“Fish are Friends, NOT Food!” {Shark Week Blog Hop!}

July 5, 2015 by Sarah Plum(itallo) 4 Comments

I’m so excited to be a part of a team of bloggers coming together to help your students take a BITE out of learning with a theme your students are sure to love! I promise that our shark-themed freebies are MUCH friendlier than the sharks patrolling the East Coast these days!

I love teaching math, and I pride myself on pulling out all of the stops to dig deep with my students and make sure that they understand the process, not just the outcome! This past year I worked hard to put together a monthly series of differentiated word problems geared toward first and second grade students (as well as third graders that need remediation). I’m extremely proud of them, and the growth that they helped my students make throughout the year!
What I’m bringing to you today is a fun, shark-themed sample of a mini-lesson (illustration with modeled examples) and two additional practice problems. These are just like the monthly packs, except they’ve got a fintastic theme to them!

Don’t miss out! Be sure to go for a swim and visit the fantastic Megan Wheeler at Mrs. Wheeler’s First Grade! Each and every blog in the Shark Week Blog Hop features a jawesome freebie for you and your students- but hurry! Shark Week only lasts until Sunday, July 12!

    Differentiating is one of those things that is so important, but takes so much time. I love how you've set this up for the kids and made differentiating so easy for the teacher! Thank you for joining our blog hop!
