Groups

I've added these resources to the group: http://teachershare.scholastic... and http://teachershare.scholastic... that can be helpful. Also did you think about Origami?

Thanks, bwiltgen. I've posted some of your math lessons in this group! <p> mparls5olv, we also have a New Teacher group in TeacherShare if you want to join for more support.

You are definitely going to want to check out the below link: http://www.teacherspayteachers... I have been teaching 5th grade for the past 7 years, and you will find a wealth of resources for not only math, but other subject areas as well. Everything listed has been used in the classroom at the 5th grade level. There are many creative projects for math included: Geometry City, Coordinates City, Design a Zoo, Multiplication and Division activities, fractions and so much more.

Thanks!

thank you! great site :)

What a great resource.... thank you

I liked the activities. What i meant was I can do an activity that helps explain a concept, but then transferring the information to computation, etc doesn't seem to work well. I have had others telling me the same. It may just be the 4th grade curriculum. For example. The class can add fractions when I walk them through how to find the equivalent fractions on fraction strips, but they can't transfer it on their own.

I've added a few resources that I think is what you want. Take a look and let me know. Stav

I teach a 4th grade math class as well as other subjects. I like to try to add hands on activities to my math class. At times the activities don't transfer well to the "paper and pencil" method. So I ma looking for ideas that help students understand the concepts in a way that they can easily apply it in their daily work.
