O Christmas Tree: a fractions & decimals game

I just completed a new game! This is the first of many that will be made in December.

Have students practice matching decimals and fractions together with this Christmas-themed game fit for your math center! Decimal place value includes tenths and hundredths. Click on the picture to check it out in my Teachers Notebook store.

Of course, as always, the first three to comment will receive a free copy. Remember to leave your email!! :)

Foldables Week: Social Studies

This is my final foldables post and it's for social studies. I don't teach social studies this year so the pictures are from past years.

Energy Foldable

I received a request to explain how to make some of my foldables. I quickly put together directions for the energy foldable I posted about yesterday. (The others will take a bit longer to get together!)

Foldables Week: Science

The Foldables party continues--today is science! I used to have my kids make lapbooks to go along with each science unit we had. The lapbooks included games, resources, vocabulary cards and (of course) foldables. I haven't made any this year though, so most of the pictures show foldables from then. 

Foldables Week: Math

I looooooooooove foldables! Beth at Thinking of Teaching is hosting a Foldables linky party this week! Be sure to stop by and check out the great resources.

Foldables are such a great addition to our math journals AND the kids always get excited when it's time to make them! Here are a few of them:
