Word Problems...Happy New Year (Post #4)

After completing quarterly tests in December, it was clear that we need to work on word problems. This mixed set requires addition, subtraction, and multiplication. There are also 7 multi-step problems. I will be using these next week in a center.

This is a new product that has been in the works for far too long! I used this in my classroom earlier this year. The step by step process helped my students understand word problems involving money. I'm posting a sample in my store. My goal is to complete the resource before heading back to school next week.

And I have added another page to the New Year's Review. My kiddos always need more practice with function tables. This resource is still free...but just for a short time. If you download, I would love to have your feedback.

Thanks so much for visiting by blog. Tomorrow I will be working on my plans for Social Studies...focusing on Colonial Life and the American Revolution.

Read Alouds...Happy New Year (Post #3)

Ramona Recommends has the best suggestions for picture books. I can't wait to share these with my class.

I will also be reading one of my favorites from Chris Van Allsburg. Queen of the Falls fits right in with our emphasis on nonfiction in January. This biography tells the story of Annie Taylor Edison... the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

I always begin with a video showing Niagara Falls to build background knowledge. Use safeyoutube to omit the ads.

This 3 minute video is for another day. Van Allsburg discusses Queen of the Falls, his writing process, and gives an office tour.

The next page in the New Year's Flash Freebie has been posted...a quick review of finding factors.

I hope you like this product and would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I will have a new post tomorrow!
