School is about to begin!

It's almost time for school to begin!!  We will be "back to the grind" this coming Tuesday!  I am really looking forward to the upcoming year!  During our PD this past week, we talked a lot about the Common Core and how Howell Schools will be transitioning from the state GLCEs to the Common Core standards.  One of the ideas that we talked a lot about is how important it is for students to be a part of their learning and assessment.  Our presenter showed some examples of ideas that other teachers have used to involve students in this way.  I created a resource that I will be using in my classroom this year for all subjects and many different learning goals.  I think this resource will really help students take a look at their progress and see how their efforts are helping accomplish their goals.

Fractions Dice Games

We have focused a lot on fractions this year!  Our MEAP scores show that is an area that is quite tricky for our students, so we've been practicing a lot!!  I created this printable to help my students compare and order fractions in a fun format using dice.  We played this morning and they had a blast!  Who says math can't be fun!? :)

Area & Perimeter Challenge!

My students have been working with area and perimeter over the last couple weeks.  I wanted to create a challenge for them using area and perimeter.  You can download this printable at my Teachers Pay Teachers Store!  Enjoy!
