Specifically for the last trimester, Graham Fletcher's "All Aboard" 3-Act Lesson (listed within the Engage section of 7.1) and Math Antics Video, "Explanation of Polygons," (listed within the Engage section of in 12.3) are two favorite resources for the content covered.
This year, the Elementary Math Specialists have added many Numberless Word Problems and Enrichment activities for every grade level based on teacher feedback from last year's survey. Be sure to check them out as well!
