Fractions Task Cards

It's about time, teachers, for some fraction task cards.

Because I'm obsessed with my forest friends classroom theme, these task cards are adorned with woodland elements.

The task cards are aligned with these CCSS:

• CCSS.Math.Content.3.NF.A.1 Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b. 
• CCSS.Math.Content.3.NF.A.3 Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size. 
• CCSS.Math.Content.3.NF.A.3b Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3. Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Forest Friends Classroom Theme

It's about time, teachers, to...

For more than a year, I've been working on building a Forest Friends' Classroom. It seems wherever I go, I find adorable woodland critters. Even linens are now sporting furry, little friends. I couldn't be happier because the forest is a perfect learning environment. Just imagine an adventure everyday as your students learn in a "natural habitat."

Greet your new students with this cheerful welcome banner.  The 5 signs below it, as well as the garland elements, are available here for FREE!

After you welcome your new students, use these products to bring educational decorations to your classroom:

I have loved having a Forest Friends classroom so much that I began creating curricula with the same theme.  You can check out these resources in my next post. Be sure to come back because I think you'll really like them. I know my students have really enjoyed being immersed in the forest atmosphere.

Each of these products is available in my TPT Store. I would love for you to visit, look around a while, and follow me.  TYIA

Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters.

What's Black & White & Red All Over?

What IS black and white and red all over?  

A sunburned zebra, yes.  But it could also be your classroom.

If you are looking for a new color scheme for next year, consider making it dynamic and sophisticated for you, yet fun and appealing for children.  Make it black and white and red all over!

Greet your new students with this cheerful welcome banner.

The provided message is "Welcome to (grade level - Kindergarten thru 6th) Grade!" Editable flags are included so that you can add your name or another message to personalize the banner. Also included are word wall headers and editable rectangles for words.
