A hands-on lesson where students become space station architects, learning to calculate the total area of complex rectilinear modules by decomposing them into simpler rectangles.

A hands-on lesson focused on comparing and ordering fractions using benchmarks, common numerators, and common denominators through a maritime-themed sorting activity.

A high-energy lesson focused on comparing fractions through a competitive card game and supporting practice activities, perfect for short math rotations.

Students will measure leaf and stem specimens to the nearest 1/8 inch, create line plots to represent their data, and perform addition and subtraction with fractions to compare measurements.

A comprehensive review of 3rd-grade fraction standards (3.NF.A.1, 3.NF.A.2, 3.NF.A.3), covering unit fractions, number lines, and equivalency.

A 4th-grade math lesson using the Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) framework to teach plotting mixed numbers on a number line within a botanist-themed greenhouse setting.

A collection of six high-energy rotation activities covering 3rd-grade Arizona math standards for fractions (NF.1, NF.2, and NF.3). Students engage with partitioning, number lines, equivalence, and comparison through worksheets, task cards, and hands-on sorting.

A high-energy math center rotation based on fraction standards NF.1, NF.2, and NF.3, themed around a car racing championship. Students navigate through color-coded 'Speed Zones' to practice equivalence, number lines, and comparison.

A lesson focused on interpreting line plots and performing subtraction with fractional data points, themed around a backyard nature study.

A focused 15-minute measurement practice focusing on real-world word problems involving time, mass, volume, and distance. Students apply the four operations to solve logistics-themed measurement challenges.

A fast-paced, collaborative lesson where students use a pizza parlor theme to master comparing fractions with either the same numerator or the same denominator. Students will visualize 'slices' to understand why a larger denominator actually means smaller pieces.

A fast-paced, collaborative lesson where students compare fractions using a food truck theme. Students learn to compare fractions with either the same numerator or the same denominator using visual models and logical reasoning.

A focused lesson on interpreting line plots and performing addition with mixed numbers that have common denominators.

A focused 15-minute practice session on interpreting line plots and adding fractions with like denominators based on data points.
