When I was teaching 5th grade math, we had a textbook and workbook that we were suppose to follow. As I worked through it chapter by chapter, I discovered that it didn’t actually follow the common core standards very well. It jumped around from topic to topic and had us teaching things that weren’t in the standards.
One of the standards it didn’t cover was 5.NF.B.4.B: finding the area of a rectangle with fractional sides.
Since our book didn’t cover this topic, it became one of the first common core standard aligned practice worksheets that I made for my students.
When we were covering this topic in class, I didn’t spend much time on it since it wasn’t in our textbook. It was something that I wanted to briefly touch on in order to make sure I hit the checkmark of covering the standard. I also couldn’t find much material on the subejct to give to my students!
I have since worked on several resoruces to help students practice this skill.
I have created two differentiated sets of practice sheets designed for students to work on indpendently. I also have guided notes to use when introducing the topics to students. Hopefully these resources are as useful to you as they were to me when our textbooks didn’t cover the proper standards!
