This 11-page resource features ready-to-print worksheets covering all 15 chapters of The Happiest Man on Earth, Eddie Jaku. Included activities are designed to encourage critical, reflective thinking from your students and prompt class engagement and discussion. Perfect for reflective subjects such as English, Religion, History, Personal Development and Wellbeing.

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.

I needed a fun way to review vocabulary with my students. So I came up with this fun game called "What's the Word".

Students get an example sentence and then identify the part of speech as well as a good synonym for the vocabulary word.

Have them get out of their seats and go to the pink, green, or blue corner of the room. Or get out sticky notes, dry-erase boards, or anything else you might want to use.

Make this template your own and review vocabulary, sentence structures, interpunctuation, or other parts of the language.

Or turn it around and use it for some SEL building. Put questions of interest and let students use the majority vote on what they like best, then let them explain why! There are ENDLESS options!
