimal number being divided by a single-digit whole number. Note there will be no remainders. All equations are written horizontally and students will have to rewrite in order to divide. 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.
