A cumulative review lesson where students apply their knowledge of inverse operations to solve mixed one-step equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Expanding algebraic thinking to multiplication and division. Students will learn how to 'undo' multiplication by splitting into equal groups (division) and 'undo' division through multiplication, maintaining the balance of the scale.

A foundational introduction to basic algebra using the balance scale analogy, specifically designed for students working at a 3rd-grade level. Students will learn about variables and the concept of inverse operations to 'undo' addition and subtraction.

This lesson focuses on mastering three-digit subtraction with regrouping using color-coded visual supports and step-by-step procedural breakdowns. Designed with Special Education accommodations in mind, students will learn to navigate place value shifts from ones to tens and tens to hundreds.

Teaches students to identify fractions within a group of discrete objects (sets), rather than a single continuous whole.

Explores fractions that represent more than one whole, using visual models and decomposition to understand values like 6/4 and 8/6.

Focuses on identifying parts of a whole, understanding numerators and denominators, and modeling fractions by dividing shapes into equal parts.

A high-energy lesson focused on mastering double-digit addition and subtraction with regrouping through a 'Tactical Mission' theme. Students practice vertical alignment and precision in their calculations.

Students learn to generate equivalent fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number, using bakery-themed visual models like cake pans and bread loaves to bridge the gap between concrete and abstract math.

A lesson focused on place value through expanded form and rounding techniques using number lines as visual aids. Students practice with four- and five-digit numbers to master precision in estimation.

A concluding lesson for review, real-world application of all fraction concepts, and a summative assessment to measure growth.

A hands-on introduction to equivalent fractions using visual models and number lines to see how different fractions can represent the same amount.

An exploration of unit fractions, emphasizing that as the denominator increases, the size of the fractional part decreases.

Focuses on representing fractions on a number line, treating the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and identifying fractional points.

An introductory lesson focused on identifying student gaps via diagnostic and teaching the core concept of equal parts and partitioning shapes into halves, thirds, and fourths.

A comprehensive lesson on 3-digit subtraction with a single regrouping (borrowing) step, using visual models and structured practice.

A fun, bakery-themed lesson focusing on solving double-digit addition word problems. Students will learn to identify key information in stories and use addition strategies to find the total number of tasty treats.
