A Helpful Tip to Remember the Next Time You Multiply by 9 (Mini-poster)

Based on a work at http://www.theteachertreasury.com/free-downloads/a-helpful-tip-to-remember-the-next-time-you-multiply-by-9-mini-poster.

Believe it or not, one of my 8th graders showed me this trick and it blew my mind!

Some of you may be thinking, this isn't a useful resource because it doesn't help the student understand the concept of multiplying by 9 and that's understandable. However, I've taught 4th and 5th grade special education and little tricks like these are a lifesaver and confidence booster when students encounter multiplication problems. I really hope you find this helpful too.

Short Response - Book Review

I gave this sheet to my students for homework at least twice a week. Every night my class was required to read for at least 30 minutes. I would often give them this 3 question worksheet to quickly assess their knowledge of their book. Keep in mind, several of my students were well below reading level and still reading picture books. This sheet works well with shorter books students can read in one sitting or I'm sure you can use introduce it once readers have completed a chapter book.

The lesson also includes the following word problems which ask students to round their answers to the nearest Tens Place:

2. Sarah's father has a huge movie collection. She counted 5,458 movies. About how many movies would you say her father has if you round to the nearest tens place?

3. Mrs. King has 44 students in her class. She has more than any other teacher in the school. Ms. Black comes close with 39 students, but Mr. Anthony only has 27. Estimate the number of students in those three classes. Round your answer to the nearest tens place.

4. There are 365 days in a year. Estimate the number of days in the year to the nearest tens place.

This former freebie is now available for purchase here and on TeachersPayTeachers.com

Product Details

Materials Needed:
1 snack pack of M&M candies (per student)

My students ALWAYS love this lesson!

I've successfully completed this activity with 2nd, 4th and 5th grade classes. 

This activity can be done in 8+ Steps.

The provided steps include:

Step 1: Before you open your bag of M&M candies, guess the total number of M&Ms in the package.

Step 2: Open your package and count the total number of M&Ms.

Step 3: What fraction represents the number of each color candy in your pack?

Step 4: Answer the following questions:
1. Which color M&M represents the largest fraction? 
2. Which color M&M represents the smallest fraction? 

Step 5: Eat one of each color M&M.

Step 6: What fraction represents the number of each color candy in your pack?

Step 7: Answer the following questions:
3. If you give 2 red M&Ms to your teacher, what fraction of your remaining M&Ms will be RED?
4. Write the fraction that represents the number of M&Ms that are
NOT ORANGE?
5. Which color M&M represents the largest fraction? 
6. Which color M&M represents the smallest fraction? 

Step 8: Eat all of your M&Ms.

For 2nd graders and SPED classes, the directions were always read aloud and we completed the entire activity together step by step. 

With smaller 4th and 5th grade classes, I allowed students to complete the entire worksheet on their own as I would go around the room checking on their progress and understanding.

With larger classes, I would recommend having students pair up in groups of 2 to complete the assignment together. Each student should still receive their own pack of M&Ms and their own worksheet, but the following additional steps should be taken to ensure that all students understand the concept of fractions, numerators, denominators, etc. 

--> Before students begin, instruct them to STOP and put their pencils down after STEP 3. Once all (or the majority) of the students have completed STEP 3, call on various students and ask them the following questions:

1. What fraction of your M&Ms are (color)? How do you know?
2. Does that color represent the numerator or the denominator?
3. What is a numerator?
4. What does the denominator represent?
5. Which color M&M represents the largest fraction? How do you know? 
6. Which color M&M represents the smallest fraction? How do you know? (You could also ask another student: "Is he/she correct?"

Before allowing students to complete STEP 4, instruct them to answer the 2 question in STEP 4 and when finished do the following:

1. Put your pencil down, stand up and push in your chair
2. When both you and your partner have completed STEP 4 and are both standing with your chair pushed in, switch seats.
3. Sit down and DO NOT TOUCH your partner's M&Ms. 
4. Review their answers in STEP 3 AND STEP 4 by looking at their group of M&Ms
5. Circle any incorrect answers.
6. When both you and your partner are finished reviewing STEP 3 & 4, discuss your incorrect answers. If you disagree on a fraction, raise your hand and ask the teacher to review the work.
7. When you have finished reviewing the answers, put your pencils down, stand up and return to your seat to complete STEPS 5-7.

After students have completed STEP 7, they should repeat the review process after STEP 4.

Finally, they can all eat their M&Ms.

Hope this helps =)

______________________


All of my students loved this game! I used it as our routine activity between lessons for grades 2-5. Once students get the hang of it, one round game can take less than 5 minutes.

Once a student yells "SCATTERGORIES", I would make everyone put their pencil down and that person would have to stand up and reveal their answers in each category to confirm their win.

I would often reward winners with stickers, treats and small prizes.

You can also use this game to spark dialogue within the classroom. Ask other students to confirm the people, places, songs, movies, books, authors, etc. mentioned by their classmates. If few students know very much about the given responses, it's a great opportunity for the student who selected that answer to teach his/her classmates about that particular person, place, object etc.
