Adding and Subtracting with Whole Numbers Packet

This packet includes everything you will need to practice and review adding and subtracting whole numbers.  It includes my adding whole numbers game and my subtracting whole numbers worksheets.  I also included some vocabulary flashcards and word problems!

Updated Language Arts Packet

I updated my Language Arts Packet to include my Word Pyramids Activity.  The packet also includes my related words activity and word lines activity as well as related word list and synonyms/antonyms list.

Word Pyramids

Review related words with word pyramids.  This is a great activity helps students understand that learning a new word can help them understand related words!

Updated Comprehension Packet

I updated my comprehension packet.  It now includes the story map graphic organizer along with the important events graphic organizer and the narrative elements graphic organizer!

Rounding Packet

This is a packet I put together to with all of my rounding practice and review activities.  This packet includes an estimating sums and differences game, rounding to the nearest 10 or 100 game, and a hundreds chart the students can use to help them round!

 

Subtracting Whole Numbers

Here are some fun review worksheets that I use as bellwork and/or homework to review subtraction.

Adding Whole Numbers

This is a great center activity to review addition.  This games includes one digit by one digit, two digit by two digit, two digit by one digit, three digit by two digit and three digit by three digit with and without regrouping.  I bring these out randomly all year.  My kids always need more practice with addition!

Letter Angles

I gave my students a three circle Venn Diagram.  None of my students had ever seen a three circle Venn Diagram before I so spent a few minutes explaining how the circles intersected.  Then I told the students that they were going to look at the alphabet and place the letters in the Venn Diagram where they fit correctly.  If the letter didn't have any angles they wrote that letter outside the Venn Diagram.  It was really interesting to see them try to figure out the Venn Diagram at the same time as they figured out the letter angles.  This was the first time I had done this activity and it was really successful.  This is something I will definitely being doing year after year.

Decimal Card Game

I have found that my students can not practice decimals enough!  They are required to have a solid understanding of decimals in fifth grade so I try to spend some time practicing decimals with them.  This time I game each group of two (and one group of three) a deck of cards and a counter.  They used the counter as a decimal.  They each put down three cards-one to the left of the decimal (counter) and two to the right of the decimal.  They then compared each decimal.  The person who had the greatest number got all six cards.  The person who had all the cards (or the most cards) won the game.

Decimal Game

We played this game to review decimals.  This was one of the most popular games I played with my students all year.  They asked to play this game over and over again.  I gave them an empty board and had them put decimals in the spaces.  It did take time for them to put numbers in their boards so if you decide to play this game make sure you build in time for them to write their own numbers or create boards in advance with the numbers already in place.  I then called out the decimals and they covered the numbers that matched the numbers I called out.  We played several time and every time once of them won I gave the winner a pencil.
