A foundational lesson designed for SIFE students to understand fractions greater than one using visual models and fraction strips. Focuses on bridging concrete models to number lines with minimal text reliance.

A foundational lesson on equivalent fractions using area models and number lines, styled as architectural blueprints to emphasize precision and measurement.

Analyzing and creating line plots to represent measurement data.

Using fraction equivalence to measure and record lengths accurately.

Expanding measurement skills to fourths of an inch and practicing with mixed numbers.

Introduction to measuring length in halves of an inch and understanding mixed numbers.

A hands-on geometry lesson where students act as urban planners to design a community park using area and perimeter calculations.

A collection of multi-step word problem challenges focused on mastering the four operations through a detective-themed investigation. Students apply critical thinking to identify operations and solve complex scenarios.

A comprehensive slide deck covering measurement in inches (halves and fourths) and interpreting data on line plots, provided in both English and Japanese.

A cumulative review of all standards covered in the 10-day intensive program.

Strategies for solving two-step word problems involving addition, subtraction, and multiplication with unknowns.

Covers finding the perimeter of polygons, including finding unknown side lengths.

Uses partitioning of rectangles to illustrate the distributive property and additive nature of area.

Introduces area through tiling and relates it to multiplication of side lengths.

Focuses on comparing fractions with the same numerator by reasoning about the size of the denominator.

Teaches comparing fractions with the same denominator using area and length models.

Focuses on thirds and sixths using length models (number lines) to find equivalent fractions.

Covers composing and decomposing fractions into equivalent fractions using area models for halves, fourths, and eighths.

Focuses on expressing whole numbers as fractions and understanding that fractions with the same numerator and denominator equal one whole.

A comprehensive unit on finding the perimeter of various polygons, including unknown side lengths and real-world word problems, themed around architectural blueprints.

A 5-day morning work packet focusing on 3rd-grade math standards including multi-digit addition/subtraction, multiplication fluency, and unknown-factor relationship problems. Students navigate a retro video game theme to master their skills.

An explicit instruction lesson on elapsed time for 3rd graders, focusing on finding start and end times using the 'Mountain, Hill, Rock' number line strategy. Students will practice jumping through hours and minutes to solve real-world problems.
