  • Solving Proportions – Scaffolded and Jamboard

    Solving Proportions – Scaffolded and Jamboard

    Below are images from a Jamboard and a handout that scaffold cross multiplying to solve a proportion. (See image at bottom to make a copy of the Jamboard.) This is an entry point, with a focus on how to write the ensuing equation. Solving would be a prerequisite skill so it is not addressed (but…

  • Introduction to Volume – Manipulatives (starting with perimeter and area)

    Introduction to Volume – Manipulatives (starting with perimeter and area)

    Here is a Jamboard to introduce volume and units of volume. (See photo at very bottom for making a copy to edit.) The students start with building an animal pen and shading in the space inside. The hands on approach and connection to prior knowledge of a fenced in area for animals sets the stage…

  • Change Word Problems – Scaffolded

    Change Word Problems – Scaffolded

    The Jamboard incorporates scaffolded handouts. The compare problems has two separate scaffolded sections. The first is to unpack the concepts of difference and compare, followed by writing a math sentence. Here is an introductory Jamboard to help students visualize and conceptualize change situations. Here is a video you can show to help students see movement…

  • 1 Step Word Problems Addition and Subtraction – Scaffolded

    1 Step Word Problems Addition and Subtraction – Scaffolded

    The Jamboard incorporates scaffolded handouts. The compare problems has two separate scaffolded sections. The first is to unpack the concepts of difference and compare, followed by writing a math sentence.

  • Intro to Solving Equations – Seesaws and Oranges

    Intro to Solving Equations – Seesaws and Oranges

    Here is an introduction to solving equations using a Jamboard (see photo at very bottom for how to make a copy). A seesaw is used to unpack the concept of an equation as two sides that are equivalent. The box is used to unpack the concept of a variable representing an unknown number (or oranges…

  • Combining Like Terms – From Concrete to Symbolic Form

    Combining Like Terms – From Concrete to Symbolic Form

    Here is a Jamboard (see photo at very bottom for how to make a copy to edit) that presents like terms as visual manipulatives and then eases into the symbolic form – the “mathy” stuff. The following shows each slide as is and how it looks after completion. Start with two groups of common items,…

  • Introduction to Pythagorean Theorem

    Introduction to Pythagorean Theorem

    Here is a link to the Jamboard (make a copy to edit – see photo at the very bottom). The directions are on each slide. The photos below show what the results should look like. To make a copy, click 3 dots and choose copy.

  • Introduction to Absolute Value – Distance from Home

    Introduction to Absolute Value – Distance from Home

    Here is a Jamboard to introduce the concept of absolute value (make a copy and you can edit – see photo at bottom of this post). Start with prior knowledge of how many houses a child is from home. Emphasize that the number of houses is positive. Change the setting from a row of houses…

  • Factors and Multiples

    Factors and Multiples

    Below are images of artifacts I created for work on factors and Multiples. The first is a Jamboard (you make a copy and then edit). The second is a handout to introduce factors and multiples. Here is a Superteachersworksheets has these Venn Diagrams problems on handouts.

  • Group Model for Proportional Relationships and Slope Application

    Group Model for Proportional Relationships and Slope Application

    If you find this helpful, maybe consider making a small donation to help build an accessible playscape for children with disabilities. In my experience, many students struggle with translating word problems modeled by a proportional relationship or a linear function into a algebraic expression or equation. (Image below.) Here is a link to a Jamboard…
