Time Masterminds

A complete series of independent math box activities designed to master telling time, comparing intervals, and calculating elapsed time. Students progress through scaffolded challenges in time logic, chronological sequencing, and temporal shifts.

Michelle Goode

Grid Builders

A structured lesson focusing on representing decimals using base-ten drawings and performing vertical decimal addition with regrouping in the tenths column using grid alignment tools.

Michelle Sosnoff

Grid Architects Student Work Packet

A four-level student math work packet styled as a technical drafting blueprint. Students model decimals using base-ten block drawings, align values in custom decimal grids, and perform decimal addition with carrying in the tenths.

Fraction Operations

An advanced extension packet covering all 20 lessons of Unit 3, focused on abstract pattern exploration, number play, and algebraic relationships with fractions.

nmack

Marble Matchups

A lesson focused on conceptual division and multi-representation solving using a marble-sharing word problem. Students explore equal sharing groups, tape diagrams, and algebraic equations side-by-side to build a deep understanding of division.

Kaitlyn Braschayko

Star Grids Answer Key

The teacher answer key for the Star Grids Practice Packet. It features high-fidelity visual replicas of the 4 space-themed levels, with completed base-ten drawings (showing grouped rods for regrouping) and math grids filled in with red handwriting-style indicators for quick visual inspection.

Michelle Sosnoff

Decimal Expeditions

A complete sequence on decimal addition and regrouping. Students transition from modeling tenths with architectural blueprints to mastering computational algorithms through cosmic missions and space exploration calculations.

Michelle Sosnoff

Planet Proportions

A focused lesson on finding constant of proportionality, writing equations, and graphing proportional relationships through interstellar weight and scale conversions.

Hardy

Star Grids Practice Packet

A clean, premium light-themed 4-page student work packet with a white background for easy printing. Terms have been updated to 'Flats' and 'Rods' for base-ten alignment.
