These fraction paths and flexible charts are great tools to have handy at kid’s disposal to help develop fraction sense. These charts are foldable, where the slits at the top of the fraction path can be cut on the dotted lines and then folded over. You can cover up a few fractions to see if they know what is missing, you can use it to model adding and subtracting fraction with like denominators, and you can use it to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They two foldables can be kept together as one, or cut apart to make two separate ones. There are also fraction squares chart and missing numerator charts.

⭐ Teachers like you love this resource ⭐

Loved that I could download the freebie to see if it was helpful for my class! I ended up buying the resource because it is a helpful resource for students with autism to build independence and confidence in their math skills.

This is a great resource for adding/subtracting to 10. I brought in real objects for them to work with along side this resource. They were engaged and successful.

This resource was a perfect sneak peek to what the rest of the bundle would offer to my classroom. The resource gave students a chance to practice the skill with visual representation and an errorless format to avoid discouragement of the skill.

by Differentiation Station Creations
Pre-Kindergarten – Kindergarten

FREE!! Mitten Counting!

Write the Room! Count the Room!

This is an mittens / winter themed math center. It is perfect for preschool and Kindergarten, as well as, special education instruction. It is appropriate for the school and homeschool setting.

Objective: Students will actively move around the room to count the mittens in the pictures. Students will then write the correct numeral next to the matching letter on the recording sheet.

Materials:

– Mitten picture cards (pg. 3-5)

– Recording Sheet (pg. 8)

– Extension Worksheet (pg. 9)

– Optional: I have included cards with numerals on them, so that you can use the cards to play memory, etc. (pg. 5-7)

Optional: Clipboards for students to carry around to record their numbers.

Procedure:

– Print and laminate the cards for durability.

– Tape the mitten object cards around the room.

– Students will take a clipboard and go around the room searching for the pictures on their recording sheet. When they find the matching letter, they will count the objects and write the numeral on the line beside the picture.

– I have included extra cards with numerals on them. You can use these to play a memory match up game with both sets of cards. Students will match the numeral to the correct number of mitten objects.

Description

Wuthering Heights Student Workbook contains everything a teacher needs to teach Bronte’s novel. Instead of the boring question and answer format, the Student Workbook prompts students’ ideas about characters, asks them to comment on significant quotes, and to notice some of the essential techniques used by the author such as symbolism, allusions, themes, etc. in each of the chapters. I have created this resource for my own classes, and students love the meaningful format. Instead of writing information about themes, symbolism, characterization, etc. on separate sheets apart from the chapter questions, everything is integrated in a simplified way.

In addition, a comprehensive answer key is also provided for the teacher. You now have all of the flexibility needed for your lesson plans with all of the work provided for you.

More specifically, the Student Workbook contains work on (42 activity pages):

❒ Important information from each chapter

❒ Setting description and symbolism

❒ Characterization (you can see the characters develop as the students’ read)

❒ Gothic elements

❒ Symbolism

❒ Themes

❒ Supernatural occurrences

❒ Significant quotes

❒ Narration

❒ Allusions

❒ Sociogram (to show characters’ relationships)

❒ Inferencing questions to further students’ understanding

❒ Family tree (to help students remember who is who)

❒ Conflicts

❒ Literary techniques used by the author

❒ Characterization chart

Please see the product preview for more information.

This resource includes 84 pages in total. Please see the preview for further details.

The Giver Game Bundle – A perfect addition to any novel unit!

According to research, using games when teaching increases student participation, comprehension, as well as fostering emotional and social learning.

Today’s 21st- century student needs to be fully engaged in learning to gain knowledge and then apply it in meaningful ways. Many teachers find that traditional comprehension questions are not engaging and often do not reinforce understanding. Both teacher and student often find answering the traditional chapter questions tedious and uninteresting.

Help your students fully engage with Lois Lowry’s “The Giver” by incorporating these short, fun games into your unit.

Each game includes quality questions that check the student’s understanding and are varied to include:

❒ Important vocabulary and terms

❒ Symbolism

❒ Irony

❒ Foreshadow

❒ Literary elements

❒ Plot

❒ Characters

❒ Themes

❒ Quotes

❒ Everything you would ask in traditional comprehension questions

The breakout rooms include clues and answer keys for the teacher. The teacher can give students hints if they struggle in their quests.

The games created are interactive, engaging, and varied to maintain student interest. Each game includes a different theme with different challenges. Some games have game-show quiz-style questions, while others are like mini breakout rooms. Even better, the games require no preparation for the teacher. Other than an internet connection, nothing else is required! Merely share the game link with students, and they’re off to work independently. The games also inform students of the correct answer to all questions, so they will learn the necessary information before moving on to subsequent material.

Students can play these games as a group or individually. Create a class challenge to see who can complete the games in less time. The possibilities are endless! These games are also a great way to engage students in learning online.

The activities will take 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the game and the student’s abilities.

I love doing this activity at the beginning of my lessons to review the previous chapter, facilitating discussions and class activities.

The bundle includes 23 games and 320 questions in total!

The games can be played on any PC, laptop or tablet, Smartphone, Mac, or Chromebook. Anything that can access the internet can be used to access the games.

5 Writing Activities for Reluctant Writers!

Writing was my favorite subject in school, but as a teacher I quickly learned that many of my students did not feel the same way! It took a lot of trial and error, but over the years I did find some tried and true methods to help my friends love (and if not love, then at least tolerate) writing.

Literature Circles for Senior Students

LESSONS and tagged English Language Arts guided reading books literature Literature Circles No Prep Reading on January 21, 2023 by teachingmadeeasy123 (updated on January 21, 2023)

Description

Introducing Literary Circles for Senior Students – the ultimate resource for an engaging and organized literature study experience. This comprehensive document guide includes everything students and teachers need to participate effectively in literature circles.

I created this resource because I found many other literary circle resources too childish for my older students. I created this for my senior-level high school students (although it can easily be used in grades 9 and 10 as well.) The feedback I received from students was impressive. They were engaged in learning and completed their work because their peers counted on them. They also enjoyed working with others and learning in a different format than usual.

The guide includes detailed descriptions of session procedures and group roles, making it easy for students to understand their responsibilities and participation expectations. Additionally, the guide includes a working document for each session, bookmarks and links to navigate the lengthy document quickly, and clear success criteria and expectations for the unit.

An easy organization grid is also provided to assign roles at the beginning of the unit, and a group evaluation rubric and tracking chart are included to track student’s progress throughout the unit. The resource also includes a definition of roles and templates for the work in each session, making it easy for the teacher to prepare and share the Literature Circles Document Guide with each group.

In short, this resource is designed to make literature circles easy to navigate and organize, with clear instructions, resources and tools for students to help them engage more deeply with the literature they are reading.

The resource is completely modifiable to suit individual teacher and classroom needs.

Included:

❒ A document for students’ work

❒ An evaluation grid

❒ A tracking guide to facilitate the evaluation process

❒A Google Form survey to facilitate the group selection

❒ Teacher instructions on how to create and organize successful literature circles

This document is created in Google Docs and is modifiable.

As this clip art set is only meant to be used for creating digital products, the images are smaller in size and have a lower resolution than regular clip art. The images have a resolution of 150 dpi and are 2.5″ in diameter. This works well on screen, but can lead to pixelated or blurry results if the images are enlarged or printed.

These images CAN BE used “as is” i.e. as movable digital files in both NON-COMMERCIAL resources that you share with your own students and in COMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL resources.

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Frankenstein-Note-Taking-for-Critical-Thinking-FREE–8275485

Description

This is an excerpt from my Frankenstein Note-Taking for Critical Thinking Resource. I hope you will enjoy this free preview.

This is a description of the full resource.

This thought-provoking resource encourages students to think critically about the novel to extend their knowledge of themes and how they are developed. The package is a great alternative to the traditional comprehension questions usually assigned by teachers and invites students to think deeply about the materials read. The instructional strategy used within these pages is similar to that of a “flipped classroom” created to further engage students in their learning.

Instead of traditional comprehension questions given after chapters, students are given guided note-taking sheets (in Google Docs) where they are prompted on what kind of information to focus on within each chapter. For example, some chapters rely heavily on symbol development while others focus more on character development. Students will learn how to take effective notes and how to ask effective questions thus developing the novel’s themes. The second part of the sheet requires students to extend their learning by participating in small group discussions where they learn how to ask Socratic questions, discuss important novel elements in guided discussions, and participate in creative activities to further investigate the characters’ motivations.

Each sheet prompts students on which information to focus their notes on and includes a group activity where students are encouraged to develop their own questions based on the chapters’ thematic focus to deepen their understanding of the intricacies of the novel and the literary elements used to develop themes. This teaching strategy creates independent and responsible learners. When students have completed their group work, a guided discussion with the entire class highlights different perspectives on how to analyze Shelley’s classic tale.

All materials are available in Google Docs and are modifiable.

Students learn how to:

Be independent

Take good notes

Work in a group setting

Ask good questions

Be responsible in their learning

Analyze the novel

Become engaged in their learning

To think critically

Also included:

Success criteria, overall expectations, and an evaluation grid are included for teachers who want to evaluate the notes and the group discussions.
Peer and Self-Evaluation grids are included for students
Pacing guide for the teacher to help with planning

This resource also pairs well with my Frankenstein Unit and Workbook.

A total of 30 pages.

Each child will have a Valentine memory book to collect all of their Valentine cards from their friends. Instead of throwing away their cards after they open them they will have a little keepsake book to read over and over!

We glue their cards into their books and they write the name of each child they received the card from. What a great idea for Valentine parties and meaningful too!

LESSONS and tagged activities English Language Arts games literature No Prep Reading on January 14, 2023 by teachingmadeeasy123 (updated on January 14, 2023)

Description

The introduction to “Much Ado About Nothing” Breakout Room is the perfect way to introduce the play.

According to research, using games when teaching increases student participation, comprehension, as well as fostering emotional and social learning.

Help your students fully engage and understand the play by beginning your unit with this fun activity.

The game includes four different sections:

An introduction to Shakespeare’s life and times
Information about the Globe Theatre
Information about Shakespeare’s use of language
An introduction to the play’s themes and conflicts

Each section includes a section where students will discover information about each category. Then they will answer a series of questions, puzzles, and tests to break out each room.

This resource includes clues and answer keys for the teacher. The teacher can give students hints if they struggle in their quests.

The game is interactive, engaging, and varied to maintain student interest. The game includes a different theme with different challenges. The games require no preparation for the teacher. Other than an internet connection, nothing else is required! Merely share the game link with students, and they’re off to work independently.

Students can play the game as a group or individually. Create a class challenge to see who can complete the game in less time. The possibilities are endless! These games are also a great way to engage students in learning online.

The activities will take approximately 40 minutes, depending on the game and the student’s abilities.

The game includes 21 questions, 4 puzzles, and 4 information rooms.

The games can be played on any PC, laptop or tablet, Smartphone, Mac, or Chromebook. Anything that can access the internet can be used to access the games.
