Math Applied Skills: Measurement and Data-Time with Tables and Graphs


Available now in my TeachersPayTeachers store!

This set of applied math skills materials for grades 3 and 4 features graphs and data tables related to measurement of time with leveled sets of questions for differentiation. Materials are aligned to Common Core math standards for third grade and fourth grade related to measurement of time and data.

The questions require students to use the four operations to solve problems (3.OA.A.3, 3.OA.D.8, 4.MD.A.2), convert units of time between hours and minutes (4.MD.A.1), tell time and calculate elapsed time (3.MD.A.1), draw and interpret picture graphs and bar graphs (3.MD.B.3, RI.4.7) and use information presented in data tables.

Each graph or table comes with three leveled sets of questions for differentiation, plus a non-leveled page.

These are the types of problems you often see in applied skills sections of standardized tests, for which there are few prep materials. Please check back for math applied skills materials dealing with other standards in the future. 

Full answer key included.

December Comic Strips for Creative Writing

Graphic novels are all the rage in elementary classrooms and comic book movies are dominating the box office as well as the toy shelves.  Meanwhile, our classes often have several students who are the definition of reluctant writer.  These "Comic Strips for Creative Writing" are the perfect solution, especially these snowmen and Santa-themed sets, which I have bundled for a discount as well.

Head over to my TeacherPayTeachers store and check them out.  Clicking on these covers will take you right there.  They feature snowmen, Santa, and elves in humorous situations and blank speech/thought bubbles ready for your students' creative dialogue ideas.  It is really amazing what students do with these!
