Task Cards Multiplication & Division {Camping Theme}

$3.00

This product comes with 24 colorful Camping-Themed Task Cards for practicing multiplication and division. The Task Cards support the following 4th Grade Standards:

MACC.4.NBT.2.5 Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.

MACC.4.OA.1.3 Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.

You may also be able to use these cards as an extension for 3rd grade students or as a review for 5th grade students.

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 used these another way as well and printed on regular 8.5 x 11 paper and then laminated. This worked perfectly fine if you do not have card stock handy.

After laminating, you can use a book/binder ring to attach the cards. 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. If you decided to print Black and White, these problems could also be glued in students’ math journal.

Task Cards Multiplication & Division {Camping Theme}

Fractions, Decimals, & Money

$4.00

We're Buggin' Out for Fractions, Decimals, and Money!

This product includes….
*4 Journal Problems using Fractions, Decimals, and Money
*11 Printable Practice Pages {mostly bug-themed}

The problems align to the following 4th Grade Common Core State Standards for Fractions, Decimals, and Money.

MACC.NF.3.6 Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100.

MACC.4.NF.3.5 Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100, and use this technique to add two fractions with respective denominators 10 and 100.

MACC.4.MD.1.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.

MACC.4.NF.3.7 Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >,+, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.

Each journal problem and printable page has an "I can…" statement to support your teaching and students' learning. Please see the table of contents for the listing of each page and journal problem included.

In my 4th grade classroom, I often introduce the lesson or new concept with a journal problem. We unpack the problem by Boxing the Math Words, Circling the Question, Underlining the Key Details of the Problem, and Envisioning the Problem.

Students may try to solve with a partner, or I may use the problem to teach my students. Then, we make notes or charts about the skill in our notebook. See an example below.. If you have any questions, concerns, comments, or feedback, please email me at Jessica@theliteracyloft.com

This resource contains 6 Halloween - Themed Multiplication Journal Problems and 14 Printables for multiplying up to 4 digit numbers. The journal problems can be used to teach a skill and the practice pages can be used for independent or partner practice. Inside the folder, you will find two documents.
One document contains the Journal problems and 2 additional half-size pages for multiplying using the distributive property. The half-size pages could be used as a formative assessment or any way you choose.

• Multiplying 1 digit x 3 digit numbers

• Multiplying 2 digit x 2 digit numbers

The second document contains printable practice pages for the same skills and more. The printables are a combination of word problems and numbers only. There are 8 similar pages that are simply 2 different versions of the same page. Four of the pages have a model for students to use and the other four do not. This document contains the following practice pages:

• Multiply Tens, Hundreds, and Thousands Word Problems {Monster Multiplication}
• Multiply Tens, Hundreds, and Thousands-Using Patterns {Monster Multiplication}
• Estimate Products 1 digit x 2 digit {Monster Match}

Lucky Charms Math- Find your Pot of Gold

$3.00

This resource offers fraction and decimal activities for you to use on or around St. Patrick's Day. You will need the cereal Lucky Charms for these activities. This resource is appropriate for grades 3-5, but aligns to the 4th Grade Common Core Standards.

MACC.4.NF.A.1 Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions

MACC.4.NF.3.6 Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100.

In the first activity, Find Your Pot of Gold!, students will find the fractional amounts of a set by using tally marks and creating a table.

In the second activity, My Fraction, My Decimal, students will use 10 pieces of Lucky Charms cereal (or 100 depending on the version you would like to use) to demonstrate the relationship from fractions to decimals. Then, plot the decimals and fractions on a number line. This is a wonderful activity to use when introducing decimal/fraction relationships.

Lucky Charms Math- Find your Pot of Gold

Multiplication Flash Cards, Quizzes, Brag Badges

$3.00

This Product Includes:
• Mini Flash Cards for Basic Multiplication Facts through 10’s designed to hang on a binder ring (I suggest copying on card stock OR laminating)
• 11 Multiplication Quizzes for each set of facts through the 10’s (20 facts on each quiz)
• 1 Multiplication Quiz containing all the facts through the 10’s (100 facts)
• 11 Brag Badges for students after mastering a set of facts and also for mastering all the facts. These could be worn on a lanyard, a binder ring on their backpack, or however you choose. These are in color and can be printed and laminated to last longer or printed on card stock.
• Student Progress Checklist to keep track of students’ quizzes

About this Product:
This is a resource I designed for my 4th grade classroom after realizing most of my students had not mastered their basic multiplication facts. According to the Common Core Standards, students should master these facts by the end of 3rd grade. As many teachers know, this is sometimes not reality. We moved on to bigger and better concepts in my 4th grade classroom. Their lack of mastery of these facts hindered their ability to master multi-digit multiplication and division, factors and multiples, and working with fractions. Thus, this product was born.
This product contains materials to help and motivate your students to master their facts as well as quizzes to assess students’ progress.

The 100 basic facts are broken down into quizzes on each fact set: 1s-10s. So, students can start with their 1s. This would be the first quiz they take. As they pass each quiz, they move on until passing all the individual quizzes and finally All the Facts. Students use the personal mini flash cards to practice facts at home or when they have extra time during class. Having these on a binder ring makes it less likely cards will get lost or scattered. Hopefully.

The Brag Badges can be used as a reward when students pass a test. If copies or printing in color is an issue for you, you could use the colored versions for passing all the facts. With the flash card printables, there are also smaller versions of Brag Badges that students can place on the binder ring.
Additionally, there are flash cards for 11s, 12s, and a couple of challenge multiplication problems just for kicks.

Writing Process Signs

$2.00

These writing process signs will help you and your students identify the steps/parts of the writing process as well as keep track of where they are when working on a project and what to do next! Implementing a routine at the beginning of the year will help students be successful as writers throughout the year as well as in the rest of their writing life. These Writing Process Signs come in 3 different designs and patterns (navy & white quarter foil, navy & white stripes, teal & white chevron) If you like the signs, but would like to see them in different colors, please contact me! There are also two “title” posters. {The Writer’s Process and A Writer’s Thinking}

I suggest printing and laminating each of the signs. You may or may not want to use each of the signs. There are slight variations on the steps in the writing process, as a general rule of thumb. Printing on card stock would allow these signs to be more durable, but is not necessary! You could even print and slip into sheet protectors. If you do not have access to a color printer (or find that it is too expensive) simply print in gray-scale.

The signs could be used in several ways...
Writing Center- put signs in sheet protectors and then attach on a binder ring and have students use as a reference.

Bulletin Board- Display in a row above or on a bulletin board or even in the writing center as a reminder of the steps writers go through during the writing process.

Writers’ Tracking System- Use as a way to track your young writers’ status in the writing process. You could do this by connecting the signs using binder rings. Then, hang on a bulletin board and use clothespins with your students’ names or numbers to track where they are in the writing process.

BINGO
The questions are in a bingo-style format. Students read the informational text about the Elections, then they answer questions on the bingo grid. The grid comes in 26 different versions.

HOW TO PLAY:
The first page is an answer key, which can be used to play the game of bingo. Cut up each square, place them in a Ziploc bag or container of your choice, and call out questions.

Happy Notes

$3.00

Positive Notes are a simple and effective classroom management tool.

✋ This resource is included in the discounted Back to School Bundle!

How to Use:

When you want to acknowledge a student’s behavior or effort, simply place a positive note on their desk, in their folder, on their work, or as a sticker!

In order to print the notes, you’ll want to print Page 3 (print as many copies as you want). Then, stick blank Post-Its on each square and insert the pages with the Post-Its attached back into your printer. All of the messages will print directly onto the Post-Its!

To make your life even easier, you can also simply print on colored paper (or plain white) and have these notes ready to simply hand out to students, tape/staple in their agenda, or attach to work/take home folder.
