I started my search for Math resources
that address Numbers and Operations in Base Ten in the Instructional Resources.
I chose this topic because many of our 6th grade students were
having trouble with place value this year. I found a PowerPoint addressing
Ratio Tables. After opening and looking at all of the resources, I realized
that it was not going to work for our students because we use different methods
in our 6th grade math classes. Then I went back to the Home page and
found the ‘Posted with Distinction’ playlists. This was where I found some
great resources I can use. Specifically, I found an activity where students explore
fractions and division by solving a cheese slicing problem. It’s real-world and
evaluative.
