G Math for Google Docs (Writing Math Tests, etc)

There is an add on in Google Docs called Gmath that makes it super easy to add fractions and math equations to a Google Doc. For teachers in my district, it is really handy for writing collaborative assignments. Go to the add-on menu in Google Docs and forms to use it.

Type in a fraction such as 1 and 1/4 and it automatically converts to the correct (elementary friendly) format. See the image below.

Fun Activity for Contraction Practice

Some of the teachers in my district were looking for extra contraction practice. I put this little activity together that they could use as a station. After the fun of cutting everything out, the student can match the top of the cupcake to the bottom and they can scan the QR code to see if they got it right.
