Why Plan Online? My teacher planners are always totally cute-but I don't carry them with me all day. Not carrying a huge book shouldn’t limit my ability to work on the go and use those pockets of free time to prepare for my kiddos, so I began creating this planner based on my needs and have added ideas based on feedback from others. Since I have my google drive on my phone I ALWAYS have access to my plans. If I get a good idea, see something I want to add to a lesson, snap a photo that inspires a great science talk-I just upload it to my drive on my phone and it is all RIGHT THERE no matter where I am. Major Perks! Access it anywhere you can connect to the internet. ANYWHERE! Copy/Paste links to videos/images that you want to use in your lessons. This makes it so much easier to pull up the things you want to show! Duplicate pages you use over and over so you don’t have to retype/write things again and again. Share with colleagues for collaborative planning. Work with a team that shares planning responsibilities? Awesome-everyone can access a shared plan book to add their pieces-even at the same time! New year? No Problem! I plan to update this each spring with new calendar pages. You can make a copy of next year’s file and then use the Insert > Import Slides button to import any of the items from previous years that you want to use again. Want to use different planning styles for different units? Easy! Just duplicate the slides you want to use and place them in an order that makes sense to you. Once this planner is yours, you can make as many as you want. I organize by quarter so I have four. I duplicate what I need and delete the rest!

This lesson plan helps students develop a conceptual awareness of divisibility through exploration. Students test a variety of numbers for divisibility (I prefer to let them use calculators for increased reliability) and then look for patterns to develop divisibility rules. Relationships between factors and divisibility become evident as students notice that they can use their understanding of factors to predict what a number may be divisible by. Materials for the lesson include posters for students to write on as they do the activity and number cards to test. The graphic organizer included can be printed in multiple formats so that you can choose how much information you want students to write, vs. what you want to provide for them.

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!

Included in this bundle are three activities/games to help students practice working with arrays and factors as they develop their number sense and multiplicative thinking skills.

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.

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. -Geometric with Bright Colors (I'm using these this year!) -Bright Water Colors *I also do custom products* Message me at widenmo6684@gmail.com if you have a request.

This file includes a problem solving task, slides that walk students through the problem solving process, as well as tips for teaching problem solving and possible questions for facilitating the task. It is provided as a pdf. as well as a ppt. This task focuses on area and perimeter as students try to maximize the area of a bunny pen for a predetermined perimeter. Students engage in true problem solving as they explore the possibilities for the bunny pen in this version of a classic mathematical task. This PowerPoint includes teacher facilitation questions, a guide to understanding the mathematics in the problem, a scaffolded approach to problem solving, and possible solutions. This is the method I use to help my students engage deeply in problem solving and stretch themselves beyond "number plugging" as many students do when they solve a "word problem". I have included a powerpoint version as well as a printable .pdf to fit the needs of your classroom.

These task cards can be used at stations, as a class activity (scoots and treasure hunts are GREAT!) or along with gameboards. There are levels included: Whole numbers Divided by Unit Fractions Unit Fractions Divided by Whole Numbers Fractions Divided by Fractions Division with Fractions Greater than 1 Student recording sheet, problems at a glance and answer sheet included.

Task Cards have become an increasingly popular addition to our classrooms, yet they can quickly become boring and lose student engagement. So, as an option to the worksheet-like drudgery which can come with the "cards" I have created these game boards to allow students to get the practice they need, while having fun with their classmates. This is a growing bundle which means that as I add more game boards to my collection, you will be able to download them for no additional cost. :) You can receive notifications when changes are made to these items by checking back frequently or following my store. THIS BUNDLE INCLUDES: Top of the Mountain-A 2 person race Bubble Race-Up to 4 person play. Very simple rules Terrific Tunnels-Up to 4 people. General Gameboard rules Powerful Portals-Up to 4 people. General Gameboard with a twist.

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.

A fun game for students to practice multiplication of one digit numbers. 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: Multiplication with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Level 2: Multiplication with 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 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 Magic Puzzle Board is a self checking set of puzzles that allow students to practice converting units of capacity. You can teach this skill in a variety of ways, though I find using ratios and unit rates to be a wonderful lead in for this topic.
