Graphs bring data to life and help us draw conclusions about the information presented. In this lesson students will engage with three different kinds of graphs by asking and answering interpretive questions.

Students will begin to calculate volume of different rectangular prisms using base ten cubes and then transition to using the formula V = L x W x H. Students will then practice using the legendary fifth grade activity, Cootie Catchers.

Teach your students how to write decimals in expanded decimal form with this fun game. Students will be writing and comparing decimals while not even realizing they are learning one of the most complicated 5th grade math standards.

Start a dialogue around area models! In this lesson, encourage students to ask questions as they multiply using area models. Use this lesson on its own or as support to the lesson Area Models and Multiplication.

In this tactile lesson, students will understand how decimals relate to a whole number by using base 10 blocks in a whole new way!
