5th Grade Other (Math) Resources (by date, oldest first)

Introducing our interactive birthday celebration resource, "Birthday Blowout: Interactive Cake and Candle Celebration." Make every elementary student's birthday extra special with this engaging and customizable activity.

With this resource, you can create an interactive experience where students can virtually blow out candles on a birthday cake. Simply link it to your class calendar, and each day, you can easily navigate to the birthday celebration for that specific day.

Students can choose the number of candles based on their age (ranging from 3 to 11), select the type of cake, and even customize the birthday theme. Whether you're teaching remotely or in the classroom, this resource is compatible with video conferencing platforms and can be used on interactive whiteboards or any device connected to a screen.

Feel free to personalize the resource by changing the Bitmoji on the first and last slide to your own. Don't forget to update the student's name on the last slide before presenting.

Once the cake has been chosen and "Happy Birthday" is sung, the student will attempt to blow out the candles. As the teacher advances the slide, only the candles on the right will be blown out. Encourage the student to try again, blowing towards the left. On the third attempt, all the candles will be extinguished, accompanied by fireworks and a "Happy Birthday!" message displayed at the top of the screen.

Remember to use the resource in presentation mode and navigate using the mouse or touchpad. Avoid using the keyboard to advance the slides, as it may prevent you from reaching the last slide.

Make every student's birthday celebration unforgettable with "Birthday Blowout: Interactive Cake and Candle Celebration." Create a joyful and engaging experience that will bring smiles and excitement to your classroom or virtual learning environment. Get this resource today and celebrate birthdays in a whole new interactive way!

¡Celebra de forma interactiva todos los cumpleaños en primaria con este recurso único! Conéctalo, si lo deseas, a tu calendario de clase para que puedas acceder directamente a cada celebración en su día especial.

Permite a los estudiantes elegir la cantidad de velas según su edad (de 3 a 11), el tipo de pastel y hasta el tema del cumpleaños, ¡la diversión está garantizada!

Este recurso es versátil y se puede utilizar tanto en el aprendizaje a distancia a través de videoconferencias como en el salón de clase, utilizando una pizarra interactiva o cualquier otro dispositivo con pantalla.

Si lo prefieres, cambia el Bitmoji de la primera y última diapositiva por tu propia imagen y no olvides personalizar el nombre del alumno en la última diapositiva antes de la presentación.

La dinámica es emocionante: una vez elegido el pastel y entonado el "cumpleaños feliz", el alumno intentará soplar las velas. En ese momento, el profesor avanzará a la siguiente diapositiva. Si solo apaga las velas de la derecha, se le pedirá que lo intente nuevamente soplando más hacia la izquierda. Al hacerlo, apagará las velas de la izquierda pero dejará encendidas las del centro. En el último intento, logrará apagar todas las velas centrales y se sorprenderá con fuegos artificiales mientras aparece un emotivo "¡Feliz cumpleaños!" en la parte superior de la pantalla.

Para una experiencia óptima, asegúrate de utilizar solo el modo de presentación y controlar el progreso con el mouse o touch-pad. Evita utilizar el teclado para avanzar a la siguiente diapositiva, ya que esto podría interrumpir el emocionante final.

¡Prepárate para la diversión y la alegría en cada cumpleaños de tus estudiantes con esta encantadora actividad interactiva!

This package provides you with a total of 56 different questions you can ask your students in order to help you better understand their thought processes in mathematics. The first list is comprised of 21 general questions that could be used in other subject areas. The second list contains 35 subject specific questions related to the mathematical processes. This is a quick and easy list to carry around with you as you are taking a look at the work your students are doing.

Questions to dig deeper and better understand your students mathematical thinking. Questions focus on the 8 mathematical processes: Problem Solving Reasoning and Proving Reflecting Selecting Tools Selecting Computational Strategies Representing Connecting Communicating A few of the ways these cards may be used: * small group work, give one to each student based on observations/needs * small group work, whole group focus * whole group exit ticket question * student feedback - this is what I don't understand * wander and drop - give a specific question based on the observations.

This page provides you with a simple way to write anecdotal notes as you wander around the room observing your students working. This form is completely customizable allowing your to insert the goal, grade, term etc. There is space for each students name and a line for your comments/observations. This form is not subject specific.

I use this 27-card J'ai... Qui a? Game after my students have become familiar with the term "rapport partie à partie." This card game will require your students to be familiar with the difference, and recognize multiple ways a ratio can be represented in order for this game to be successful!

If you're unfamiliar, "J'ai... Qui a?" games are whole group activities which reinforce their ability to read and say what's on the cards. This is a great revision activity prior to assessment and I currently use it with my 6th graders; but it could easily be utilized in grade 7 as a warm-up, or a reach-back.

In this 5 page document, you will find:

• Explanation of the game and how to get started with examples.
• 27 pre-created cards with images to show ratios (hotdogs, hamburgers, salads, fries, juice, milkshakes, fruit, etc.).
• 1 page with blank card templates to create your own if you've got more than 27 students in your room.

I print this document single-sided on 8.5" x 11" paper, cut them out, and laminate them to use year after year.

Remember to have fun!

This ressource contains 52 cards and has enough material for 13 rounds if you play it like a classic game of Memory. Each round has:

• a percentage card,
• a fraction card,
• a decimal card and
• an image card.

There are so many ways your students can benefit from playing with these cards! Here are some ways I've used them in my own classroom.

• Print and cut all cards and make as many copies as you'll need for the number of groups/teams you'll be creating. Have your students work in groups of 3-6 playing a classic game of "Memory" where they'll need to find the pairs.
• Using just one form (drawing, percentage, or decimal number), pass them out to your students and have them get in line from least to greatest, or from greatest to least without talking!
• Using only two forms, pass out one card to each student. You'll only want to do this activity if you have an even number of students. Have your students try to find their "matching partner."
• Have your students play a game of "Headbanz" by holding their card up to their forehead without seeing it. They'll have to ask their partner questions to narrow down what's on their head! They might ask questions like "Am I a percentage? Am I a decimal number? Am I a fraction? Am I bigger than a half? Am I smaller than a half?" etc.
• I've also passed out 2 random cards to each student and have had them create a written math problem using what they got on their card, and then passing it to a friend to solve.
• You can also place one form for each time around your classroom on the walls and distribute the rest to your students. Have them run around the class finding their corresponding equivalent.

Whichever way you choose to use these cards, I keep them on hand for months while we work through decimals, fractions, percentages and place value. They're an "on-the-fly" activity for me - and I often leave it for substitute teachers as well.

Don't forget to have fun!

J'ai remarqué au fil des ans que mes élèves de 6e année sont nerveux à l'idée d'entrer en 7e année. Ils s'inquiètent pour les mathématiques et ont tellement de choses à retenir. En guise de petit cadeau de fin d'année, je les imprime sur du papier 8,5 x 14 et les plastifie.

Vous ne considéreriez (peut-être!) pas quelque chose comme ça comme un "cadeau", mais mes enfants de 11 et 12 ans ont poussé un soupir de soulagement et sont convaincus qu'ils pourront s'y référer pour les années à venir !

Sur cet aide-mémoire pratique, j'ai donné des visuels pour aider vos élèves à se souvenir :

• PEDMAS et règles d'ordre des opérations
• Division et vocabulaire dans une division (diviseur, dividende, quotient, reste)
• Un tableau d'équivalence décimale (avec décimaux, fractions et pourcentages)
• Comment trouver des fractions équivalentes (multiplication et division)
• Règles de divisibilité (de 1 à 12)
• Tableau de pourcentage et de conversion
• Astuces pour multiplier et diviser par des multiples de 10
• Types de triangles (rectangle, acutangle, obtusangle, scalène, isocèle, équilatéral)
• Angles (aigu, droit, obtus, plat, rentrant, tour complet)
• Astuce pour angle manquant dans un quadrilatère (A + B + C + D = 360)
• Astuce pour angle manquant dans un triangle (A + B + C = 180)
• Transformations géométriques (translations, rotations et réflexions) avec exemples
• Formules pour mesurer le volume, l'aire et le périmètre
• Valeur de position pour les nombres entiers et les nombres décimaux

Looking for a printable fraction bundle to help your students visualize, draw and understand parts of a whole? This is part of a larger collection of math manipulatives and visual aides I use in my teaching!

Because fractions in all their forms are universal, this package can be used in any language.

This particular set is built for teaching fractional representation and includes fraction circles, standard fractions and fraction strips. 45 cards for each set give you a total of 135 cards to print, laminate and use in your teaching (they work great under a document camera, for 1:1 or whole group games, for math centres, for your small group work, etc.) You can also use parts as a memory game or they can even be used on a math wall or on your anchor charts.

They're precise, accurate, tidy and printer-friendly.

Hope they help you help your kids!

This is a real-life lesson that encourages students to evaluate taxable income based on one's income and the marginal tax bracket. Kids will love this and have a great time discussing the occupations and how much each is taxed. This lesson does not go as far as to discuss personal deductions and standard deductions, which would lower your taxable income. That is for another day. This is a simple introduction to how Federal taxes are collected.

Focuses on taxable Income, understanding taxes, calculating taxes

Easel Activity Included

OBJECTIVE

• The learner will be able to calculate taxable income based on tax brackets based on percentages.
• The learner will understand the purpose of taxation and the difference between state and federal tax.

MATERIALS

• Occupation Game Cards (1 set of 24 per group) and
• Chart (1 per student)
• Game Instructions

PREPARATION

o Set up the classroom desks or tables so that students are sitting in groups of two or three.

INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)

Ask students:

Available with purchase

GAME INSTRUCTIONS

Divide students into groups of two or three. Each group will receive a set of Occupation Game Cards. It is suggested that you laminate the cards, cut them, and place them in zip-lock bags so they can be used every year.

Students will be directed to place all cards face down. Distribute the Marginal Tax Bracket Chart.

Students within the group will take turns turning over an Occupation Game Card. Each will write the occupation, taxable income, and income tax percent using the Marginal Tax Bracket Chart provided on each student’s activity sheet (see below). Students will work together to calculate the income tax and lifetime total.

Alternative: you may have students compete against those within their team as another way to play, rather than having one group compete against the other groups in the class. Whatever works best for your students and classroom environment is the best route to take.

The goal is to reach a lifetime total of 100,000 taxable incomes to win. This will require multiple games, or to make it more challenging, raise the Lifetime taxable income goal to 150,000 or 200,000, which will make the game run longer.

Students can create charts on notebook paper for additional games.

Once they reach the lifetime goal, they win that round. Then have them play again.
