Student worksheet for Lesson 5 (Double Up). Includes a doubling accelerator chart for 2s and 4s, a challenge on halving facts, and a real-world word problem about tires in a parking lot using the double-double strategy.
Lesson 5 slides on 'Double Up' strategy for 2s and 4s. Teaches the 'double-double' method through visual patterns and mental math routines. Includes a step-by-step breakdown of multiplying by 4.
Student worksheet for Lesson 4 (Family Ties). Features fact family houses to complete, a 'Think Multiplication' strategy section for solving division, and an area for students to draw their own array and generate a corresponding fact family.
Lesson 4 slides on Fact Families and Inverse Operations. Uses 'The Missing Piece' warm-up and a 'Fact Family House' visual to connect multiplication and division. Includes conceptual explanations of how multiplication helps with division.
Student worksheet for Lesson 3 (Reverse Engineering). Practice partitioning items into jars and grouping items to find the number of racks. Connects multiplication facts to division problems in the investigator's notes.
Lesson 3 slides introducing division as the inverse of multiplication. Explains partitioning versus grouping and introduces formal division notation using a 'Reverse Engineering' theme.
Student worksheet for Lesson 2 (Array Architecture). Focuses on labeling rows and columns, drafting arrays from expressions, and solving a 'Brick Wall' array word problem.
Lesson 2 slides on Array Architecture. Introduces rows and columns using 'Which One Doesn't Belong?', anatomy of an array diagrams, and real-world array connections.
Teacher facilitation guide for Lesson 1 (Group Power). Includes pacing, high-leverage concepts from ALN, IM routines, specific teacher prompts for the Number Talk, and an answer key for the student worksheet.
Student worksheet for Lesson 1 (Group Power). Features problems on identifying equal groups, drawing groups from expressions, and a word problem scenario with Beetle jars. Includes an exit ticket section.
Lesson 1 visual slide deck introducing the concept of equal groups and multiplication notation. Includes a 'How Many Do You See?' warm-up, real-world examples, and a 'Notice and Wonder' prompt.
A visual presentation for teaching the US standard algorithm for subtraction up to 6 digits. Includes place value concepts, regrouping rules ("More on the floor? Go next door!"), and a step-by-step walkthrough of the blueprint method.
An instructional guide for teachers providing best practices, common pitfalls, and differentiation strategies for teaching the US standard algorithm for subtraction up to 6 digits.
A blank 6-digit place value organizer designed for multi-step subtraction using the standard algorithm. Includes dedicated rows for regrouping/borrowing and clear column alignment up to the hundred thousands place.

Session 11 slides challenging students to write their own story problems for given fraction division expressions.
Session 10 Lab Sheet. Students apply multiple strategies (visual and procedural) to solve a complex garden-themed word problem.
Session 10 slides focusing on multi-step and contextual problems involving fraction division.
A daily warm-up sheet covering one full week (Monday-Friday) with targeted practice in budgeting and ratio simplification. Includes a comprehensive review section for Friday.
Session 9 Lab Sheet. Students practice the 'invert and multiply' algorithm while maintaining a connection to estimation and conceptual logic.
Session 9 slides formalizing the 'invert and multiply' algorithm (Keep-Change-Flip) for fraction division.
Session 8 Lab Sheet. Students explore the concept of reciprocals and verify the relationship between fraction division and multiplication by the reciprocal.
