This product includes discussion starters and prompts to help students engage in meaningful conversations with their teammates as they do group projects and work together to solve problems. These were created with math in mind but could easily be utilized in any other subject area where students work together!
I use these as reminders for my students by laminating them and taping them onto the tables or placing them inside acrylic displays at my collaborative stations.
There are 8 different backgrounds and 2 styles. The pre-made product is wonderful for easy use and quick implementation while the blank templates allow students to brainstorm their own ideas and create a document which reflects their beliefs and values concerning group work.
There are discussion starters for when your students are...
"Just getting started"
"When you want to share an idea"
"When you need someone to explain their thinking"
"When they disagree"
"When they need to refocus"
For example, when a student needs a friend to explain their thinking they might say...
-Can you help me understand…
-What did you mean when you said…
-Can you tell me more about…
-Can you explain how you…
-Is there another way you could explain that?
-Why did you choose this strategy?
-How do you know you are right?
Thank you so much for your consideration in this product! I hope it fits your needs and proves to be a helpful resource!
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.
Parenthesis Brackets and Braces Differentiated Task Cards
(Color and Black/White Option Included)
Common Core Aligned
These task cards are broken into 4 levels of difficulty, including two levels integrated into base ten topics. Students practice proper usage of these grouping symbols as a precursor to formal Order of Operations.
#1-10 (2-3 operations)
#11-20 (2-3 operations and embedded grouping symbols)
#20-30 (operations/embedded grouping symbols with powers of 10)
#30-40 (operations/embedded grouping symbols with decimals)
Tips for Classroom Use
-Place/Hang these in an area of the room where students can use them when they are finished with other work for extra practice.
-Choose the section of these cards which is just right for working in small groups.
-Let students check these out for practice at home, a great way to differentiate homework!
-Play using gameboards as a station.

Minimal set-up required!
Easy to understand rules for game play.
An excellent choice for math stations!
Includes:
12 pairs of “Sequence and Rule” cards
Printable backing for cards
Procedures page.
Three Activities for stations that students can use to develop their understanding of multiples and multiplication. These activities come with a procedure page, materials if necessary, and a student recording page.
This is a Bundle of eleven activities that can be used as group/center/menu stations for students during workshop class time. For each Activity you can find all the materials you will need as well as a student recording sheet.
*I make a booklet with these recording sheets so students can track their work in stations throughout our multiplication and number sense unit. :)
Topics included are:
-Arrays
-Factors
-(Prime/Composite Opportunities embedded)
-Multiples
-Common Multiples
-Multi-digit Multiplication
There are games, problem solving activities, and math stories for use in classrooms from grade 3-6.
Great for Stations or a Class Wide "Scoot" with Partners!
These puzzles are easy to set up and self checking! To set them up just print (two sided), cut them out, and paperclip the sets together or sort into small baggies. Then students can organize them in order from least to greatest.
If they think they are in the right order they flip them over and look for the message on the back. If the message makes sense, then they have them in the right order. If not, they should flip them over and try again.
A student recording sheet and key is also included!
A fun game for students to practice adding integers with like or unlike signs.. 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: Adding integers with like signs
Level 2: Adding integers with "unlike" signs
Two Puzzle Frame Options
-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.
This 5 page poster set reminds students of the divisibility rules for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. It also has a reminder that every number is divisible by all of its factors.
Please see my store for other products to support this topic.
-Divisibility Bundle
-Divisibility Lesson
-Divisibility Tiger Game
This game allows students to use their understanding of divisibility to practice determining if numbers are divisible by divisors such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. This practice is helpful as students learn to simplify fractions by looking for common factors, which is directly connected to divisibility.

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.
The 8 mathematical practices are important for students to understand as they engage in rigorous mathematical tasks and learn to understand how the language of mathematics works.
These classroom pennants will help remind students to think about the processes they are using as they develop new skills.
This set of classroom posters are a great way to get students thinking about what having "Attitudes of Excellence" means. They can think about how these attitudes apply to their lives, how they impact their learning, how they treat others, and how they see the world around them.
These attitudes; appreciation, commitment, confidence, cooperation, creativity, curiosity, empathy, enthusiasm, independence, integrity, respect, and tolerance help students grow as they work inside the classroom, and take their learning to the great big world outside of it as well!
I have included four different sets to match the decor of your classroom.
-Chevron with greens, pinks, and tan colors
-Black and White (I used these last year!) which are wonderful to print on colored paper to make a BIG statement.
