Posted on by

This is a 10 day unit with TEKS: 4.2A 4.2B 4.2C 4.2E 4.2F 4.2H 4.3G

Place Value of Whole Numbers and Decimals- Complete Lesson Plans for teaching students to Interpret the Base-10 System, Represent whole numbers and decimals in standard, word, expanded form and expanded notation, Compare and order whole numbers and decimals (using models), Represent decimals on number lines, decimal disks, decimal grids, base-10 blocks, & money, and Determine the corresponding decimal to the tenths or hundreds on number lines!

I have broken down each TEK into Learning Targets to make it easier to track student progress and make working in a PLC easier. There are 10 skills in this unit! Each learning target contains intervention and enrichment skills. A student data sheet is included for students to reflect on their own learning for the unit. A teacher tracking sheet is included to make small group instruction easier!

Each day contains objective, learning targets, materials, whole class teaching activity, guided math activity and closure with an exit ticket and answer key for most days. You can use the Learning Targets to get ideas on Intervention and Enrichment skills.
Whole Class teaching in this unit contains:
Mini Lessons (Connection, Teaching Point, Active Engagement and Link to Ongoing Learning)
Games

Games and Engagement Activities in this unit include:
Speed Date Create
Make your Own Decimal Comparison Problems
SCOOT
2 Truths and a Lie
Mirror
Draw a Value
Mystery Challenge- The Case of the Missing Class Pet

This unit is designed to print and go! I keep mine in a binder. You can put each day and all of the materials for that day in one sheet protector.

I hope this unit helps you with Guided Math by providing a whole class teach, active engagement, guided math activities and exit tickets for almost everyday- you can’t beat $1.25 per day for a complete unit!

Building Blocks: Whole Number Addition and Subtraction

In the early stages, students will strengthen their foundation in whole number addition and subtraction. Encourage the use of concrete objects and visual aids to help them grasp the concept of combining and separating quantities. As they progress, gradually transition to mental strategies, promoting the development of fluency in recalling basic addition and subtraction facts. Incorporate real-life problems to foster critical thinking and application of mathematical skills.

Multiplication Marvels: From Two to Three Digits

The multiplication journey begins with understanding the concept of repeated addition. Progressing towards fluency involves introducing two-digit by two-digit multiplication, where students can apply strategies such as partial products or the area model. Gradually, shift their focus to three-digit by two-digit multiplication, emphasizing the importance of place value. Encourage the use of mental math and various multiplication strategies to enhance speed and accuracy.

Division Discovery: Moving from Two to Four Digits

Students should embark on the division adventure by mastering the basics of two-digit divisors and gradually progressing to more complex problems with four-digit dividends. Place value plays a crucial role in understanding division, so ensure students are comfortable with this concept. Introduce long division as a standard algorithm, providing ample opportunities for practice and application in solving real-world problems.

Have fun while working with Elapsed Time! This activity is a scavenger hunt with a connect the pictures answer sheet! These problems are 1 and 2 step start or end time word problems. Each problem leads to a new problem until the student gets back to their start picture! The answers are analog clocks to give students extra practice telling time.

These questions are STAAR ready! Use them as part of your active engage during the lesson, in stations or for fast finishers. The answer sheet is in a number line form to practice this strategy!

Elapsed Time Intervention SCOOT 3.7C

Posted on by

This elapsed time scoot works perfect for intervention! If you need a quick activity for students to practice elapsed time on a number line, without reading a word problem this will help. The number line is included on each card, but I would have students draw their own line to practice!

Use these cards in small group or with a whole class that needs a little extra help!

**This activity is included in Unit 12 Measurement 3.6C 3.6D 3.7B 3.7C 3.7D 3.7E
