You will also receive an All About Me profile spread for students to share the ways they learn best, strengths and barriers to learning they may have. Finally, I have included a Pre/Post Student Assessment for students to analyze their own growth over the course of a year. The learner profiles include; inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open minded, caring, risk takers, balanced, reflective.
Divisibility Lesson Plan with Materials and Student Foldable
widenmo6684widenmo6684

Divisibility Lesson Plan with Materials and Student Foldable

(0)
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.

Magic Puzzle Boards -Solving Equations with One Variable

(1)
Place each puzzle piece so that each equation is connected to the matching value of x. Pairs of matching equations and x 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: Solving equations with one operation. Level 2: Solving equations with two operations 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

Ordering Decimal Numbers to the Thousandths Place Self Checking Puzzles

(1)
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! :)

Problem Solving Task_The Bunny Problem_Area/Perimeter/Arrays

(0)
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.

Divisibility: Lesson Plan and Activity, Graphic Organizer, Posters, and Game!

(0)
This bundle includes everything you need to help students construct an understanding of divisibility! Lesson Plan and Activity: Students are guided to test over 45 numbers for divisibility for numbers 1-10. They then use the numbers that are divisible by each divisor to develop a rule for each (as a class). This is a FUN activity which promotes active learning with a high engagement rate. Graphic Organizer: There are two front options and three options for the inside so you can customize how much you want your students to take notes vs. focus on creating the rules as a class. This aides in differentiation and can be a great time saver! Posters: There are four color posters which can be hung vertically to remind students of the divisibility rules from 1-10 (7 and 8 excluded). These are great when teaching about simplifying fractions and working with division/estimation. Game: The Tiger Escape Game which I have included allows students to practice what they have learned in a fun, easy to set up game. Students use their divisibility rules to move the tiger through the game board while checking to see which of the spaces along the path are divisible by the numbers 1-10 (7 and 8 excluded).

-Equivalent Fractions- A fun game for students to practice finding equivalent fractions. Students place each puzzle piece so that each fraction is connected to an equivalent fraction. Pairs of equivalent fractions 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: Simplest form and Equivalent Fraction Level 2: Equivalent Fractions without Simplest Form. 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.

These mazes are easy to set up and easy to use while providing practice for the skill of finding volume for rectangular prisms. Students are able to see that a particular volume can be reached by a variety of factors that equal the same product. This helps students identify commutativity with the factors. There are 4 game boards included. You can: Print each puzzle board, then laminate and let students use the tiger pieces to mark the correct spaces and the x’s for spaces that do not equal the target number. Or Print as worksheets on a full or half page and let students write directly on them.
