Standards Addressed:

5.MD.C.3 Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.

5.MD.C.3.A A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube," is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume.

5.MD.C.3.B A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.

5.MD.C.4 Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.

5.MD.C.5 Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.

5.MD.C.5.A Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.

5.MD.C.5.B Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.

5.MD.C.5.C Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.

8 Ways to use Math Task Cards in Your Classroom:

I recommend printing these on card stock and/or laminating them so that you can continuously use them year after year.

1. Math Center
2. Journal Problems
3. Small Group Instruction
4. End of Unit Review
5. Test Prep
6. Early Finisher Task
7. Write and Wipe Answers (if laminated)
8. Walk and Solve: Many teachers like to place these around the classroom to get their kids moving by "walking and solving." You can put them on desks, paste them on your whiteboard, and in various places around the room.

Fractions & Decimals...Valentine's Day Style! This resource offers 3 activities for you to use on or around Valentine’s Day. You will need conversation hearts for two of these activities. These activities are appropriate for grades 3-5, but align to 4th Grade Common Core Standards listed below.

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.

1) Find Your Sweetheart!

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

2) My Fraction, My Decimal

In the second activity, My Fraction, My Decimal, students will use only 10 conversation hearts to demonstrate the relationship between fractions and decimals. Then, they will plot the decimals and fractions on a number line. This is a wonderful activity to use when introducing decimal/fraction relationships. For my students, it was a hands-on way to reinforce these concepts.

3) Our Hearts Belong Together!

The third activity, Our Hearts Belong Together, reinforces the concept of equivalent fractions. Students will use a key to color in equivalent fraction hearts for 1/2 , 1/4, 1/3, 2/4. *Answer Key Included*

This resource contains 9 Thanksgiving/Turkey- Themed Journal Problems and 8 Printables for dividing with 2 and 3 digit numbers, including 4 half sheets for interpreting the remainder. One of the half sheets is a duplicate of the 4 journal problems because you may want students to see the different ways to interpret all on one page and keep in their math journal as a reference. You might also want to use this particular half sheet (What about the Leftovers?) for instruction.

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 4 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.

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.

My Opinion Matters! {An Opinion Writing Unit}

Summer Learning Packet (2nd Grade) Google Slides + Print

Student Led Conferences & Goal Setting

$3.00

My Life is A Story {A Personal Narrative Writing Unit}

About the Product:
This product contains the following tools to help you conduct Student Led Conferences in which students have direction about what to share with their parents and more importantly- you have direction as a teacher to implement Student Led Conferences! Additionally, students have tools to help them set goals for themselves based on current grades or test scores. In our 4th grade classrooms, we used a Student Data Sheet for students to record and keep track of their data. Because districts use different assessments, I have provided a power point document which is editable so you can change to suit your needs. If you would like to use the same fonts I used, head over to KG Fonts to get your font fix. :) The other documents are generic enough that you can use them in your own classroom.

What this product includes
*Save the Date! - This document is editable to add in the dates and times for your Student Led Conferences.

*Welcome to our classroom! - This is a welcome sheet students can leave on their desks when the parents come in. Students also used this as an agenda/guide for going through the process and remembering the steps for their Student Led Conference. (This helps to work through the awkward moments of, “What do I say next?...”)

*Questions for Parents to Ask Your Child - This form is for parents to fill out during the conference. This serves as a guide to help parents ask their child questions while their child walks them through their work.

*Setting Goals - Ideas for improvement in Language Arts, Math, Science, Work Habits, and Behaviors. These are slightly a combination for tools to set goals and goals themselves. This will help students, parents, and you identify HOW to reach goals. In my classroom, students set goals based on their grades, test scores, or assessment data. Then, they used this sheet to identify ways to reach the goals they set. However, for some of your students- these may be the actual goals.

Reindeer Ordered Pair-Christmas Math Activity

$3.00

This printable is used to help introduce or to reinforce ordered (coordinate) pairs. When finished it forms a reindeer outline. This holiday themed math activity is aligned to the 5th Grade Common Core Math Standard..

CCSS.Math.Content.5.G.A.1Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond.

2. Journal Problems
3. Small Group Instruction
4. End of Unit Review
5. Test Prep
6. Early Finisher Task
7. Write and Wipe Answers (if laminated)
8. Walk and Solve: Many teachers like to place these around the classroom to get their kids moving by "walking and solving." You can put them on desks, paste them on your whiteboard, and in various places around the room.
