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.
Each game has a procedures page, additional materials pages if needed, as well as a student recording sheet for enhanced accountability as they practice their skills with these activities.
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).
The Next Generation Science and Engineering Standards include 8 Practices which are vital for students to acquire and use as they become active participants in investigating their world. These pennants give a visual representation of the standards and can be used in a variety of ways to remind students (and teachers!) that alongside the content standards, there are practices that guide us to be successful.
A quick and easy way to help students recognize patterns in numerical sequences.
Minimal set-up required!
Easy to understand rules for game play.
An excellent choice for math stations!
Includes:
12 pairs of “Sequence and Rule” cards
Printable backing for cards
Procedures page.

Students need to learn about the language of mathematics through repeated opportunities to use and think critically about the words we use.
There are varying levels of complexity with the words included in this bundle and could be used in classrooms from 3rd grade up to High School (Tip: check the words included to ensure you will be happy with the words in this set).
These cards include images and definitions and can be used for a word wall, easily converted to flashcards (print more than one page per sheet to make these smaller), and are wonderful for use with the sample activity I have added to this product.
You can view a full preview of this product at my TeachersPayTeachers store to ensure this file will work for your classroom and email me at widenmo6684@gmail.com if you would like to see specific words added or a customization to this product.

Parenthesis Brackets and Braces Differentiated Task Cards
(Color and Black/White Option Included)
Common Core Aligned
These task cards are broken into 4 levels of difficulty, including two levels integrated into base ten topics. Students practice proper usage of these grouping symbols as a precursor to formal Order of Operations.
#1-10 (2-3 operations)
#11-20 (2-3 operations and embedded grouping symbols)
#20-30 (operations/embedded grouping symbols with powers of 10)
#30-40 (operations/embedded grouping symbols with decimals)
Tips for Classroom Use
-Place/Hang these in an area of the room where students can use them when they are finished with other work for extra practice.
-Choose the section of these cards which is just right for working in small groups.
-Let students check these out for practice at home, a great way to differentiate homework!

Each Journal Page Includes:
Two reflection prompts to respond to
A "pre" goal setting survey
A goal setting scaffold
A "post" goal setting survey
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!

The 8 mathematical practices are important for students to understand as they engage in rigorous mathematical tasks and learn to understand how the language of mathematics works.
These classroom pennants will help remind students to think about the processes they are using as they develop new 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.

A fun game for students to practice finding equivalent values for mixed numbers and improper fractions. 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: Fractions with benchmark denominants.
Level 2: Fractions with whole number values greater than five and non benchmark denominants.
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.
-Equivalent Fractions-
