We include 4 removable, and reusable Goal Arrows with each Wall Chart. These stick to the Wall Chart to set motivating goals for your students. If your school needs Goal Arrows or additional Goal Arrows, here’s how to get them. Order Item 2008 and we will send you 48 additional arrows–enough for 16 teachers.

With everyone’s initial order of Wall Charts we send 4 sheets of star stickers (over 750) for each Wall Chart ordered. But what if your school has somehow run out of star stickers for the Rocket Math Wall Charts? Order Item #2007 and we will send you 40 additional sheets of star stickers–over 7,500 stickers.
This is a program to ensure that students have a firm and correct understanding of fractions. This will prepare them well for all subsequent work in fractions. They will learn the essential rule about what the numerator and denominator mean, although they won’t be working with those terms. They just learn through examples, practiced over and over.
The number on the top tells how many parts are shaded. The number on the bottom indicates the number of parts in a whole. If a whole is not divided into parts, it is a whole number.
Right from the beginning of Set A students will encounter improper fractions and mixed numbers. They will see examples of every fraction first at the top of the page before they are asked to identify it on their own. You see that students see the fraction, see the words for how we say it and they see the fraction they are to write.
Unlike other Rocket Math programs, the test and the practice items are the same. Of course the students have a page without the answers, while their partner holds the answer key. Students practice by saying aloud to their partner the fractions shown in the test. Then they take the test on those same items, but write the answer.
After becoming fluent with subtraction facts the best way for students to retain the knowledge of those facts is by doing subtraction computation. If students have not been taught subtraction computation, Subtraction–Learning Computation breaks it down into 18 small, easy-to-learn steps that are numbered in a teaching sequence that leaves nothing to chance. Even better the instructional materials include an assessment of all the skills in subtraction computation in order, so you can test the knowledge of the student(s) before beginning instruction to see where to start. You can use this assessment to find very specific “holes” in student skills and then have the exact problems and explanation to fill that hole.
Note that the number for each skill gives the grade level as well as indicating the teaching sequence. Skill 3b is a 3rd grade skill and after skill 3g is learned the next in the sequence, skill 4a is best taught in fourth grade. Minor changes have been made, but for the most part, the sequence of skills is drawn from M. Stein, D. Kinder, J. Silbert, and D. W. Carnine, (2006) Designing Effective Mathematics Instruction: A Direct Instruction Approach (4th Edition) Pearson Education: Columbus, OH.
(1b) Subtract from 2 digits; no renaming.
(2a) Subtract from 2digits; renaming required.
(2b) Subtract from 3 digits; borrow from 10s.
(3a) Subtract from 3 digits; borrow from 100s.
(3b) Subtract from 3 digits; borrow either place.
(3c) Subtract tens minus one facts.
(3d) Subtract from 3 digits; zero in 10s; borrow 10s or 100s.
(3e) Read and write thousands numbers, use commas.
(3f) Subtract from 4 digits; borrow from 1000s.
(3g) Subtract from 4 digits; borrow once or more.
(4a) Subtract from 4 digits; zero in 10s or 100s column
(4b) Subtract from 4 digits; zero in 10s column, 1 in 100s.
(4c) Subtract hundreds minus one facts.
(4d) Subtract from 4 digits; zero in 10s and 100s column.
(4e) Subtract 1, 2, or 3 digits from 1,000.
(4f) Subtract 5 and 6 digits with borrowing.
(5a) Subtract thousands minus one facts.
(5b) Subtract from a number with four zeroes.
For each skill there is a suggested Teaching Script giving the teacher/tutor/parent consistent (across all the skills we use the same explanation) language of instruction on how to do the skill. My favorite part is the rule students are taught for when to borrow (often confusing for students): Bigger bottom borrows. Simple, easy-to-remember and consistently correct. The script helps walk the student through the computation process. For the teacher, in addition to the script, there are answer keys for the five worksheets provided for each skill.
Each worksheet is composed of two parts. The top has examples of the skill being learned that can be worked by following the script. After working through those examples with the teacher the student is then asked to work some review problems of addition problems that are already known. The student is asked to do as many as possible in 3 minutes—a kind of sprint. If all is well the student should be able to do all the problems or nearly all of them, but finishing is not required. Three minutes of review is sufficient for one day.
There are five worksheets for each skill. Gradually as the student learns the skill the teacher/tutor/parent can provide progressively less help and the student should be able to do the problems without any guidance by the end of the five worksheets. There are suggestions for how to give less help in the teaching scripts.
