Help you students master metric measures! Converting Metric Measures can be challenging for many students. I created this packet with those students in mind. Included in this packet are two fold-ups. The first fold-up is a tri-fold fold-up which when assembled lists the metric measures for length, capacity and mass. The second fold-up is a matchbook fold-up. This fold-up explains how to make conversions between two metric measurements. Two examples are also give. A 2-sided practice page is also included. The questions on the practice page are written is such a way that requires the students to show their thinking while solving the problem. An answer key is provided. I also included two pages of pictures and instructions on how to assemble the fold-outs. These materials are aligned to Common Core Standards required for 5th grade.

Students tackle fractions with confidence while using Fraction Attraction resources! This packet contains: • A Matchbook Fold-Up which would fit well in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. The fold-up explains and demonstrates add (or subtract) fractions with unlike denominators. • A half-sheet handout. This handout contains the same information as the matchbook fold-up, just in a half-sheet format. I find the half-sheet works well as a quick reference sheet. In addition, many students like to take it home and share with their parents. • Two page worksheet. The worksheet provides an organized format which will help the student practice the skill. • A one-sided cut and paste worksheet. The cut and paste sheet is not as structured as the two page worksheet. I would suggest using this page once students have practiced the skill for some time. • Answer keys for all worksheets are also included.

Students tackle fractions with confidence while using Fraction Attraction resources! This packet contains: • A 3-Step Fold-Up which would fit well in a math journal or as a stand alone resource. The fold-up explains and demonstrates how to find the least common denominator and change each fraction to an equivalent fraction. • To assemble a 3-Step Fold-Up, run the cover on one side of a paper and the inside of the fold-up on the other side. Next, trim the copies on the lower grey line found on the inside of the fold-out. Then, with the inside face-up, fold the paper vertically down the center. Next, have students cut on the dotted lines. The fold-up is now ready to use! • A half-sheet handout. This handout contains the same information as the 3-Step Fold-Up, just in a different format. I find the half-sheet works well as a reference sheet. Many students like to take it home and share with their parents. • Two page worksheet. The worksheet provides an organized format which will help the student practice the skill. • A one-sided cut and paste worksheet is also included. The focus of this worksheet is to practice finding the Least Common Denominator. • A “M” sheet. I use “M” as an icon for finding the LCM. It is referred to on both the fold-out and half-sheet reference page. Some students may want to use the “M” icon when listing multiples. • Answer keys for all worksheets are also included.

Great strategy for those struggling with division! My 5th grade students really struggle with the concept of estimating to divide. When you throw in the terminology of 'compatible numbers' it seems to get even more confusing. I created this tri-fold-up for their math journals to help guide them through the process of using compatible numbers to estimate the quotient. This fold-up defines what a compatible number is and shows examples. To practice the skill, I have included a two-sided worksheet. This worksheet will allow students the opportunity to practice for success.. Answer key with possible answers is included. For information on how to assemble a tri-fold-up product please visit my blog post.

Learn how to apply multiplication patterns when working with multiples of 10! The pack includes a half page 3 step handout (2 handouts per sheet), a two page tri-fold fold-up which can be used in a math journal/notebook or stand alone, and a 2 page practice page + answer key.

Help your students understand how to work with multiples and factors! Until mastering what a factor and what a multiple is, a student is going to struggle to find the Least Common Multiple or the Greatest Common Factor. This realization is what prompted me to make this Working with Factors and Multiples pack. Included in this pack are 3 matchbook fold-ups. One of the fold-ups combines both factor and multiple. The other two fold-ups do not combine, but are set up to teach the vocabulary one at a time. Also included are practice pages. One 2-sided sheet combines practice on both factor and multiple. A second 2-sided practice sheet has factor only. And a final practice page focuses on multiple only. I also included instructions and pictures on how to assemble the matchbook fold-ups as well as how to copy the practice pages.

This product is a matchbook type fold-up identifies the predator prey relationship within an ecosystem. To create this matchbook fold-up, simply run the outside sheet (upside down for easier copying) on one side of the paper and the inside sheet on the other side of the paper (always run a test copy to make sure the fold-up folds properly). To fold a matchbook fold-up, lay the inside face up. First, bring the top of the page down to the bottom horizontal line and fold. Then, bring the bottom of the paper up and fold on the bottom horizontal line. When finished it should look like a giant matchbook. Fold-ups are a wonderful resource that fit well in an interactive notebook or can be used as a stand alone resource. I find that my students refer to the fold-ups throughout the entire school year!

This product contains 20 easy investigations. The materials needed are easy to come by and inexpensive. I did not come up with these experiments myself, nor do I claim to. I have just compiled them onto easy to use sheets for students. Each experiment is described in detail on the front side and the backside provides students with space to record their observations. In addition, I have included an easy explanation of each experiment.

This product is a full sheet fold-up which illustrates the movement of water through the water cycle. The following are both defined and labeled within the cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation and run-off. The teacher has two fold-up options: For the teacher short on time, run a completed inside sheet. This fold-up will be finished and ready to be used by students with just a few simple folds. If the teacher has time and would like the fold-up to be more interactive, run the ‘missing parts’ inside. A definition and lable parts sheet will have to be run too (4 sets of parts per page.) Fold-ups are a wonderful resource that fits well in an interactive notebook or can be used as a stand alone resource. I find that my students refer to the fold-ups throughout the entire school year!

This fold-up explains the transfer of energy through a food chain within an ecosystem. The food chain begins with the sun's energy, followed by a producer. The food chain continues with a first order consumer through 4th order consumer. This product is a half-sheet single flap fold-up which explains the transfer of energy through a food chain. The sample food chain begins with the sun, followed by a producer and a first order through a fourth order producer. For the teacher short on time, run a completed inside sheet. This fold-up will be finished and ready to be used by students with just a simple fold. If the teacher has time and would like the fold-up to be more interactive, run the fill in the food chain description inside sheet. A description parts sheet will have to be run too (4 sets of parts per page.) Directions on how to assemble are also included.

Included in this packet is a one-fold fold-up. The cover gives a brief explanation of the partial quotient method. The inside gives two detailed examples. I have also included to 2-sided worksheet to use with students. Also, included is a detailed answer key. If you would like to see pictures of this product, please visit Mrs. B's Best Blog and search partial quotient method.

This packet contains a ‘three examples + practice’ flip-book. • The 1st example provides a step-by-step guide for dividing a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number (no remainder). • The 2nd example shows how to divide a 4-digit number by a 1-digit number (with remainder). • The last example demonstrates how to divide a 3-digit number by a 2-digit number (with remainder). • The final section provides several practice problems along with an answer key. • In addition, I included some ready-made index tabs for marking each of the four sections.

The purpose of a ‘We Flip for Math’ Flip Book, is to provide a struggling student with a step-by-step guide to take them through the process they are struggling with. The complexity of some skills can be quite challenging for many students. Being able to remember all the steps can become overwhelming. A flip-book can help walk these children through the process. In addition, I have found flip-books can be helpful when sending homework home. Including a flip book can make for very happy parents! This free flip book is a ‘three-in-one’ flip-book. • Section 1 provides a step-by-step guide for multiplying a fraction and a whole number. • Section 2 demonstrates how to multiply two fractions. • Section 3 focuses on how to multiply mixed numbers. If you like this flip book be sure to check out others being offered at my store!

For students who are either just getting started with the long division process or with students who are struggling with the process. The example shows a double digit dividend being divided by a single digit divisor. The final answer does have a remainder. The fold-up breaks the process down into six steps: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down (repeat if needed), remainder and check. The steps are listed and a visual representation is shown. The fold-up will fit nicely in a math journal (just trim on the grey line for a better fit). In addition, I decided to create a one page handout (handout is the one without the dotted cut lines) of the steps. My thinking is that this particular information might be a better resource without the flaps.
