The eight process standards as defined by the Common Core are the foundational skills that students must use in effective problem solving. These posters take the skills and define them by asking students to think about the mathematics with open ended questions that help them make connections about the math they are doing and the context they are applying them to.

A fun game for students to practice finding equivalent values for mixed numbers and improper fractions. Students place each puzzle piece so that each value is connected to an equivalent value. Pairs of equivalent values should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Fractions with benchmark denominants. Level 2: Fractions with whole number values greater than five and non benchmark denominants. Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for group or 15-20 minute stations.

-Equivalent Fractions- A fun game for students to practice finding equivalent fractions. Students place each puzzle piece so that each fraction is connected to an equivalent fraction. Pairs of equivalent fractions should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Simplest form and Equivalent Fraction Level 2: Equivalent Fractions without Simplest Form. Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for group or 15-20 minute stations.

Place each puzzle piece so that each equation is connected to the matching value of x. Pairs of matching equations and x values should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Solving equations with one operation. Level 2: Solving equations with two operations Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for group or 15-20 minute stations

An Activity to help students practice the skill: Finding Fractional Parts of a Number! Game Play requires students to determine the highest or lowest value when comparing fractions of a number. Includes: 48 Game Cards & Directions. Players each get an equal amount of cards. Then, each turns over a card. Example: 1/2 of 28 vs. 2/3 of 18 Then they compare the values of both cards. 1/2 of 28 = 14 vs. 2/3 of 18 =12 The person with the highest value on their card gets to keep both cards. The object is to be the person with the greatest number of cards at the end of the game.

These fraction strips provide an inexpensive way for each student to have a set of fraction manipulatives while they explore fraction concepts such as equivalence, addition and subtraction, finding parts of a whole and more! Just print these out on cardstock and laminate for a long lasting tool that students can use all year.

X’s and O’s Three in a Row A fun way for students to practice graphing on a coordinate grid while looking for patterns to determine best placement to win a game. This game has two levels of difficulty to allow for differentiation in small group practice or provide two separate whole class activities. Level 1 - Quadrant 1 Graphing Level 2 - All 4 Quadrants

A fun game for students to practice finding equivalent values for decimals and fractions. Students place each puzzle piece so that each fraction or decimal is connected to an equivalent value. Pairs of equivalent values should be both vertical and horizontal. It is a self checking puzzle, since it can only be solved completely with correct combinations. Two levels of complexity Level 1: Benchmark & Unit Fractions and their Decimal Form Level 2: Non-Unit/Benchmark Fractions and their Decimal Form Puzzles with frames are included so that students can solve the puzzles quickly for 10-15 minute station work. Puzzles without frames give students a greater challenge and are more appropriate for group or 15-20 minute stations.

Activities for students to practice their skills with decimal values through the thousandths place. Can be used with a whole class, or in stations. Includes: -Modeling with Base Ten Blocks -Writing Decimal Values in Standard, Word, and Expanded Form -Comparing and Ordering -Estimating and Rounding -Addition -Subtraction
