Back to School Postcards and Fraction Benchmarks

Back to School Postcards- Freebie!

This postcard is the perfect way to reach out and make a connection with your students before school begins. Your students will love getting mail from their soon-to-be teacher!

I sent this postcard to my students before school started last year. I took this document to my local print shop and asked them to print it double sided to look like a postcard. This document includes the front and the back of the postcard. Click here to download this freebie.  I would LOVE comments as well :)

Fraction Benchmark

 

I just finished a fun activity that I am using this week to teach fraction benchmarks.  This is a wonderful resource to help students learn to estimate fractions on a number line.  Students will estimate whether each fraction is closer to 0, 1/2, or 1.  Click here to purchase this activity from my Teachers Notebook store for $2.00.

 

Math Mania

I love creating fun math games and centers to reinforce the skills we are working on in class.  Especially with state testing coming up, it is a great way to review past skills and concepts.  Here are a few of my favorites.  Click on the link to purchase these items from my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Decimal Mix and Match Game- $2.00

This seven page document covers the place value skill with decimals. Students will match up the standard form, expanded form, and word form. Place value goes to the hundredths place.

Comparing Fractions Game- $2.00

This is a fun game for students to play to the skill of comparing fractions.  Students will each choose one card and whoever has the highest fraction keeps the cards.  They will keep playing until all of the cards are gone.

Long Division Activity- $2.00

This 9 page activity works on students' long division skills. They will choose one of the numbers on the leaf. This will be the dividend. Then choose one of the single digit numbers as your divisor. A paper is provided for them to write the problem and the answer. Remainders are included in these problems. The cute Hawaii theme will engage students.
