Fantasy-narrative escape-room lesson (Lesson 3 of 4) teaching multiplication and division through a guided puzzle adventure involving a trickster dragon.
Here’s a fun, engaging, and visual personal finance lesson for middle grades students in the fourth through six grades. They can use the math they have been learning in the classroom applied to a real-life scenario: learning how to…
French Math: Nombres et opérations 3 - Plan de leçon numérique An. 6-8 | MAC Software MAC Software is a digital lesson plan ideal for instructors including public school teachers and homeschoolers.
Practice multiplying up to four-digit numbers by one digit and multiplying two two-digit numbers. The 4.NBT.5 pages include multiplication problems and directions to explain calculations using equations, rectangular arrays, or area models. Use the pages for a focused practice session after introducing a strategy. Have students compare methods for the same problem and explain how place value supports their calculations. The download also includes broader workbook and assessment answer-key files.
This lesson is great for fourth grade teachers looking to cover the common core standard 4.NBT.6. This standard focuses on students dividing a multi-digit whole number by a single digit.
This lesson is designed to help fifth grade students master multiplying a fraction or mixed number by another fraction, in alignment with Common Core standards. This is a difficult concept for many students, so this lesson includes a variety of activities to keep them engaged.
Day 1 of a week-long unit pairing a 'Self-Employed Framer' real-world siding/measurement problem with Native American (Ottawa/Chippewa) building history, inductive multiplication fact fluency, and writing.
Day 2 of the framing-workers unit: same 'Self-Employed Framer' siding scenario re-run with different measurements (120-inch lengths, 8-1/4" wide pieces, 1/4" overlap), reinforcing unit-conversion and fraction skills alongside fact fluency and reading/writing.
Day 3 of the framing-workers unit: siding word problem re-run using yard-based measurements (3-yard lengths, 7-1/2" wide pieces, 1-1/2" overlap).
Day 4 of the framing-workers unit: siding word problem re-run using yard-based measurements (3-yard lengths, 4-1/4" wide pieces, 1-1/4" overlap), building toward the Friday culminating art project and writing piece.
Day 1 of a mason-themed inductive math unit tying real-world area, cost, and profit word problems to the history of masonry (linked to Ancient China / Native American earthen-shelter history).
Day 3 of the masons unit, using a 9-yard by 9-foot wall scenario to continue practicing area, cost, and profit word problems at a higher multiplication-fact level.
A cross-curricular weekly unit lesson plan (Day 1) that uses a real-world IT-director math problem (measuring fiber optic cable, converting units, cost calculation) to teach measurement/radius-diameter math skills alongside close reading, vocabulary, and writing, linked to an Ancient India social studies theme.
A cross-curricular weekly unit lesson plan (Day 2) that uses a real-world IT-director math problem (measuring fiber optic cable, converting units, cost calculation) to teach measurement/radius-diameter math skills alongside close reading, vocabulary, and writing, linked to an Ancient India social studies theme.
A cross-curricular weekly unit lesson plan (Day 3) that uses a real-world IT-director math problem (measuring fiber optic cable, converting units, cost calculation) to teach measurement/radius-diameter math skills alongside close reading, vocabulary, and writing, linked to an Ancient India social studies theme.
Teach and provide guided practice for dividing by 1-digit divisors, including dividing multiples of 10/100, estimating quotients, and the standard division algorithm (including quotients with zeros), aligned to (but not excerpted from) the Envision Math Grade 5 Topic 4 curriculum sequence.
Teach and provide guided practice for dividing by 2-digit divisors, including pattern-based mental strategies, estimating quotients, dividing by multiples of 10, and the standard algorithm for 1-digit and 2-digit quotients with greater numbers, aligned to (but not excerpted from) the Envision Math Grade 5 Topic 5 curriculum sequence.
Guided notes and a quiz that teach and assess multiplying decimals (by powers of ten, estimation, decimal-by-decimal, decimal-by-whole-number, and area models), aligned to Envision Math Grade 5 Topic 6.
Fantasy-narrative escape-room lesson (Lesson 4 of 4, final installment) teaching multiplication and division through a guided puzzle adventure culminating the dragon-quest series.
Teach four Grade 6 fraction-operations topics: adding/subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators, multiplying mixed numbers, and dividing fractions/mixed numbers.
A full-day emergency substitute teacher lesson plan packet for 4th grade combining social studies, reading, writing, and math around the theme of great explorers (Neil Armstrong, Lewis and Clark, Robert Ballard).
A math mini-unit teaching students to calculate unit price (price-per-ounce) to compare grocery values and understand inflation/shrinkflation concepts.
A Common Core-aligned full-day substitute teacher plan for 4th grade built around a 'Heroes' theme, combining reading, social studies/character education, writing, and math activities for a sub or regular teacher to run a complete school day.
Cross-curricular non-fiction reading unit teaching students about the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower, both designed by Gustave Eiffel, combining reading comprehension with math word problems (engineering/measurement context).
