Description
Word analogies are one of the most effective ways to build vocabulary while simultaneously developing critical thinking skills. Unlike vocabulary activities that require students to memorize word definitions, word analogies develop a deep understanding of a word meaning by exploring the relationships between words. When students form logical connections between words, they create a mental network of ideas, which deepens understanding and increases retention. While solving word analogies, students are contextualizing the words as they search for word relationships.
When students work with analogies, they…
•expand and deepen their vocabulary.
•understand the relationships between ideas and words.
•recognize and understand multiple-meaning words.
•think critically and apply logical reasoning.
•learn to decipher word meanings based on context.
•build a network of understanding that improves retention and aids future learning.

Too advanced for 5th grade
I liked this resource but my 5th grade students struggled with making these connections
Not appropriate for beginning of the year
This is very hard for me to implement until almost the third quarter. Week one has decimals, and my fourth graders don't learn about decimals until the third quarter. It also jumps into division and bigger multiplication early. I wish it had a few weeks of third-grade review.
Affixes Resource Pack
This was not exactly what I was looking for for a supplemental resource for my 5th grade class.
Not a "spiral" review
I wanted to like this so much because it was exactly what I wanted. But, Week 1 already starts talking about coordinate grids and volume, standards that aren't covered until later on in the school year. I wish it was organized by the order the standards are taught throughout the school year instead of introducing end-of-year concepts in the first few weeks.
Great Activities, but Limited Direct Instruction
This resource is advertised as a week-long unit, but in practice it functions more like one day of direct instruction followed by several activity days. There is only one PowerPoint for teaching, with the remaining materials focused on practice.
I expected a more balanced structure with instruction and assessment spread across multiple days. For example, I was able to use the PowerPoint and the second day’s worksheet within a single class period, and the “scoot” activity worked well for a separate day. However, I’m unsure how I’ll incorporate the remaining sketch notes, which might have been more effective if directly integrated into the initial instruction.
One major area for improvement is alignment between instruction and assessment. The assessments and task cards include concepts like “to be” verbs and auxiliary verbs, but these are not introduced or modeled in the PowerPoint. This created confusion for my students and could easily be developed into an additional day of instruction.
Overall, the materials are well-designed and engaging, but the unit would benefit from more comprehensive instruction and clearer alignment between teaching and assessment.

I just purchased this product but I did not get the " 15 “force copy” links that will take you to the Google sheets files". Can you let me know if I am doing something wrong?
Hello, Florence! The force copy links are on page 271 of the PDF file.
Is it supposed to be just the one powerpoint and the PDF? In the download, there are two powerpoint files. One titled "Level5Analogies" and another titled "~$Level5Analogies". I could not get the "~$Level5Analogies" to open, so I'm not sure if I am missing something and need to troubleshoot.
Hello, Stephanie! Yes, there should be two files: a PDF and a PowerPoint. Not to worry. Please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
I downloaded the file but don't see the link to the google forms.
Hi Lara. The Google Links are located towards the end of the PDF. The table of contents will tell you what pages those are on.
I am having trouble finding the Google Form link to get access online.
Thanks!
Hello! The links are located at the end of the PDF.
I bought the Analogies Grade 5. When I tried to open the powerpoint, it says there is a problem with it. Is there another way the powerpoint can been checked?
Thanks for reaching out! I just checked the file and everything is working as it should. Please be sure you are selecting the file titled "Level5Analogies.pptx" and not "~$Level5Analogies.pptx". If you are still having trouble with the file, please contact TpT directly so they can troubleshoot this with you: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
Hi there,
I use your Get to the Root Of It regularly with my fifth graders and we love the analogies. Can you tell me if these are repeats of the analogies in that resource or are they different? I'll wait to purchase until I hear back from you - I'm assuming these are all different, but just want to make sure.
Thank you!
Hi Christy! Thanks for reaching out. The analogies in this are completely different from those in Get to the Root of It.
EDITED: I FOUND THEM, THANKS!
I can't find the link for the Google Forms.
Wonderful, Jamie!
I am a first year teacher, and so excited to use analogies to help expand my student's vocabulary as they are struggling this year with it after losing part of last year. I can't figure out what common core standards I can attach to my lesson (I need it for admin). Any suggestions? Thank you so much, I have loved using your morning work/grammar/reading passages this year!
Hi Kasee! The Common Core Standards for this resource is CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.5.4.A
Use context (e.g., cause/effect relationships and comparisons in text) as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.
Are the tech issues fixed now, or is it still a matter of trouble shooting with TPT? Thanks.
Hi Noelle. If you are having issues downloading the file, then yes, you will need to contact TpT. We simply upload our files to the platform. TpT's platform encrypts them and prepares them for download. If there is a download issue, only TpT can address that.
I did not receive the Google Classroom version in my $6 purchase. One of the Powerpoint options in the zip file would not allow me open and there was no Google classroom information.
Hello! The Google Forms links are located in the PDF at the end of the file. The PowerPoint file is appearing normal on my end. Please be sure that your PowerPoint version is up to date. If you still need assistance with the PowerPoint file, please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
