Learners explore operations with whole numbers. In this K-6 mathematics lesson, learners use a calculator to develop operation sense in terms of the effect an operation has on the numbers involved. Learners collect data and look for patterns and make conjectures regarding numbers or operations.
In this lesson 2nd graders explore estimation and place value. In this place value lesson, 2nd graders estimate and construct numbers while working with spider activities. In this lesson 2nd graders use addition and subtraction to compare estimates. Resources and assessments are provided.
Students access prior knowledge to round numbers and add decimals. In this mental math lesson, students share the book Betcha and calculate estimates for three jars based on the book. Students calculate money answers based on coins presented them. Students complete a worksheet and play a game.
4th graders answer word problems based on the fifty states. In this math word problem lesson, 4th graders understand that differences in problems require different math operations.
Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers. They are give some 2" by" and some "2 by with a tail" shapes to small groups. Students identify some examples of shapes that represent odd numbers and some that represent even numbers. They work in groups to find patterns when they add or subtract the numbers the shapes represent.
Students explore place value. In this place value lesson, students pull cubes out of bags to create numbers and record the numbers by coloring cubes on a worksheet. Students use stacked cubes as tens and separate cubes as ones.
Students explore rational numbers. In this number sense lesson, students use calculators to collect data and identify patterns that illustrate the relationship between the rational number and division.
In this lesson learners participate in a race to compare whole numbers. In this number operations lesson, learners create the largest 10-digit number and discuss how they constructed the largest number.
Students investigate integers on a number line. In this integer lesson, students explore integers, positive numbers, negative numbers, and absolute value. Students investigate associative, commutative and distributive properties of integers. Students study product, quotient, sum, and difference of integers.
In this lesson students recognize numbers and their value. In this numbers lesson, students observe where numbers and how numbers are used everyday. In this lesson students identify why these numbers are important.
