We HEART Fractions!- Valentine's Day Fraction Word Problems

$3.00

About this Product:
This product includes 12 Valentine’s Day Themed Fraction Word Problems aligned with Common Core Math Standards for 4th Grade. The product also includes a Vocabulary sheet in both a half sheet version as well as a full sheet. Students can draw a picture to show an example as well as write the math word definition.

{MACC.4.NF.2.3d, MACC.4.NF.2.4b, MACC.4.NF.2.4c, MACC.4.NF.2.4a}

The 12 problems are presented in 3 different formats.

4 of the same problems on a page that could be used as Math Journal problems (glued into the math journal) or used in a Math Center.

The second format is a “worksheet” format to use if you wanted to review fraction concepts around Valentine’s Day. This would be printed as 6 on a page or 12 if you printed front and back.

The third format is also a “worksheet” format, but has 4 different problems on one side in case your students need more work space. Mine do! I used the journal problems in my classroom so students would have enough room to draw pictures and show their thinking.

Multiplication & Division {Ocean-Themed}

Converting Units of Measurement Task Cards {Spring into Measurement!}

$4.00

About the Product:

This product comes with 48 colorful Spring-Themed Task Cards for Converting Units of Measurement. The Task Cards support the following 4th Grade Standards:

CCSS.4.MD.1.1 Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including Km m, cm; kg, g; lb. oz; L, hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two column table.

CCSS.4.MD.1.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals. Represent fractional quantities of distance and intervals of time using linear models.

They can be printed in color or as grayscale black and white. I suggest laminating the cards and printing on card stock so they will last longer. However, I did not do this and printed on regular 8.5 x 11 and then laminated. This worked perfectly fine if you do not have card stock handy (as I did not-hindsight is 20/20, right?).

After laminating, you can use a book/binder ring to attach the chards. They can then become part of your Math Center as a rotation, small group, tutoring, or for review. Another suggestion for using this is to not expect students to complete all of the cards, especially your struggling students. A blank Answer Sheet is included that students can just write the number for each problem. This is wonderful to use as an early finisher task. Some of the problems require multiple steps, which will be useful with higher level students. My students still work on our Division is SNOW much fun! Task Cards when they finish an assignment, though the snow has long melted (or never arrived since we live in Florida). If you decided to print Black and White, these problems could also be glued in students’ math journal.

Multiplication & Division Task Cards {Splash into Summer!}

$3.00

Multiplication & Division Task Cards for 4th Grade

This resource is intended to be a review and practice of Common Core Division and Multiplication standards in 4th Grade.

This resource includes:
*32 Task Cards
*Answer Sheet
*Answer Key

This resource is aligned to the following Common Core Standards:

MACC.4.OA.A.1
Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 x 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7. and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.

MACC.4.OA.A.3
Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

MACC.4.NBT.B.5
Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

MACC.4.NBT.B.6
Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

The Problems are organized into the following problem types:
#1-4 Multiplicative Comparisons
#5-8 2d x 2d
#9-12 3d x 1d
#13-16 4d x 1d
#17-20 2d ÷1d
#21-24 2d ÷ 1d interpreting the remainder
#25-28 3d ÷ 1d
#29-32 4d ÷ 1d

How to Use this Product:
I used this resource in my 4th Grade classroom to practice and review Multiplication and Division at the end of the year. There are several ways to use Task Cards in your classroom, depending on your intents and purposes. Here are some of the ways I have used Task Cards in my classroom:

*Early Finisher Task

*Practice New Concepts- Give a few to groups of students, set a timer for 15 mins (or whatever works for you) and then have students rotate cards. Unfinished cards can be finished at the end or at some other time.

*SCOOT- There are SO many blog posts and free resources for this game on TpT.

Newspaper Article Writing Unit {Here's the Scoop!}

$7.00

*A DIGITAL OPTION HAS BEEN INCLUDED FOR GOOGLE SLIDES/GOOGLE CLASSROOM* Be sure to re-download! There are directions and links inside the ZIP File.

This is one of my favorite Writing Units! Writing a Newspaper Article about the community, school, or class is a fun way for students to develop their writing skills, as well as connect with the world around them. The resources in this unit could be used to teach as a class Writing Unit, to create a class newspaper, a school newspaper, or in an after school club. Students will develop informational writing skills which support the Common Core Writing Anchor Standard 2: Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.

This unit is fun for end of the year after testing is all over to remind students that writing is not just test prep and writing essays! Also, you might use this to create a Class Newspaper or Anthology to help preserve the year’s memories. Though this is a unit on writing a Newspaper Article, it could be extended to writing a blog, website article, magazine article, or other type of article. Writing about the news is not as simple as writing for a Newspaper anymore. This is why throughout the resources you may see varying terms such as Newspaper Article, Journalist, Reporter, Feature Article, etc.

What this Product Includes:
There are 3 separate documents included in a zipped file.

*Anchor Charts for the Writer’s Notebook (31 pages) These are half sheets which students can glue in to have the anchor charts at their fingertips.

*Anchor Charts Full Size (same content as above) (20 pages) which can be used:
-as a slide show when teaching the unit
-printed and laminated to post on bulletin board or Writing Center
-printed and put in sheet protectors compiled together on a book/binder rings

I use these charts as a slide show and then also print, put in sheet protectors, then assemble together on a binder/book ring to use when teaching a small group or support writers in working on something specific.

*Unit Lesson Plans- (15 pages) The lessons are brief and to the point to explain how to teach the unit or teaching point for the day. Please know that these lessons are absolutely not the only way the lessons could be taught, but to give teachers an idea if this is a new-to-you unit! They are meant to be in the form of a mini lesson for the Writer’s Workshop model, however are NOT written to those specific guidelines. They are more a general idea of what you would do for that lesson. There is also a page of listed texts and websites that would be useful in teaching this unit. Anything in blue is a clickable link that will take you to that specific website.

The lessons may take longer than one day or less than one day, depending on you and your students. The lessons can be arranged in any way which fits your students. Make these resources your own and most importantly, HAVE FUN!

I hope you have as much fun as we did with this unit!

Math Morning Work Grades 1-5 {Bundle} | Distance Learning | Google Slides

$275.00 $150.00 Save $125.00

This bundle includes all the monthly morning work for Grades 1-5 Math August-June. All of the months are 4-5 weeks long.

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 5th Grade Common Core Standards and meant to be a review. If you teach 6th grade, this might also work for you depending on your students’ needs.

Each month contains 4-5 (except for August) weeks of math morning work, which will have a theme around the season, national holidays, or events associated with that particular month. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged and open doors for conversations. At the beginning of the year, the math will be mostly 4th Grade review and increase in difficulty as the year goes on. However, the morning work is intended to be a review to keep students engaged, build confidence, and complete with independence.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my own classroom: Multiplication & Division, Number Sense, & Fractions (including Fractions & Decimals). While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Each week follows the same routine and structure:

Multiplication Monday- Problems are centered around Multiplication.

Base Ten Tuesday- All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.

Wordless Wednesday- No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

Throwback Thursday- Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays are typically focused on review. I also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, and Geometry. There is also a short paragraph in which students Box the Verbs, Circle the adjectives, and Underline the nouns. There may also be a short sentence or paragraph in which students edit the sentence or answer a question after reading a short paragraph related to Social Studies or Science.

Fraction Fun Friday- Nothing says Fun Friday like Fractions! There is always a need to review fractions. By keeping it short, sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence in fractions while also keeping it fresh.
