Students use bank account contexts to add and subtract signed decimals, visualizing changes on a vertical number line.
An introductory lesson focused on the multiplicative relationship between place values and the formal representation of decimals through various forms and comparisons.
A comprehensive lesson on rounding numbers, specially designed for students with IEPs. Covers rounding to the nearest 10, 100, whole number, and largest place value using visual aids and scaffolded practice.
A modified coordinate plane lesson for IEP students focusing on plotting points in all four quadrants to create a seasonal flower image. Includes scaffolding such as color-coding and directional prompts.
A high-energy, spy-themed review of the order of operations featuring nested groupings (parentheses, brackets, braces), exponents, and decimal operations. Students take on the role of codebreakers to solve complex numerical missions.
A comprehensive lesson on plotting points, identifying quadrilaterals, and calculating distances on the coordinate plane. Students use cartography-themed materials to master 6th-grade geometry and number system standards.
An introduction to the coordinate plane, focusing on identifying the x-axis, y-axis, and the origin to begin plotting ordered pairs.
A beginner-friendly introduction to the four-quadrant coordinate plane, specifically designed with scaffolding and visual aids for students with diverse learning needs. Students will practice plotting points to reveal basic shapes, emojis, holiday symbols, and characters.
An engaging, hands-on lesson for 5th graders on adding fractions with like and unlike denominators. Uses a pizzeria theme to make abstract concepts concrete and relatable for students who struggle with engagement.
A simplified introduction to plotting points on a coordinate plane (Quadrant 1) to create the signature "Brantley". Designed specifically for IEP students with large grids and clear instructions.
Students learn to plot coordinates to form letters and their own names. This lesson includes differentiated materials for Quadrant I, simplified 5x5 grids, and all four quadrants, with built-in tracing supports for IEP students.
Day 5 concludes with statistics, probability, and a mixed challenge review of all concepts.
Day 4 explores geometry concepts including area, volume, and angle relationships.
