Math Workshop Setup

A comprehensive statistical unit designed for 6th-grade students to master Washington State standard M.6.DA.DS.3. Students explore measures of center (mean, median) and variability (range, interquartile range) through real-world distributions and context-rich data stories. This sequence guides students from conceptualizing center as a summary of data to measuring variation as a descriptor of spread.

A Year 1 math lesson focusing on commutative addition through engaging food and treat storytelling. Students explore how changing the order of two added groups does not change the overall total (commutativity), supported by a visual slide deck and a 'Draw Your Own Story' companion worksheet.

A 3-page student companion worksheet for 'Sweet Sums Storytelling'. It features guided templates for commutative addition stories (cupcakes, user's choice) and a dedicated 'Subtraction Swap' investigation page where students test if subtraction is commutative with bees.

A comprehensive toolkit of premium third-grade writing and mathematics lessons tailored to core academic standards, featuring highly scaffolded and student-friendly designs.

A middle school getting-to-know-you math lesson that reduces anxiety, builds classroom community, practices collaborative norms, and gathers soft diagnostic data. Students create 'Figure Me Out' personal infographics, participate in a movement-based task card icebreaker, and reflect on their math identity.

An interactive, highly visual 8-slide presentation designed for Year 1 instruction. It introduces commutative addition through animated-style food stories and features a 'Math Mystery' subtraction investigation with bees to test whether commutativity applies to subtraction.

A comprehensive 4-lesson sequence focused on mastering 3-digit subtraction, starting from standard alignment without regrouping to complex borrowing across zeros and mixed multi-digit addition/subtraction review.

A summer-themed math review lesson designed for rising 2nd graders to maintain and strengthen math fluency. Focuses on addition/subtraction within 20, place value, and essential first-grade spiral topics through a fun island-themed adventure.

A 1-page exit ticket featuring a 3-2-1 reflection on math identity, a soft-diagnostic personal equation challenge, and a peer collaboration affirmation.

A 5-day conceptual unit themed around a local bakery where students use concrete area models (pies, cakes, and brownies) to master identifying and naming fractions, designed for students 3 grade levels below 6th grade.

A masterclass lesson focused on solving multi-step linear equations, applying the distributive property, and isolating variables in literal equations. Students solve complex problems and model real-world scenarios through geometric relationships.

An interactive, 6-slide presentation deck (16:9 aspect ratio) to guide students through establishing positive math identities, cooperative game rules, and student work requirements.
