Graphing Worksheets & Activities
These graphing worksheets and activities are a huge help in my math instruction. I kind of don't have a unit for teaching data analysis and graphing. Technically, I do have one (here it is), but I don't teach it lesson by lesson. Instead, I incorporate the graphing worksheets and
Teaching Division Concepts
We know that teaching division concepts can be tricky and confusing for many students. When teaching 3rd grade, this was the unit when a large group of students would begin to fall behind. There are so many potential reasons for this struggle: lack of number sense, multiplication
Multiply Fractions by a Whole Number
Teaching students to multiply fractions by a whole number doesn't have to be terrible! When you throw the terms "multiply" and "fractions" in the same standard, it can sound a bit daunting. Fortunately, if students have a sound understanding of multiplication and fractions, this
Adding and Subtracting Fractions
Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators typically isn't introduced until fifth grade, so this concept isn't too difficult for fourth graders. The most common mistake is for students to add or subtract the denominator, because they aren't thinking about the
Comparing Fractions
This post includes some of my favorite lessons for teaching students to compare fractions with strategies such as: common numerator, common denominator, benchmark numbers, the missing piece, and equivalent fractions. The goal of the lessons is to help students develop concepts of
Equivalent Fractions
In my Fraction Unit there is a heavy emphasis on equivalent fractions. As students develop their fraction number sense, they typically come to the realization that some same-size fractions have different names. This gives a natural transition to teaching equivalent
Fractions on a Number Line
This post highlights four of my favorite lessons for teaching fractions on a number line. These are lessons I use with my fourth grade students. When I was teaching third grade, I used very similar lessons and incorporated a bit more practice. You can read more about third grade
Teaching Fractions Conceptually
In this post I've shared some of my favorite lessons for teaching fraction concepts. These lessons are designed to introduce fractions in a conceptual and meaningful way that doesn't overly rely on rules or procedures.
Most of these teaching fractions lessons can be used for
Multiplying With Area Models and Partial Product
Teaching multiplying with area models and partial product is a major component of fourth grade math. Before teaching multi-digit multiplication there are many concepts that are essential for student success. You can read more about those lessons here. A solid understanding of
