Cette unité d'enseignement sans papier de 56 pages vous permettra d'enseigner confortablement et efficacement l'estimation et l'arondissement à vos élèves... SANS imprimer, SANS corriger, SANS créer.

Mes produits incluent du contenu pédagogique, des jeux, des exemples et des incitations pour que vos élèves s'entraînent avec des partenaires et de manière indépendante pour montrer leur compréhension. Mes diapositives contiennent des stratégies, des exemples guidés et des moyens de faire réfléchir vos élèves en profondeur. Ils incluent des clés de réponse après chaque question pour aider vos élèves à comprendre la réponse ou où ils se sont trompés.

Mes unités fonctionnent très bien pour l'apprentissage en ligne, comme activités centrées sur le centre, comme devoirs, comme apprentissage supplémentaire ou (comme je les utilise) comme contenu pédagogique et explicite.

Je ne sais pas si c'est à cause du COVID, mais mes élèves semblent avoir oublié comment estimer et ce que signifie estimer ou arrondir un nombre.

Cet outil aidera vos élèves à se souvenir des outils, des astuces et des stratégies. Je reviens à l'essentiel sur les raisons pour lesquelles nous estimons et les façons dont nous estimons dans la vraie vie. Les élèves auront de nombreuses occasions de discuter, de travailler avec des partenaires, de travailler de manière indépendante et de jouer à des jeux qui les aident à se familiariser et à se sentir plus en confiance avec :

• arrondir les nombres avec la règle 0-4 et 5-9,
• utiliser des stratégies d'estimation pour additionner et soustraire,
• utiliser des stratégies d'estimation pour multiplier et diviser.

Je fournis des instructions guidées qui permettent une libération progressive vers l'indépendance et vous facilitez simplement en parcourant les diapositives.

J'enseigne à une classe combinée de 5e et 6e année et ces présentations sont conçues pour ce groupe d'élèves plus âgés. Ils ne sont pas enfantins, ils n'utilisent pas de polices ou d'images enfantines et vont droit au but. Ils offrent exactement ce dont vous avez besoin pour donner à vos élèves exactement ce dont ils ont besoin pour vraiment comprendre et se sentir confiants et capables.

Que vous soyez un nouvel enseignant peu familiarisé avec les concepts mathématiques, un enseignant chevronné qui est juste fatigué, ou peut-être un enseignant couvrant un contrat à court terme et ne sachant pas par où commencer, mes produits sont faits pour vous et vos élèves.

Si vous êtes intéressés par mes produits, assurez-vous de vous inscrire à ma boutique pour être averti lorsque je crée de nouveaux produits ou lance des ventes. Vous pouvez également me rejoindre sur Facebook, où je partage des cadeaux et préviens à l'avance les ventes à venir.

Merci! Je vous apprécie énormément!

Ce document de 40 pages est tout ce qu'il vous faut pour enseigner efficacement comment balancer les équations et comprendre les équations algébriques.

Il s'agit d'un produit des mathématiques haut de gamme qui vous permettra d'enseigner sans livres, sans cahier, sans papier, sans impression. Mes élèves utilisent des mini-tableaux blancs et des marqueurs effaçables à sec et j'enseigne à l'aide d'un modèle d'atelier. Ceci, ainsi que tous mes bundles et documents, ne nécessite aucune préparation ni planification. Les diapositives vous guideront et expliqueront le matériel, guideront vos élèves et vous permettront d'avoir plus de temps pour évaluer et aider.

Permettez-moi d'enseigner les équations POUR vous ! Vos élèves multi-nivelés seront engagés et suivront pas à pas, de la pratique partagée au travail indépendant. Ces diapositives vous guideront dans votre enseignement et vous permettront de suivre un modèle d'atelier (même si vous n'êtes pas familier ou mal à l'aise avec !). Ils vous obligent à ralentir, à procéder étape par étape, à modeler les exemples à vos élèves et à les faire travailler en partenariat et seuls pour prouver leur compréhension. 

Il convient pour la 5e ou la 6e année ou comme révision au début de la 7e année. Tout mon matériel est mature et construit pour ne pas avoir l'air enfantin. C'est engageant, simplifié et très visuel.

Je couvre tout ce que vos élèves doivent savoir sur les équations algébriques, y compris :

• Comprendre les variables
• La différence entre une expression et une équation
• L'importance de la signe d'égalité
• Utiliser le concept d'équilibre
• Comprendre a propriété commutative
• Exprimer de façon symbolique une représentation imagée ou concrète d'une équation.
• Exprimer un problème donné par une équation dans laquelle l'inconnue est représentée par une variable sous forme de lettre.
• Trouver la valeur inconnue d'un problème, représenter le problème sous la forme d'une équation, puis résoudre le problème, de façon concrète, imagée ou symbolique.

Ce document inclut également une activité numérique sur les équations et les variables.

Le travail en dyades et le travail indépendant sont demandés dans les diapositives. Les élèves reçoivent de nombreuses explications guidées afin qu'ils puissent travailler de manière indépendante.

Avez-vous du mal à savoir par où commencer ? Où finir ? Avez-vous de la difficulté à enseigner de plus petits morceaux afin que vos élèves sachent ce qu'on attend d'eux, afin qu'ils puissent écrire efficacement et en toute confiance ? Cherchez vous des critères de réussite et des modèles - Avez-vous honnêtement du mal à faire la différence, vous-même, entre les différents genres que vos élèves sont censés produire ? C'est votre première année d'enseignement et vous aimez voir un modèle ou un exemple pour vous guider dans les années à venir ? Cherchez pas plus loin! J'ai fait le travail pour que vous puissiez enseigner avec confiance et pour que vos élèves performent avec confiance.

Mes études de genre vous donneront suffisamment de contenu enseignable, d'activités imprimables, d'invitations de discussion et d'opportunités d'écriture guidée pour écrire avec facilité et confiance. Chacun de mes ensembles de genres commence par un contenu enseignable et des mini-leçons et réflexions intégrées pour que vos élèves partagent, participent et collaborent avec leurs pairs. Si vous n'êtes pas à l'aise avec l'enseignement des genres, c'est le produit qu'il vous faut. JE guide vos cours, VOUS le facilitez en personne.

Mes produits sont FAITS avec vos grands enfants et adolescents à l'esprit. Vous ne trouverez pas de dessins animés enfantins, de polices difficiles à lire et exagérées et vous ne trouverez pas de mots croisés et d'espace perdu. Je prends le temps de m'assurer que mes produits sont attrayants pour un groupe d'élèves plus âgés, mais toujours attrayants, engageants et à leur niveau. Ils sont créés pour les élèves de la 4e à la 8e année en milieu Immersion ou Français langue première.

Cette étude de genre fait partie d'un ensemble grandissant, que vous pouvez trouver ici.

Ce document contient tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour enseigner à vos élèves le conte de fée ET le conte de fée fracturé. Des organisateurs graphiques, des incitations de discussion et d'écriture, des activités, des critères de réussite et des instructions étape par étape afin qu'ils puissent travailler de manière autonome pendant que vous travaillez avec ceux qui ont le plus besoin de vous.

Voici ce que vous pouvez attendre de cette ressource de 50 pages sur les contes de fées:

• Les élèves découvrent les qualités d'un conte de fées en utilisant des titres et des livres qu'ils connaissent,
• Les élèves explorent les éléments et caractéristiques des contes de fées,
• Les élèves jouent un jeu dans lequel ils devinent le conte de fées à partir d'un symbole ou objet important,
• Les élèves exploreront la perspective et le point de vue en planifiant leur écriture d'un conte de fées fracturé!
• Les élèves analysent et s'entraînent à rédiger un conte de fées à l'aide d'organisateurs graphiques fournis,
• Les élèves ont la possibilité de s'entraîner avec 6 pièces d'écriture guidées qui se concentrent sur la fracturation de 6 contes de fées différents,
• 30 possibilités de 5 à 7 sont fournis (parfaits pour un suppléant!)
• Un jeu de dés "Mon conte de fées mélangé" dans lequel les élèves pratiquent à fracturer un conte de fées à l'aide de différents exemples de personnages, cadres et problèmes,
• Les élèves seront familiarisés avec la séquence des événements et l'intrigue d'un conte de fées, et auront accès à un exemple guidé en utilisant le texte de "Cendrillon."
• Les élèves créeront une affiche de leur conte de fées à l'aide d'un organisateur graphique,
• Les élèves seront familiers avec les attentes - une rubrique est incluse pour la pièce d'écriture finale, dans laquelle les élèves écrivent leur propre conte de fées fracturé.

Mes documents évoluent constamment et j'ajoute des activités, des imprimables et du matériel didactique dès que je les réalise pour mon propre usage. Mon groupe est à plusieurs niveaux et la plupart de mes élèves nécessitent des adaptations sous forme d'organisateurs graphiques. Par conséquent, mes documents reflètent une classe à plusieurs niveaux.

This 86-page document has everything you could possibly need to effectively teach area, perimeter and volume to your 5th and 6th graders, or as a refresher for your grade 7's. This slide deck will make your teaching painless, paperless, and requiring zero planning. I teach with a workshop style format and my paperless slide decks provide your students with plenty of guided and shared instruction and opportunities to practice with a partner and solo - to free you up to easily assess and work with the students who need you most. Get a class set of whiteboards and markers, and away you go! Let me teach FOR you and show your students what they need to know, the strategies they need and the confidence they desperately require to be successful with math. I make it simple, visual, step-by-step and fool-proof for you (or your sub!) and your students.

Here are the concepts and strategies I cover in this document:

• Drawing a precise line, to the tenths (dixièmes);
• Units of measurement;
• What exactly is a rectangle?;
• Understanding symmetry when it comes to length and height (longueur et largeur) and how to use it to our advantage to find missing values;
• Using Base 10 blocks to create shapes based on given dimensions;
• "Reading" Base 10 block creations for their dimensions;
• Strategies for calculating surface area (i.e.: physically counting, drawing, using equations);
• "Saying" area values out loud - and what to make of that exponent 2;
• Calculating area and perimeter of rectangles using formulas - I really emphasize the need to START with a formula and work with the formula!
• Finding missing values (dimensions) of a rectangle for area and perimeter;
• Constructing rectangles when given a total surface area (and nothing else);
• Finding dimensions that WORK and DON'T work for a given surface area;
• Finding total surface area and perimeter from given dimensions;
• Estimating total surface area and comparing different shapes' dimensions;
• Finding both area and perimeter for the same rectangle;
• The difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes;
• Using the formula for calculating volume - and starting with two values and working our way up!;
• Using Base 10 blocks to represent 3-dimensional shapes (and remembering that volume is the total number of units within the entire shape);

Your students will be provided with games:

• "Quelles sont ses dimensions?!" - A trivia-style game where students must "read" a Base 10 Block creation and find it's width and height values.
• "Ce n'est pas possible!" - A multiple choice trivia-style game where students must find the "intruder" in a series of dimensions for given surface areas.
• "Quelle est l'aire?" - A quick trivia-style game where students must choose the appropriate answer (they'll have to pay close attention to the formulas and units of measurement to be successful!)
• "Quel est le périmètre?" - A quick trivia-style game where students must choose the appropriate answer (they'll have to pay close attention to the formulas and units of measurement to be successful!)

In addition to the games, your students will have opportunities to see guided examples, practice with a partner and finally, practice solo. During the independent and partner practice, I work with my "low" students while the rest of my class is busy showing me their ability to prove their understanding independently.

My Facebook group is the place to be if you want to be first-to-know about upcoming sales, contests, freebies or whatever else I've got up my sleeve.

Wanna get your bucket drumming kids moving and grooving? Get ready to turn back the dial to 1985 with the Gloria Estefan favorite loved by one and all, "Conga"!

There are five all-color coded NEON slides (#305!) along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2 or 4 times). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

Here's the track so you can play along...

In Own the Beat or Take a Seat the teacher will play a four to eight beat rhythm (as displayed on the powerpoint). After teaching them the rhythm, the entire class will perform the rhythm back in unison

Then, the teacher will ask the class to repeat the rhythm a certain amount of times (1 time, 2 times, 4 times, etc)

What do students have to do? OWN THAT BEAT...!

• Students will perform the rhythm on rhythm sticks, drums, Orff instruments, their hands, their laps, however you do it!

• Students will have to focus on performing that rhythm exactly how it is written

• ... and of course, focus on repeating the rhythm for the EXACT many times as stated ... or else...

TAKE A SEAT! If a student plays an extra beat or an extra part of the rhythm after the class has ended playing it, they have to take a seat (either on the floor, in the circle, on their chair, however you want to do it)

The class will then repeat the rhythm again the amount of times listed until it is played without an extra beat or part of the rhythm. The ones who took a seat are allowed to stand back up again and join the game already in progress

...Then you go to the next level!

Play the rhythm 5 times....
Play the rhythm 6 times...

_Play the rhythm 7 times....
_
(but of course if there's an extra beat... that student takes a seat, and you go back to performing where you left off to get that student back in!)

THEN ONTO THE NEXT LEVEL

Dependent on how fluent your class is, you can use this as part of a lesson, a good chunk of it, or even continue it onto the next weeks lesson to see how good they really are (and what level they can get to)

Play it with a ten minute time and keep score of which class can get the highest by the 3rd week or the 4th week?

Possibilities are endless!

Play it as is or some background music (I like to throw on some 80s, 90s, or clean pop just to get a groove going). Enjoy this game

We're BACK and for 2021 in the follow-up to the #1 selling "Identify Form in Pop Music" series, we now bring you....

Part SEVEN!

Kids love their pop music, right? Want to integrate it into your classroom? This is great lesson to do with 4th and 5th graders that lets them listen to their favorite pop music (as always, kid friendly 100% CLEAN!) while learning about musical form!

The lesson begins with an introduction to popular music and how the music is formulated by the artists songwriters. We talk about the intro, verse, chorus, bridge, and outro, and include the collision and the channel and then go onto our activity.

I cut out cards... a whole bunch of intros, verses, chorus, bridges, outros, channels, and collisions (or you can do it with a whiteboard/marker, or even as a unison class response) and give them to each student, then have have the kids sit on the floor. I then play an mp3 of a song which has 10 second clips of each of the sections (there is about a 2 second gap in between each clip and all clips are safe for little ears -- no profanity!) and have the students identify them by spelling them out on the floor in front of them. This works great if you're putting kids into groups of 2 or 3 as they try to figure out the form of the song.

It's a great compromise to having your kids listen to their music and still satisfy a 4th and 5th grade standard in identifying the structure of music!

The 2021 hit list:

• Bang!, AJR
• Blinding Lights, The Weeknd
• Drivers License, Olivia Rodrigo
• Follow You, Imagine Dragons
• Kings & Queens, Ava Max
• Levitating, Dua Lipa
• Mood, 24kGoldn
• Save Your Tears, The Weeknd
• Selfish, Nick Jonas
• Watermelon Sugar, Harry Styles

Need to connect with your kids this Christmas through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with Pentatonix's hip hop cover of "Deck the Halls"!

There are six all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 1, 2, or 3 times). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

Here's the track so you can play along...

Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!
