Engage NY Application Problems, A Giveaway, & a SALE!!

Hi All, well this is going to be a busy post, but if you make it to the bottom there's a giveaway and a Sale so hang in there.  I finally got around to posting my Engage NY 2nd Grade Application Problems for Module 4.  They have been done for some time now it just took me awhile to get them all prepped and ready to be posted in my store.  I always forget how long that part actually takes.  I always get excited to post something and start uploading things and then I remember I haven't locked down all the clip art, etc. so I always end up spending way more time sitting at the computer then I expect to.  But now it's finished (Yay!) so here it is:



This new addition to my store is just like my last only it features the application problems for Module 4.  It contains large slides that I use to display the problems on my Activboard.


We always solve the problem multiple ways as a class using the student's different strategies.  For my fast finishers I always challenge them to solve each problem as many different ways as they can so we always have multiple strategies to discuss and share.  It also has student pages that can be used to make student work books.  Each student page has work space, writing lines, and a Read, Draw, Write checklist at the bottom.
GIVEAWAY: If you would like to win a copy of my module 4 Application problems leave a comment and your e-mail address below and I will pick one lucky winner to e-mail the file to for free!

I have found these to be really helpful in my implementation of Engage NY and I hope you do too.  I plan to start working on Module 5 in the next week or so since we will be finishing Module 4 shortly after we return from break so check back soon or follow me so you can grab those when they are ready.  For now visit my store where everything is on sale for the next 2 days! 
As always, Thanks for reading!!!

Engage NY Module 3 Application Problems

Has your school jumped on the Engage NY train yet?  At my school we voted as a staff to follow it this year because we were unhappy with the program we were using.  I tested it out a little bit last year and am working my way through the program this year.  I like it but like any program it takes some getting used to.  We're all struggling a bit as we work our way through it but I'm hoping that by next year it won't feel so new and overwhelming.  The hardest part so far has been the pacing.  There are exactly 180 lessons and exactly 180 days of school for us.  Like it's possible to teach a lesson EVERY day ALL school year.  What about the first day of school, or field trips, or holidays, or days they just didn't get it and you want to stop and reteach.
Anyway, I'm not here today to complain about it and tell you everything that is wrong with it, like I said I do like the program, I'm here to share a new product with you.  After searching pinterest and TPT for resources to use with the program I felt underwhelmed by what was out there so I decided to make some of my own.  The first product I have finished is my Engage NY 2nd Grade Application Problems for Module 3.  




I started with module 3 because well that's where we were in the program.  The file contains all of the Engage NY Module 3 Application problems for 2nd grade.  It can be used for displaying on your interactive whiteboard or printed for the students.  When I use it on my activboard I just annotate over the screen so that we can solve it together on the board after the students have worked on the problem in their math journals. I included student work pages that you can copy and assemble as workbooks for your students, or I like to just print the slides in a smaller size for students to cut and glue into their math journals since we had already started using our composition books for that before I made this product. Each page/slide contains the lesson title, application problem from that lesson, as well as blank space at the bottom for solving the problem. I hope you find this product useful, I know it saves me time as I'm preparing for the lessons. I am currently working on Module 4 since we are about to start that and will post it once it's ready. I do plan to do this for all of the modules so if this is something you can use follow me so you'll get the updates when I have added them to my store. :) I am also considering doing this for other grade levels once I have finished with 2nd grade so comment below with your grade level if this is something you could use in your classroom.

As Always Thanks for Reading!
