Maths Ad Libs - Fractions & Decimals by Learning Resources from £7.95
Maths Ad Libs - Fractions & Decimals . An extension to our popular Phonics Ad Libs, this series combines maths story problems with early grammar for lots of laughs and learning. Students insert words into a story and solve the maths problem described. Introduces parts of speech, teaches maths skills, and fosters creativity. Includes 48 pages of reproducible worksheets for hours of learning and years of use. Age Group 8 - 11.
Math Ad Libs activities are designed to supplement your classroom mathematics instruction program and are ideal for learning centers or for at-home practice. Students of different ability levels can enjoy these activities, though lower-level readers may need additional help. You may want to create lists of words for each part of speech in the exercise. Students can select words from the list to complete the story problem. Higher-level readers may be able to read and select their words independently or in small groups. A variety of fraction and decimal concepts are featured, including reducing, comparisons, adding and subtracting, and rounding. In addition to providing practice with fractions and decimals, the activities in this book reinforce students’ knowledge of parts of speech as they improve their understanding of the role each word plays in a sentence. You may wish to review parts of speech with your students before beginning the activities, and brainstorm examples of different types of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
A well-timed mini-lesson on challenging issues, such as using –s or –es to pluralize a word (fox to foxes), or choosing between the articles a and an may be very effective when students hear something that sounds wrong or see something that looks wrong after inserting their words into the stories. You may find that students insert the inappropriate tense or form of a verb into their stories (past vs. present, singular vs. plural). Encourage them to listen for subject-verb agreement as you (or they) read their stories aloud, and demonstrate how to correct things that "sound wrong" as these opportunities arise. Again, a mini-lesson on agreement or tense could be meaningfully inserted as the stories are read aloud.
